Many G.I. JOE (Movie) Character Shots Storm The Nets!!
Merrick here...
I was distracted by life a few weeks ago, so I may be wrong about this. BUT, I seem to recall hearing that these pics briefly appeared online, and were immediately banished.
If these are the same images? Seems they're back. If these are being posted for the first time...then a hearty "well done" to the site hosting the pics!
Many, many shots of cast/characters from Stephen Sommer's G.I. JOE adaptation await. They're in costume, in make-up, the works.

This is looking more like a SciFi channel movie of the week with every update we get. Christ.
-
horrible.
-
I didnt know X4 was coming.
-
I'll give them that
-
How can you fuck this up! My god!
-
I was excited about this film...that has officially fizzled.
Tell me that's not Baroness...please. -
lol. x2.
-
They ARE all in black. ALL of them. This is looking really bad. Good guys and bad. The whole point of GI Joe was the fun hokey Village People vibe. Wow. Way to really miss the point!
-
...or don't say anything at all, right AICN?
-
I wonder if Harry will splooge all over this POS.
-
is how BADASS Dennis Quaid looks. Could it be . . . that he could STILL BE HAL JORDAN after all>?
-
Can't this movie be a LITTLE original rather than selling out Hollywood style?
-
...looks like he's trying to seem badass, but instead looks like an old man whose hemorrhoids just acted up. Seriously, click on that photo and tell me he doesn't look like he could use some preparation H.
-
looks like they came from an S&M convention.Oh man what the fuck is this shit? Since when does Gen. Hawk wore a beret, for a sec i thought it was Flint.
Damn you Steven Sommers! -
It's a fashion show gone bad.
-
The little glimmer of hope I had for this (after seeing Snake Eyes)has just officially been stomped out.
-
this is gonna blow.
-
She needs the real glasses, and shouldn't Storm Shadow be masked or am I missing something here?
-
This movie was gonna suck way back when it was first mentioned. Gay Ass suits are only verifying this.

But an entertaining suck possibly!
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Seriously, what were you guys fucking expecting here?
-
Wow, they based it off of the current toys instead of the 80s ones. Somebody should have spoken up. Epic Fail. Dennis Quaid is still a badass though.
-
so its okay to laugh too!
-

"What's up with the all-white ninja?"
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
So do you guys want something faithful to your action figures or not? Seriously What is it you guys wanted out of this movie? Gone With The Motherfucking Wind?
-
That symbol means Ki Tzi - Help attained, complete success.
-
just went and checked them out again. And to my surprise, even more gay the second time around. Dennis Quaid is too good an actor for this shit, must need to make a mortgage payment.
-
Everyone wearing black kills the individual specialist aspect of G.I. Joe. This movie just got torpedoed. And I even like Sienna's look and Storm Shadow's look.
-
Is that why he is in this?
-
I knew they should have made a Blood Pack spin-off. Where's Chupa and Snowman?
-
That is all.
-
nuff said
-
Gone with any possibility of this movie not being fucking retarted!

