That's all true but Hama didn't seem to be thrilled by the changes at first. His initial reaction to the casting of Golding (attached) is evident of that. Regardless my ass will be in a seat opening night. I hope I love it and it makes hundreds of millions!
Hama was responsible for making the ninja element a major part of GI Joe. GI Joe was NEVER supposed to be "modern military". It's military fantasy if anything. Hell, there was a laser trooper in wave 1 and a guy with a JET PACK. I'm happy it doesn't look like Battlefield 2042. That isn't GI Joe. |

Yeah, well, ya know? There's no point in arguing. I'll just say this, go watch the Snake Eyes trailer again & count how many military vehicles or soldiers you see in it. That's pretty much all anybody needs to know. And knowing is half the battle. Right?
I personally want to see a GI Joe movie. NOT Ninja Gaiden, Mortal Kombat, Tenchu or Shinobi. I want to see Sky Strikers, Rattlers, Killer Whales & Mobats. NOT sword fights & martial arts. You can have your ninjas in it but don't over-do it. |

SPOILERS If no one has seen it by now There is speculation since WandaVision, that her "X-Gene" was there dormant and the Mind Stone was the "traumatic" incident that triggered it. |

Something I pointed out in one of the FB Joe pages, its like the "Writers Room" didnt read any of the 500+ comics to get a grasp of the mythos, with some of the changes they made. There are a few things, that seem blended though too.
The Hard Master is the same freaking age as SE and SS. I think the action weve seen in the trailer looks great on the positive side. From what we can tell, for whatever reason SE is already in Japan, instead of SS inviting him to "join the family business." Having Baroness "knowing" who SE is, and having her eye on him, instead of her vendetta for thinking he was the one that killed her brother, is fine. Its more inline with Declassified, with CC trying to recruit SE to his cause. |

As far as Ninjas go...Mr. Hama was drawing from his martial arts background (for better or for worse). The very first mention of ninjas was in issue 10 of the comic. I'm not sure if Ron Rudat was influenced by Larry Hama's comic when it came time to create the Storm Shadow figure. |

I'd like to hear everyones comments after seeing it. The reviews I've seen today don't look too good.

Ok. I just saw the movie and have posted in a couple of threads already but I will add my to cents to this one as well. I try to not get in the habit of continually posting negative comments, and I tried to go in to this movie with an open mind, but this was a disappointment. I always liked the early ninja element of Gi Joe and as a long time practitioner of martial arts I enjoy seeing them in movies. However this just wasn’t good as a martial arts movie, despite the talent involved, and it wasn’t a good movie period. I understand that they tried a different take on the character but he doesn’t come off as hero we would cheer for. Hopefully the general public enjoys it more than I did.

Other than the very little bit that Scarlett and Baroness are in the film it could have easily been just any other modern era ninja film.
They hint around that the Joe and Cobra organizations have been around for a while but the movie is almost completely focused on the ninja clan and cool sword fights. |

As a Sci-Fi ninja movie I thought it wasn't to horrible. As a G.I.Joe movie the tie in's all seemed forced, and the character motivations were completely changed. I think they were trying to make Snake Eyes an antihero instead of having him be the traditional honorable hero which made him someone that the audiences will have a hard time relating to and understanding why he is so significant to the future of the Joe story other than the end scene where Scarlet basically says you are important to the continuing story because we say its so. in the end I hope we do get a sequel and that they read some comics first and realign the characters. Maybe skip to His face and voice were messed up between movies and get an actor with better screen presence.

I just think the movie was an okay movie. I really wasn't going into it expecting it to blow my mind or being amazing. The others in my opinion were more of a spectacle. say what you will about ROC/Retaliation. I will say the third act of this newest one was better than Retaliation. I also thought this movie had a really good score. the music was good definitely.
but still...this movie was way more....done. you see it once and that's all you need. but of course that is subjective.