Would be way better if it was transparant, then id be pumped

Looks like "TEAM AMERICA", except with actors replacing puppets.
by mike_d
I wonder if one of the team members hate actors because they were raped by the cast of the broadway "CATS".
-
Fashion show, Looks like a quite gay Cantopop stage costume. I think Andy Lau wore that at his last performance
-
What the fuck is this horse shit!? I knew Stephen Sommers would make a shitty movie, but I hoped it would at least LOOK like G.I. JOE. This film should have been a costume designers wet dream, instead they stick them in Batman body suits... LAME, LAME, FUCKING LAME ASS FAGGOT SHIT!!!
-
Wow, this went off the rails incredibly fast. Leave it to Sommers. And there was a glint of promise in those Snake Eyes shots. Anyone check to see if the costume designer is the same from the X-Men movies? I would bet these aren't just ripoffs in design but the same people doing the work. Storm Shadow looks ridiculous.
-
from Justice League. I promise if that shit movie gets made, this is the type of gayness we will get, no doubt.
-
I noticed that in "Van Helsing". Its like they had a professional hair stylist and Avon in the small village. And to my suprise, looks like the G.I. ladies like to look they're best before they battle the Cobra.
-
Make them look something like the source material. Of any property from comics or cartoons, GI Joe has (or had) to be the easiest character designs to translate into film. Duke had green khaki pants and a tan shirt or something like that. Now he's Batman. I mean, they cant even put glasses on the Baroness and use sunglasses instead? Maybe they use body armor for combat scenes in the movie, but for fuck's sake, put them in costumes somewhat resembling the source material, at least for part of the film, and especially for the first shots released to the public! Let's than Sam Raimi and Jon Favreau for being at least somewhat faithful to the source material visuals.
-
Or I'm gonna piss on the movie print when my theatre gets it!
-
Oh crap. And Cover Girl's outfit has "G.I. Joe" plastered all over the camo like it's a fashion label. Give me a break.
-
but come on people, this thing was doomed before it began! With the exception of say Quaid and Park, all those involved suck. Did you think we'd really get a good live action Joe movie? Hell no, which is sad b/c it could be really fun and cool to fans and non fans alike if handled right.
-
To give Steven some credit you guys have to understand the black uniforms are for a particular sequence in the movie.
Having said that … Gi-Cosplay
-
big fan of the beasties btw. Get ready to piss your heart out! JLA will reach this level of homo erotica. not that theres anything wrng with that
-
Most of those look like they came from those cheap costume stores that sprout up around Halloween.
-
They want their suits back.
This year's little miss bladeshine -
-TARDED
-
if I gave a shit about this movie. But I don't so who cares.
-
The black costumes are probably just their black ops suits. They probably have other getups. Relax.
-
The Sigma Six toys at least had more color to them. And this is what bugs me...
What is the job of the director? To set the tone. To give the story texture...
And what do we get from the Sommers and Ratners of earth: flavorless, empty garbage.
Why hire these people? They bring no vision or voice. B.S. -
This shit looks bad bad.
-
Only a force that is controlled by, and bows at the altar of the U.N. would look like these idiots. If I were Dennis Quaid, I'd shoot my agent. LMFAO.
-
*Did Dennis Quaid lose a bet?
*I know this will suck...
..and knowing is half the battle.
*Baroness looks like Bono with those glasses
*ate Trinity from the Matrix and is now wearing her skin as a trophy
etc
-
Barely.
Your the cretinous troll that keeps posting "sommersverse" and actually believes Van Helsing is a work of cinematic genius aren't you? -
First I don't know who any of these guys are supposed to be except for Snake Eyes. Second. I laughed out loud when I saw Dennis Quaid with that groaner expression on his face. This is looking TERRIBLE!
-
You should copyright GI JOKE. Just take a screen shot of your post there and e-mail it to yourself.
-
Who ever said Joe needed a blond? Anyway, I'll withhold judgment until I see more. I'd lay odds that Duke will be wearing more traditional garb for most of the film. And Storm Shadow looks BADASS.
-
marlon wayans veins.
http://tinyurl.com/53y3kx
-
I see this film as playing out where they go and recruit these guys, who appear dressed more as they did in the cartoon etc. and then when they get ready to go to battle they suit up in these outfits. I mean come on guys, you can't run out onto a battle field wearing a bright red jersey with big blue letters, and carrying a bazooka...you might as well wear a neon sign that says shoot me. This is about an elite anti-terrorist group put together from the best in the armed forces. I just don't understand the whole "make it look like the cartoon" argument. I'm sorry but if you've ever been to a convention where people are running around dressed exactly like the people from these shows they look silly. They would be downright stupid looking if you stuck them in the middle of Iraq dressed like that.
-
But I do think the GI Joe logo printed on Quaid's pants is stupid.
-
PLANT!
-
We could except just about anything as long as it was good. This just looks bad. If these are supposed to be press photos, comparetively to other high end production stills from other movies this looks very C grade.
-
but where the hell is the Cobra symbol? I'm not completely sold on Storm Shadow...he really needs a balaclava, but I guess the studio only wants one masked ninja. The all-black uniforms must be the "enhanced battlesuits", so there might still be hope for more distinctive uniforms. I have to agree that Quaid doesn't look good. Damn. Scarlett, Snakes, Baroness, and Storm Shadow are fine, the others are crap. Of course, they will probably look better in the context of a movie, but as it stands now they need some fixin'.
-
Sommers is really shooting from the hip now. I don't even know what that means. Fuck Sommers! I've lost my metaphor skills.
-
Yes these pictures are as wrong as I can imagine, and I am so damn glad to hear that EVERY LAST person on this forum is pissed at the costumes. But please tell me, where was this outcry when we first saw the horrible Transformers designs? Those were equally insulting. Now I have to wait patiently for years for someone with some sense to "reboot" both Transformers and G.I.Joe. This might be a long wait.
-
Just advance shots to show the guys in costume, not production photos to be used for merchandising etc. Perhaps why they keep showing their asses.
-
Cause' I'd rather not think about how Sommers is Pope Benedicting my childhood.
-
That's what apologists kept saying about the Transformers designs. Bet you they aren't.
-
Stepen Sommers better start putting some plants on this forum. His movie is being torn to shreds. I bet we hear some assholes defending this black leather garbage real soon. Oh wait, too late. I already see some plants questioning the hate.
-
Mark Hammil will run into the costume unveiling in a full Destro uniform and give a heartfelt speech to an audience of geeks.
-
makes a good point. remember how DORKY the street fighter movie looked? its because those guys chose to go the cartoony route. yeah, it would be NOSTALGIC for 30 year old nerds to see the joes in the action figure clothes, but it just won't be practical. that said, though...storm shadow the versace ninja...his belt buckles coordinate well with his sword. sorry...but that storm shadow is just sooo liberace gay.
-
Marlon Wayons head on it.
-
Right now this thing stinks of fail.. stinks hardcore. I'll be very shocked it it turns out any better then Street Fighter the movie.
-
At first I was like, WTF but, then I realized that they're supposed to be a military outfit. As someone in the military it makes sense to me that this goverment agency would have them wearing uniforms, not everybody showing up in wearing whatever. It never bothered me as a kid, but now it's like so the navy guy just shows up in his utilities, the marine guy with a pretty gay blue vest and Village People Hat, Duke gets to wear an army uniform. They're supposed to be one team, not a bunch of individuals a'la JLA. So the all black stealth outfit makes sense to me, and like someone else mentioned, I'm sure they've got other outfits besides. Or even if they don't, it makes sense realistically. -
between Snakes and Storm Shadow I will be happy. I just wish they'd gone with his second uniform, the one with the hood and grey slashes. That was a badass uniform. They should throw in a few Night Creeper ninjas as well. And maybe the Hard and Soft Masters. And Billy and his cybernetic leg. I wonder what Zartan's gonna look like?
-
is the only interesting thing so far from this film. (snake eyes looks okay)For those who hadn't heard, the dumb meat-head Channing Tatum let it slip in an interview for Stop Loss that Joey G Levitt is Cobra Commander in the film.Levitt was good in Brick and The Lookout, but he seems a little young. Should be interesting.
-
I don't think the average kid even does know. So who is the studio making this for? Us...the peeps who remember it as it was? Then why the fuck don't they try to stay true to the source. And fuck this "well *sniff, sniff* it might not look realistic *pout, sniffle*. Shut the Fuck up.
-
With his football on a stick?
-
I liked Transformers. It wasn't the best Transformer's movie ever but it was a decent movie. It was cool to see character's I grew up with on screen. I'm not saying that GI Joe is going to be the best GI Joe movie that could be made but it'll be cool to see it. I'm just not one to think that you can take what was origionally there and slap it on screen and people will love it. Writing a comic book vs. Making a cartoon vs. making a live action movie is 3 different things. You're just never going to see the greatest director with the perfect cast make the greatest movie based on beloved characters...it'll never happen. Politics, money, timing, all that factors in. You have to take each piece of work and base your love/hate on it as it is it's own thing. Somtimes you get a good collaboration and a great movie (donner/superman, superman, X2, Spider-man etc.) sometimes you get okay ones (Transformers, Fantastic Four) and sometimes you get bad ones (X3, Hulk).
-
Remember Van Helsing? That was a complete load of stale jism and yet Harry wrote a glowing review and morons like Valerious praised it to the heavens
-
So anybody have another link to these pictures since AICN has had theirs "temporarily suspended"?
-
I give a 50% chance that both Destro will NOT have a metal head, and that Cobra Commander will NOT have a simple mirror face helmet. Something tells me that those two aren't going to look anything like themselves. They took away Baroness's glasses, probably because she didn't look cool enough with them, and they took away Stormshadows balaclava, and cool grey and white camouflage. They basically have taken away every visual detail that made these characters what they are. And that prick who posted about that you cant go into battle with bright red, so of course they would wear black. Screw you. I don't see any soldiers in real life walking arround in black leather. There is nothing wrong with some color, and if the costume has red in it- for this movie it could be a very low saturated red. This movie is GIino.
-
Save yourself the pain.
-
and I have no real bias regarding this. All I said is you just used the exact same excuse that was used with the Transformers designs. If you liked it then, fine good for you. Cheers for the patronising lecture about how I should approach each movie though. I clearly have learnt something new today.
-
comes in the fact that this movie is slated for 2009...still plenty of time to make changes and fixes. I hope. Maybe we'll end up with Storm Shadow climbing up the side of a burning building, tossing Cobra officers out of windows. That was one badass issue, BTW.

both samus aran(we know ur a geek because of this name) and F U popeaphile(prob are a real pedofile) why dont u both STFU and get off transformers dick...u didnt like it because it wasnt a carbon copy of the 80s cartoon, which would have looked like shit....and they will never reboot transformers because the current movie is awesome and the sequels will be equally awesome...700mil box office=no reboot for whiny fanboys....now that we dealt with the transformers haters.....the characters look great....im sure the black outfits are for a specific mission and thats when the photographers showed up to take pics......as u can see cover girl dont have black on...quaid looks just like general hawk from the cartoon....and im loving the gi-joe camoflage pants....covergirl has the whole outfit going....cant wait to see the first trailer.....u "why cant they honor the source material" ....cuz its a movie, not a cartoon....not a comic book...."why cant they have their costumes and uniforms from the cartoon" ....because it would look lame......imagine if Xmen had been tru to the cartoon, can u imagine wolverine in tight yellow spandex in a 2hr movie ? , theres a reason things have to be different from cartoon or comic to the silver screen, and its a level of believability....if it looked exactly like the cartoon it would look absolutely rediculous....just like transformers, using the cartoon designs would look rediculous and laughable....the 80s are gone and so is the reason u losers still live at home , grow up , please, or just die, ur taking up space and wasting my oxygen...and please dont breed.
-
You said "Somtimes you get a good collaboration and a great movie (donner/superman, superman, X2, Spider-man etc.) sometimes you get okay ones (Transformers, Fantastic Four) and sometimes you get bad ones (X3, Hulk)." OMG!! Are you serious. All of those movies actually DID suck. Especially Donner's Stuperboy. Oh well. Have fun with that.
-
what Cobra Commander looks like? Are there any traditional Cobra Vipers in the film? Anyone? Bueller?
-
Other than that, I really would have to see the costumes in action. None of them are as bad as the "Transformers" redesigns though.

Don't defend the Catholic priests who tucked you into bed at night and mistakenly grazed your willy. And try to be original with your bullshit "cutdowns". Now go to confession fag and have yourself a ball.

here we go again, another classic franchise getting a royal fucking (don't come bleating at me with the 'it's just a toy' bullcrap either). But the unwashed masses and younger people who don't know any better will flock to it like their daily Big Mac. Anyways, enjoy. I'm out.
-
Don't most soldiers wear matching gear? Put the tit back in you're mouth, you're starting to get a little fussy.
-
or is that just nunchaku in a holster? I don't remember any issue where he used a gun. Snake Eyes did, but as far as I know Storm Shadow never did.

He would look like Butters in the teddy bear/squirrel costume.

Thankfully their not the lycra/spandex suits of MEGAFORCE...
by monkey_king
although I would love to see more color to the costumes, like the original comics/figure costumes. Even a dark yellow and purple suit(w/sculpted dark elements) woulda looked better.
-
HELL NO!!...ahahah Read my post again!! I was quoting w_woody. Hell No!!
-
Megaforce is an amazing piece of schlock cheese. It's one of the archetype so bad it's good movies. Obviously it is pretty inept, but T the same time it is gloriously stupid and downright hysterical. Want to bet that this is just shit? and not fun at all.
-
Grape soda and chocolate covered donuts, anyone?
-
None of what we remember would look right on screen. It would all look dumb.
-
FU Popeaphile said that all the movies I listed sucked. Obviously he's not a fan of comic book movies. However, in my post I said Fantastic Four was okay, it could have been 100% better, but it could have been 100% worse (If you have ever seen the 1993 version).
-
Why would someone bring a crocodile into battle? I really don't see the strategical advantage there at all.
-
Garbage cast w/ models & unknowns, dressed in the sellout X-men attire. Great. I can imagine Marlon Wayan's dialogue as I write this. Let's hope they make the bad guys interesting, this does not look good at all right now. Another 80's cartoon/game transformed into a movie that the world's going to hate. Major F-up.
-
This is the site geeks come to. And it is fun to be a geek. You have quite a bit of knowledge about this stuff for someone who claims not to be a geek, you know about Hawk and Covergirl, and you know who Samus is. You are the worst kind of geek- the kind that is constantly trying to pretend he isn't one, and so never has any fun with this stuff, and isn't fun to talk to about this stuff. Just relax. It's ok to like this stuff. And it's ok to not like it when movies make low quality adaptations of the stuff you like. Trust me, I will be getting on with life, I just want to vent my irritations with these particular movies, and I won't be going to see this one.
-
Do you need another reason? If they did introduce crocodiles into battle this would have much more chance of being watchable shit.
-
I love your liberal way of arguing. Take a comment from a specific quote about a specific subject and generalize the entire thought. I said that the specific comic movies that YOU listed sucked. Not all comic movies. Nice try though.
-
Which comic movies do you like then? Because if you thought Spider-man and X2 were aweful then I'd hate to know which ones you thought where good.
-
I totally fell for it too. I wanted to see the pics so bad. Oh well, at least it wasn't Japanese chicks pissing in each other's mouths... WHIV looks like a shite movie btw.

Good point. Crocodiles would enhance the viewing experience. The movie could open with Crockmaster sicking his crock on Marlon Wayans and Tatum Bell...I mean Channing Crowder...Ior Stockard Channing...fuck what's his name again?

Looks like they're using the "GI Joe: Reloaded" comic from Devil's Due for Storm Shadow's look...

I've just got 1 question. Has anyone called the WWE and got Sgt. Slaughter in training for this film? Come on, the guy has to be in this movie...it's like..written in the scripture.
-
There was no way to put these GI Joe on film and not have it look ridiculous. Even as a cartoon they looked like a circus act. Only the first wave of Joes resembled a military unit.

...Requires you to strap him on a rolling skid and kick him into battle.

to the bitter end. Why? Because I enjoyed the hell out of it. The film as a whole wasn't perfect, but some *moments* were perfect and it was fun - and I didn't feel cheated after watching it...unlike The Phantom Menace, which only had one watchable sequence.

MASK starring David Hasselhoff, Ben Stiller, fill in the rest...
by f u popeaphile
-
Those pictures aren't the abomination to God and Man I thought they'd be by everyone's reactions. I'm not crazy about them, and really have reservations about those battlesuits (hoping those are for a special mission or something), but I'll reserve judgement until I see what it looks like on film. Oh, wait. I'm at AICN. F#$k these costumes! They're ruining the greatest franchise ever!
-
Why does everyone keep bitching about Transformers, the film was fine. Both of these properties are based on toy lines form the 80’s and Transformers isn’t even from America.
Some suit at Hasbro visited Japan I’m sure and snatched up the production rights.
People pining for the Transformers from the cartoon are idiots the animation sucked and cars have changed since the 70’s.
Filmmakers of this genre have to skate a fine line between peoples perceived imaginations, old cartoon animation and what is current and realistic TODAY.
I grew up with the 60’s and 70’s Gi Joes so when these crappy little 3 inch wonders cam out I was appalled. But I grew to like the little dudes and even got married with a Zartan in my (top coat) pocket for good luck.
I realized that times change, even though I’ll always know the original Joe’s are way better.
Speed Racer isn’t going to be based in the 60’s but I’m going to give it a shot because well, it’s just a cartoon and if handled correctly could b really amazing.
Making a movie based on a toyline and having it please everyone is impossible because we all have our own memories of the particular toy and the adventures we gave them. Oh how I wish they would tie a bunch of Firecrackers to shipwreck but it isn’t going to happen in the movie because that was my memory (and I was an adult).
Half the people who comment in here never even owned the toys.
Having said all of that… this really does remind me of the crappy Street Fighter movie.
-
who needs a good beatdown for being a disgrace to Bearkind. Other than that there's nothing wrong with the cunt,
-
until they release a croc into battle. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
-
Now if this was based on that sears exclusive line of figures; Night Force, i would accept the color scheme.As it is, Black in franchise films are too redundant.It's all Batman's fuckin' fault.
-
You say that you enjoyed the hell out of transformers, but you hated Phantom Menace. You must be very perceptive to be able to detect the minute subtleties that distinguish one terrible movie from another. I wonder if you knew, but there is such thing as a good movie- but that might overload your mind, so I wouldn't recommend those to you. You are too busy comparing garbage to garbage, and deciding which garbage you enjoy the hell out of most.

But black suits is nothing new in hollywood, this is their classic crutch. It's proof of how seriously they take themselves in hollywood- they are convinced that characters wearing color in the movies makes them look like clowns. This is the result of constant nepotism in Hollywood. Most people there have no visual sense.

or closer that than comic characters

Does anyone else think that the Brontosaurus in the Busted Tees add looks hot?

Naming yourself after a station, being an asylum seeking cunt that sponges of a bank manager and has to give frequent blow jobs to the middle classed cunt in return for his free board. This is not a great way.

1.Darth Vader
2.The Punisher
3.Blade
4.Venom although Spidey 3 sucked
5.Kate Beckinsale (from those Underworld Movies.)
6.Batman (However he needs some grey just like in the comics.gotta love contrast.)
7.Snake Plissken (despite EFLA being shit.)
8.Snake Eyes of course and not the rest of his "Global Joint Operational Entity" squad..Larry I thought you had some sorta say in regards to this project. -
That is damn right.
-
No need to get nasty...I'm sure you enjoy your fair share of "bad" flicks. My taste in film is quite deep, thank you very much, but a little junk food in my diet won't hurt me. If you couldn't enjoy Transformers, that's not my problem, and it's not Michael Bay's problem. It's your problem. Transformers was better than it had any right to be. The cartoons are not high art, either...I have them all on DVD, and most are nigh unwatchable to my eyes.
-
Whose feet break off a week after you take him out of the box. Super glue fixed that shit about as well as He-Mans legs.
-
Yeah you are right. Some characters should be in black like you said. But the moment that you make everyone in black, Snake Eyes and Baroness don't stand out in any way. That is just not an interesting lineup.
-
I thought this was a joke. This is some of the lamest, laziest costume design I've ever seen.
As noted above, however, there are some great TB observations, including "Team America with humans replacing the puppets." -
This gets funnier and funnier.
-
Storm shadow looks like shit, Michael Dudikoff look better as a ninja, just dress him in white.
-
I even remember reading how Ratner or that Guber guy wanted to make Superman's iconic red n blues to Black and Silver when considering the Superman remake.AAAGGGHH!!At least Supes togs in SR was true to the source, the rest of the movie....well...Oh and I can't forget Catwoman another Black clad persona (Michelle Phiefer not Halle Berry.)
-
To all those people talking about how rediculous it would look if the Joes had color in their costumes, that the lineup of characters in the original Star Wars movies had a ton of color in their costumes, and they didn't look silly at all- they looked great.

Knowing is half the battle -updated for 2009.
-
they are all too damn you, it's like the OC as an action film, why don't you just put in Adam Brody as Bazooka
-
during night attacks, hmmm lemme guess what color Destro and CC's uniform will be.
-
I'd have to say they were really hit-or-miss. The best episodes took place after the animated movie came out...especially "Ghost In The Machine".
-
You're right, I don't need to get nasty. But no, I don't think a single movie in my dvd collection is junk food, except I have "I Robot" embarrasingly in that collection, which I bought blind because of a strong but wrong reccomendation- I still need to get that pollution out of my pristine collection. There is harm in junk food movies, they cause you to forget just how good movies can be. There is nothing of interest in "Transformers". I think you are either so desensitized by poorly made movies that you don't realize this anymore, or you are not very intelligent (not just trying to be nasty). If you have been desensitized by terribly made movies- that is the very reason why Junk food movies are bad.
-
so you don't own any films that would be called shit- I bet I think that some of your collection blows hairy goat nob? What's wrong with kicking back to some garbage? Or what about any so-bad-it's good stuff? There's no harm in laughing your way through Leprechaun in Space- of course it is a bad movie, but it doesn't stop you being able to recognise quality when it comes.
-
the "G.I Joe" all over Cover Girl's uniform? What in the fuck is going on here???
-
Bet this will be as good as the avengers...
-
Trust me, most of my friends love that so bad its good stuff. I remember when I was a kid and I was amazed that someone would make something as bad as "American Ninja". But I am not suprised anymore of how bad movies can be, so theres no such thing as so-bad-its-good to me anymore. I guess I do sound like a pompous fuck, thats cool. I just get like that when I talk about stuff like movies. I'm just sick of bad ones, I do not enjoy them at all. And laughing at Leprechaun is something I can barely do- it makes me more sick than anything.
-
Anyone care to watch Embrace of the Vampire? You really only need to see 5 minutes of it to get the job done.
-
you still haven't given any examples of your "pristine collection". I grew up with Transformers toys, and I enjoyed seeing a live-action Optimus Prime on the screen, looking pretty much like I hoped he'd look. I'm not desensitized, either...I know what makes a bad movie and what makes a good movie. I also know what makes a movie entertaining. If you don't think giant robots blowing each other to shit is entertaining, no worries.
-
well if that is the criteria for collection pollution, then I am clean as fucking whistle. What a relief :)
-
The uni's look cool. Quaid needs a bigger gun though.
-
Anyone wanna borrow that POS? There is no shame in owning bad movies. Sometimes you just want to drink a beer and watch a turd.

Flash Gordon then? or Beastmaster? Wow, you must be a whoe barrel of laughs.

One word: bukake.

I think. It's got Demi Moore in it and is allegedly a supernatural thriller. Except it isn't thrilling, is barely supernatural and has a twist so fucking obvious M Night Shama-whatsis would be ashamed to use.
-
At this point they just want us nerds to be disappointed and don't really give a shit. They figure it's money in the bank no matter how shitty it is. Thanks Michael Bay. Yes, I blame him.
-
Baroness' costume is pretty bad.. which is a shame since it's supposed to be one of the more distinctive costumes in the franchise.
Storm shadow actually does not bug me. The rest... I can deal with. Rachel Nichols is attractive, but the frontal shots of that costume don't look great. Quaid looks like Quaid, which is okay with me. -
Storm Shadow's wearing sneakers. Doesn't that just about say it all.
It's not like they had a tough job, here. Military Gear=Cool. Somehow, though, they managed to make everybody look like a fucking goon. Unbelievable. -
Look at the guns closely are they laser guns?
-
I'm hoping for a decent Snake_Eyes spin off made by anyone other than McG, Ratner, Boll or Sommers.
-
So how about this 'Action Force' movie? hope it's better than that joke of a cartoon.
-
vid from G4 with Olivia Munn looks better:
http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/videos/18905/ Destro_and_Baroness.html -
for Darth Vader saying "yippee" and "wizard!"
-
The Pod Race felt like a rehash of the speeder bike chase from Jedi (only not as good), and the two-headed announcer and farting aliens and superForcemechanicAnakin really just flat out ruined it for me. The good I *was* referring to was the final Maul fight.
-
Do you really want to know what makes up a pristine collection? Here it is (in my oppinion). Star Wars, Alien, Empire Strikes Back, Raiders, The Road Warrior, Blade Runner, The Dark Crystal, Return of the Jedi, Temple of Doom, Ghostbusters, Labyrinth, Aliens, The Princess Bride, Willow, Last Crusade, Terminator 2, The Matrix, All the Lord of the Rings movies, Sin City (maybe), Batman Begins, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, Master and Commander, Miller's Crossing, Heat, Fargo, Fight Club, The Bourne movies, Kill Bills, No Country For Old Men.
And there are others of course- but to me, a complete and pristine collection has these movies in it. -
or Puma? I'd have to go with Puma. "Choosy Ninjas choose Puma!"

That's quite a collection of junk food you got in there. I own all those movies, by the way. With the exception of Labyrinth. If you really prefer Labyrinth to Transfomers...hmmm. "Dance, magic dance". Whatever floats your boat.
-
Wait, were you referring to Pan's Labyrinth? In that case, nevermind what I said about that magic dance thing.
-
is also stanking up your collection. I don't own that one either.
-
I totally missed all of the pictures. Are they hiding anywhere else?
-
The Mexican or Vanilla Sky. Both purchased before viewing.
-
LOL, how can I defend "Dance Magic Dance". You got me there. But please, there is no junk food here. If you have all these movies though, perhaps we agree more than I thought. Nice to meet you.
-
I'm convinced they're just doing everything in their power to make this not look like it stars U.S. soldiers. The Baroness actually looks like she should. It's just, everyone in this rubber/plastic Batman armor is aggravating. They didn't need to match the figures or cartoons exactly. Sure that would be silly, but what's wrong with some camo? I think that armor being worn over some gray, olive drab or camo would look cool, too. But honestly, what things look like don't bother me too much. It's the story and the writing I'm concerned about. Too many people were worried about what the Transformer designs looked like, and forgot to worry about them not writing a shitty movie.
-
I knew Willow would be the movie to get trashed from my collection. It always is- I consider it the worlds most underated movie. To me, if you truly love Star Wars, I can't understand why you would hate Willow- it was written and filmed in the same spirit. Oh and no, I wasn't talking about Pan's Labyrinth, although I do like that movie- I just don't really want to watch it a second time for some reason. Trust me, I am very comfortable right now with Guillermo Del Toro directing The Hobbit. I pray he does a good job. Directing it just like Pan's Labyrinth won't be good enough I'm afraid.

If any of you had any hope that Sommers just might make a good movie, I know these pics will bring you back to earth.
Fuck. This movie looks dumber and dumber.
This should be called GI BLOW. That way, Sommers can screw it up as much as he wants to, and he won't be crapping over the fanbase.
Just like TRANSFORMERS should have been called MICHAELBAYBOTS.
Dumb ass Hollywood.
At least IRONMAN will rock. -
Thanks!

some Edward G. Robinson films in there.

...Van Helsing was fuckin' clown shoes and thus far I've seen no indication this movie will be any better than TRANSFORMERS. Which, yes kids, DID SUCK! BUT...I still own it.All this talk about PRISTINE COLLECTIONS!?!? What the fuck...dudes, I've got Night of the Comet, The Justice League TV movie...and a TON of crap in my collection. I've got Transformers too....but I've also got citizen kane, the Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Seven Samurai.....SO YEAH.

I haven't seen all of the movies you listed, probably less than half of those. But the ones I have seen, I agree with you on, and I have a lot of those too. In any case, you seem to have pretty solid taste in movies too. There is nothing in your list that I can criticize, except maybe "300" althouth I am just splitting hairs at that point. And yeah, there are a ton of great animated movies I left out- certainly those Miyazaki movies and more belong there.
-
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a fine film, but far from Eastwood's best work in that genre. I'd have to go with Unforgiven there.
-
...BIG TIME!! Transformers I will NEVER watch the whole way through again...NEVER! It will be fast forwarded to certain scenes. On a similar note, tried to watch a DVD screener of CLOVERFIELD (saw it twice in theaters) and found myself doing the same thing...not really caring about the characters and f-forwarding to the "good stuff"....to me that's the teller of a staying movie.
-
I'm copying your list and I am going to watch the ones I haven't seen. You seem to know whats up.
-
Ditch the GIJoe movie, dump quaid, put in sam jackson and what do you have..Nick Fury and the agents of SHIELD.Shit if they can't do a Joe Movie justice, might as well revamp and recycle the entire project.Oh and Stormy can always be preston's successor if there were to be a sequel to Equilibrium.That being said, back to reality.......
-
You also need a bit more film noir in your diet. It's like fiber.
-
that's true, but I have some film Noir there in my list. Blade Runner, Sin City, Coen movies. I get my fiber.
-
Pick up White Heat (from 1949). You'll thank me for it.
-
Faaaat corporate cock! I need to down a bottle of Quervo before I can stomach what Cobra Commander and that bunch will look like. Lemme take a wild fucknig guess here, the color of the Cora uniforms will be.....*drum role*...black? Blue is jsut so unpracticle on wont work on screen visually right? Jesus if I have to hear that goddamn excuse one more time! Fuck why dont they just give Destro that gay ass plastic looking Doom mask from that fucked up unmetionable FF garbage?If its not already being auctioned off on eBay haha. And is it me or does the baroness still look like she's in fucking high school? *sigh* when will they learn. Hollywood needs an enima.......
-
these girls don't look like they will beable to do little more then make me aroused. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
-
Though I love them all. You still aren't getting enough fiber!! Pick up "Out of the Past" and "Double Indemnity".

Stay off the junkfood, especially if you know how to eat well. You'll spoil your appetite, and we only have so many meals before we die. I loved my Transformers growing up, I wanted to see someone make a movie where they were completely real, and I never really cared for the cartoon, just the toys. That movie was complete TINO. Those were not my transformers, it might as well have been GoBots. Screw that shit, I'm not watching scrap metal running around punching other scrap metal. And this GI Joe is not GI Joe, screw that shit too. You seem to know better, stay away from that crap- it's poison.
-
thank God they lost the LAME A$$-please shot me first- outfits that the toys had....the filmakers tried instead to give them clothes that might actually be functional...

I got friends here at work that have generally good taste, but also like Bayformers. I guess nobody is perfect:) But mark my words, Transformers continues Michael Bays perfect streak of terrible movies. He never made a good movie before, and he will never make a good movie in the future. We know this of Stephen Sommers as well.

I want to believe that you will

glued onto your suit Joe?"
Joe: "That my armor"
ThePilgrim shoots Joe in the chest. Joe falls down dead.
Me: "Looks like Rubber doesn't stop bullets" -
Because, if a costume looks good on one person, it's automatically the best costume for everyone else too, right?Even the X-Men films figured that out as they went along. Those ridiculous suits from the first movie disappeared pretty quickly.I'm not saying we need yellow spandex. But a little variety, imagination, something vaguely resembling something that almost looks halfway colorful? Is olive green out this season?

Are you joking? That happened weeks ago

Looks like the costume designer must be a refugee from Broadway.

as long as they don't look like the people on cosplay sites, thats fine.

Still wondering how Scarlet's tit armor fits her perfectly. I mean how do you explain that... Fuck this movie!!! It's too Black for me.
Yellow and blue could have worked for the X-Men, but they gave the film too an S&M gay guy. Then you got the Wachowski Bro/Sis and they're black shiny leather bullshit bullshit , and then Nolan and his Batman needs a suit of armor that looks like pads glued too spandex... Fuck this black and armor plate trend. I can't believe how unsexy the Baroness looks. Fuck you who ever you are behind this. The Baroness doesn't dress like that, and she wears glasses! Not shades! Weres the cobra on her chest- oh thats right no cobra in this movie- it's a prequel too those events!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ! -
..Snake Eyes has a mouth?!? buahahahahahahahahahha! that's like having Spiderman's mask not covering the bottom half of his face.I assume Snake will have speaking dialogue. why else would his mouth be open? unless it's for Ray to puke after filming this mess of a movie.
-
about Shitwreck's parrot -"Whose feet break off a week after you take him out of the box." So fuckin' true!

IS that blonde chick supposed to be?
-
you listed the fountain twice...and for that, I love you (do you own 2 copies??) I actually own three...long story, well not really, bought the regular DVD, then the HD-DVD which didn't work in my xbox 360 hd add-on, got tired of waiting for a replacement copy to come from warner home video (which never came by the way, those fuckers) so I bought the blu ray once I had gotten a PS3
-
anyone need an HD or standard copy of the fountain?
-
I just noticed Snake Eyes' mouth too. What genius came up with that idea?
-
then I'm the fuckin' pope.
That said, Scarlett does look hot. Who's the blonde supposed to be? Cover Girl or Lady Jaye? I agree with whoever said all these suits look like Batman leftovers. Everyone's in black rubber with foam latex muscles. The comic had more color. In the uniforms, I mean. They weren't so damn homogenized. Or should I say HOMO genized -
Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe these aren't the actual costumes these guys will wear for the whole film? I have to imagine these photos were taken aroudn the same time, so maybe, just maybe, these black outfits are a "special ops" outfit they wear for a certain action-oriented component of the movie. Stop spitting so much "know-it-all" venom over something you have very little context for.
-
So does that mean he has a black helmet and visor, and then the rest of his face and chin is painted black? There is no reason for Snake Eyes to have an exposed mouth, he's mute for fuck's sake.
-
Storm Shadow is an Emo. I'm not an expert on Martial arts but won't that ridiculous floppy fringe, y'know, get in the way when his trying to kick some ass? Isn't that why martial artists traditionally have shaved heads? Snake Eyes looks spot on and the baroness looks Ok too. Black leather body armour is such a creative cop out though.
-
Mosquito you called it dude. The chick that plays Cover girl DOES look like Napolean Dynamite. WTF?!? out of all the hot actresses in Hollywood they chose this tranny looking bitch?As much as I can't stand Olivia Munn, she looks more like Baroness than Miller who should have played CG instead.All of the sudden Halle Berry's casting as Storm was'nt bad after all. First Marlon,then Chatum,followed by the tranny and Miller and now Dennis "I'm too old for this shit" Quaid as Hawk?Fuck this shit!! GIJoe has got to go.
-
That red haired chick? Fake long red hair, what a turn on. For some reason, most natural red hair chicks are kinda of nasty, like Julian Moore.
-
I don't claim to be a "know it all" but I did read the comic when it came out, yes first came out, and I just happen to know what these cats are s'posed ta look like. If they're all in black, call it Delta Force, call it Navy Seals, but it ain't GI Joe.

you keep fighting the good fight, but I doubt these are alternate uniforms and if so, it does not explain Snake Eyes gaping mouth.

snake eyes v2 had a mouth

I am not going to judge the whole movie by the costumes (which I dont have a problem with). I will wait to actually see some footage from the movie or the movie its self. I dont expect some brilliant movie, its GIJOE I expect a popcorn action flick.
-
Maybe that means he won't be mute in the movie.
-
that kind of sounds logic doesn't always float so well here.
-
Sorry I will try better next time.
-
Just like the Transformers movie, a studio sees an opportunity to seize cash from nostalgic adults and a general audience who will recognize the name "GI Joe". I can't say it's necessarily a GI Joe I recognize either, but people getting so apeshit over costumes and knowing nothing about how they fit into the greater context of the movie is just stupid.
-
WHY IS IT PAINTED BLACK? I mean, if you're gonna give the guy a mouth for some reason, why paint it to match the rest of the outfit? Shouldn't you just, ya know, COVER IT, if you don't want it to stand out?
-
moulded upper body and cargo pants?? isnt he supposed to be kinda tall? whats with the "gi joe" print on the camo??? are taking this film at all seriously??? fucking wearing jammies!

Some fuckers tricked us into thinking that Snake Eyes didn't have a mouth. I wonder how cool everyone would have thought that original Snake Eyes pic was if they new the truth.

Why does Snake Eyes have a mouth on his mask? It reminds me of the original Power Ranger's masks.

or something, why is snake eyes wearing pants?

Ah, whatever. I don't know why they couldn't go with the characters as they were and let them wear shorts, Hawaiian shirts, football jerseys, or Village People vests so they can show off the tattoos they got while in the Marine Corps. All black uniforms for an elite commando strike force is just silly...
-
You mean: who is the actress playing her? or, more metaphysically, "who" is she? (i.e. what's her backstory)
-
... the red emblems on his costume. What the fuck were these filmmaker's thinking? These should be colored black... black's the only color that looks halfway decent on film. Idiots.

multi-colors will make the cgi stunts look fake. Or they just like gay costumes.

is she so prominent here?

This will satisfy any possible Baroness fantasies since Olivia Munn has not shown us her cans.

Remember snake eyes? Yea, basically the same costume on all of the actors. Except for Hawk. Oh and they all were wearing white camo-pants with "G.I. JOE" imprinted in the camo. Pretty lame.

That was kind of cool. So was the motorcycle with the chaingun sidecar. The Cobra battle armor was pretty lame though. And don't mention Slaughter. When he joined, GI Joe was dead to me. Even lamer than bringing in William Perry...
-
Even if he didn't have the swivel arm battle grip. He didn't have a sword though. That's why he isn't as cool as the other version.

You sound like Chris Crocker. Shut up. You keep complaining that we don't know what to expect from this movie. Those of us complaining about how this movie is shaping up to be know a whole lot more than you do. We know who Stephen Sommers is, and what his previous movies have been like, and we are not really suprised by the costumes we see here, those visuals are in lockstep with all of Stephen Sommers other horrible directing decisions. Quit crying Puddlegum about leaving Stephen Sommers alone. Let him blow his head off, and then let him die.
-
I don't know who Chris Crocker is, but perhaps you need to go back to grade school and touch up your reading comprehension skills because nowhere in my post did I say a DAMN thing about defending Stephen Sommers or specifically defending his crappy Mummy or Van Helshitting movies. You need to stop being so defensive about anyone who tries to introduce REASON into a talkback instead of just crying about how "bad" things look over and over and just accept that some people aren't inclined to make snap decisions and judge a book by its cover just because "groupies" who think they know everything about an old toy line say "it sucks."

What makes Baroness and Scarlett look any different?
-
But we can't have glasses in Hollywood, so they give her sunglasses to wear in a scene or two.
-
That's right, boys. Sienna Miller (AKA Baroness from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie)-totally, totally nude from every angle. http://tinyurl.com/6g8k3b
-
All I am saying is that it is pointless to be "openminded" about a Stephen Sommers movie. You act like it's possible that he is going to make a good movie someday, and that if we all be open minded it just might happen. I know that the sun is going to rise and set tommorow, I know that Britney Spears is going to blow her brains out pretty soon, and I know that Stephen Sommers is going to deliver another Van Helsing and Mummy. There is little point in being open minded for him. I'll be open for a brand new director who I know nothing about, not someone who has shown his true colors with a well documented track record. This movie will be garbage.
-
but Buzz would still have to be all-black.
-
I'm a freakishly loyal G.I. Joe fan. Comics. Cartoons. Toys. My two year old son knows the G.I. Joe theme.
And I fully support what images we've seen thus far. I'm sure these characters aren't going to be in those black suits more than 25% of the film. I'm sure they are mission suits.
Beyond that, TBers NEED to understand that there has to be some gray area when adapting a comic/cartoon into a real world medium. You can't have direct design adaptations... they just wouldn't work. The original Transformers designs WOULD NOT have worked. The original Joe designs, WOULD NOT work either. They would be far too campy. While I hope that the movie does manage to work in some SUBTLE nods to those character designs in various sequences, I honestly wouldn't want direct adaptations, regardless of how attached I am to the source material. Why don't some of you get that?
Snake Eyes is EXACTLY how he should be... and because his character design was basically an amped up version of a ninja suit, it works in the real world. The Baroness' pic is almost spot on. Storm Shadow's is a good design inspired by the source material but thankfully changed. And who's to say that we won't see him in his original white ninja suit at some time in the film?
If any of these pics is the defining source material version, Quaid's Hawk is the closest as far as looking like a G.I. Joe cartoon/comic character... and I have to say, it's the weakest because it is borderline campy. THAT is why the other designs work. .. because they mesh well in the real world setting. Those outfits look like covert suits for a special mission force like the Joes.
And again, they aren't going to be in that suit throughout a majority of the movie... much like the X-Men weren't in their black suits that much.
So take a breath, relax. Regardless, you've all pretty much decided that you're going to hate the movie. Based off of a frickin' small collection of images. The script has a lot of great buzz around it (see Latino Review) with a great writer attached. Director-wise, yeah, Stephen Sommers made Van Helsing... but Steven Spielberg made 1941, Francis Ford Coppola made Jack, Irvin Kershner (Empire Strikes Back) made Robocop 2, etc. etc. etc.
I'm not expecting a masterpiece. I'm not expecting this film to be an instant classic. If you love and are so connected to the source material, then let's be honest, you should expect a campy flick with cheesy dialog and plot lines (Although the cartoon actually had some great plots here and there) like the original cartoon.
I just want a fun and entertaining ride as long as they stay true to the general premise: G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly trained, special mission force. Its purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. And yeah, that was from memory;)
-
I get your point. And while I don't ever expect Sommers to make a decent movie, my point was about people here making snap judgements over every little thing just because it's different from what they want. Is this movie going to be any good? I guess it depends on how you define "good." Will it be any better than Sommers' other crapfests, probably not. I know it. You seem to know it. The difference between me and these other mooks yelling about it is that I can see it for what it is and move on instead of obesessing about it in a Talkback. Peace

the reason hollywood doesn't make movies with outfits by the village people is they want to at least break even. not get laughed into a job at burger king.

with a mouth? What kind of freakishly loyal Joe fan are you to defend that nonsense? I understand from another post here that there was some later version of the S-E figure in which he had an exposed mouth, but that's certainly not how the first three action figures were. Not how he was in the comics or the show.

But you need to understand where GI Joe fans are coming from. And I wasn't even a huge GI Joe fan when I was a kid, I barely had any of them, I was more of a Transformers kid. But when it comes to things like GI Joe and Transformers, the ONLY thing that really matters to us about those characters is what they look like. What they looked like was what sold the toys. So when a hollywood director tries to make a movie about these properties, then he better put the attention on the only thing that mattered with these particular licenses- what they look like. The ONLY reason anyone cared about Storm Shadow was basically what he looked like. Once you change that- then what in the hell do any of us care about this movie anymore? And for "Moto", he NEEDS to understand that movies dont need to make everyone black all the time in order to make them not look silly. There is no art direction and design here, just cowardice. They just took the easiest design method which is almost to have no design. All of us GI Joe and Transformer fans know something instinctively, we loved those toys purely on how they looked, and pretty much nothing else. Then it was just fun to watch these cool characters running around on tv for a while. As it is, those directors seem to think that the only thing that we care about are the NAMES of the characters. And everything else can go to hell. Just wait to see what he does to one of the most interestingly designed antagonists of all time Cobra Commander- I swear Stephen Sommers will destroy him too.
-
thank ya very much.
-
Damn you, Michael Bay!
-
Holy fucking Neon! Good thing they didn't choose those outfits. It would be like Batman and Robin.
-
I don't mind the suits, it'd be nice if they had the hawiian shirts in the timeoff parts of the movie, but I wonder if having guys team up in different outfits and fight some guy in a big lizardy outfit screaming cobralalalalalalala! is to "street fighter: the movie"to me. not that I wouldn't enjoy it but I'd prefer something more metal gear. but too each their own, brotha.
-
why give a character like that molded lips on a mask? A tiki mask sure? A military fighter, though?

They should at least be able to get that one right. He only wore a blue hood most of the time.

You know why Iron Man looks good and this looks bad?
by mayorofsimpleton
Because Iron Man looks like Iron Man. Why is that so hard for Hollywood to understand?
-
regarding gi joe THE MOVIE: G.I Joe is NOT transformers! Transformers was a cartoon..period (the comics were incidental). please ignore the GI Joe cartoon as a reference for this film..it was a kids show and should have nothing to do with this movie in any way. This film should be based firmly on the marvel comics around issues 1-50 (15-45 would be ideal). They had great stories..cool charaters, really great plots and were much more mature than the tv show (bullets NOT lasers! characters died). The show was fun for a 12 year old, the comics were much more than that. This film need to be played as a STRAIGHT and serious millitary soap-opera drama, not as a cartoony haha joke. If you are using the cartoon show as reference material AT ALL...your movie will be fucking doomed. now you know...(oh and please dont put in that goddamned quote either....its not clever, it cartoon-referencial cutsie crap that will suck everyone out of the film). if you want to update to desert storm vets instead of nam vets...well, dumb choice, but fine. But play this fucker straight. make a good film and treat the source material with respect it deserves.
-
Too much blue KKK for today's generation. It will be the visor or battlesuit. Worst case scenario, its just JGL in a three piece suit making shady deals with Destro, who is just Arnold Vosloo in a business suit. Storm shadow looks like he's ready for the prom though.

Yeah, that makes it even worse.

Unlike the cartoon, there will be many deaths in this...

I totally agree with you and thats what I said when his casting was announced in this. Kinda sad though. I was asking what the hell happened to the guy to come off that amazing performance and end up bombing so badly after (artistically). He could of certainly gone on to bigger and better things but instead... he did Dungeons and Dragons, the Scary Movie Films, and White Chicks. I reckon his family screwed him over.
-
lots and lots? okay, I won't "defend" metal gear, but it seems they are wanting to go for a 'real' world. if you saw cell phone images a black guy in a sailor suit and a man who looks like ahab toting a machingun on the internet rescuing some trapped soldiers from an irag enclave, you'd wonder what the fuck was going on, not that if they were wearing the outfits they have now, you also wouldn't wonder what the fuck was going on. they could have pleased more people with slightly futuristic army outfits, maybe customised slightly for personal taste.
-
Sorry but I can agree with all the backlash about the costumes but I don't think Baroness girl can ever be considered unfuckable and fugly. Have you seen her nude pics? http://tinyurl.com/6g8k3b

There were some really genuinely awesome things that were thrown away when they made Transformers. Like the theme music, for one. I just hate to see them re-invent the wheel when they already have something really cool to work with.

it's people like you one who clearly tolerate (and presumably pay for) shitty filmmaking that allows hollywood to continue to churn out mediocre products. Ratner & p.w.s.a. both make garbage films...Apatow makes good films..if you dont know the difference you have no business talking about film.
-
still waiting for c.o.p.s. the movie. and iron man doesn't look much like iron man has in the last 30 years, only since adi granov came on the scene and made his version of the armor.

Who are you talking about when you say a black guy in a sailor suit?
-
yaaaawn. it was a bore masqerading as a fun action pic. With sommers directing, fixing the costumes here is like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
-
Holy shit I forgot all about that cartoon. I would suggest Inhumanoids, but Cloverfield already happened. How about Ghostbusters...the one with the gorilla? How the fuck did they not get sued back then?
-
I think that was a TV series that was very, very old and they just showed reruns...unless you are talking about a cartoon that I don't know of.

http://tinyurl.com/3he8k2 or direct link:http://www.worstpreviews.com/media.php?id=1039&place=shots

Because The Ghostbusters with the Gorilla was actually the license that could've sued the Ghostbusters you are talking about. Look it up on Wikipedia. And I'm not saying our Ghostbusters wasn't great, it just wasn't the first to use the term "Ghostbusters"
-
if you're referring to my comment, i simply meant that transformers was "only" a cartoon...in other words, if you were to make a transformers film, the cartoon would be (and shoould be) your only reference point. But for gi joe the cartoon was only one part of it. and im just saying that in this case the cartoon should not be used for reference since it was basically a kids show with little depth and little to do with the original (and infinitely more interesting and mature) marvel comic books.
-
This Baroness looks like a spoiled daddy's girl that grew up and made it a point to try and take over the world just in order to rebel against her parents.
-
but hey should add the "smurfs" logo all over their little white smurfy pants.
-
Apparently Ivan Reitman had to get permission to use the name for the film that became more popular...hence the cartoon had to be called "The Real Ghostbusters" as the "Ghostbusters" live action series and cartoon predated it. Here I thought it was a ripoff. I just wiki'd it.
-
??? I don't recall saying that, so I don't know where you pulled that one down out of. And he may be a flash in the pan like a lot of young actors. IMO he doesn't bring anything to his roles, other than being dragged along like a little, lost, retard puppy. Happened in TINO and looks to happen in Indy 4.
-
I never read the GI Joe comics, but basing everything in this movie on those comics instead of the cartoon sounds good to me. But as we can see- that is clearly not what we are going to get. Anyway, you interested me enough in the comics that I am going to seek those out. If they were so much better than the cartoon, I am excited to read a good GI Joe story.
-
Actually that was just some movie trivia I knew. But I am glad to see that you got your answer from the website for which the internet was created. Wikipedia knows ALL. It is my Oracle.
-
well dont get me wrong..it helps to be 12 when youre reading them...and the first 20 are good...but i highly recommend reading all the 20's 30's and 40's...really good stuff. issues 26&27 are good snake eyes back story.
-
I have the ability to view stories through the eyes of a 12 year old. At least I like to think I do.
-
but yeah the comics are nothing like the cartoon. back issues aren't too expensive, and im not sure but reprint multi-issue book may have been produced. but if you're at all into gi joe and have not read the comics...read em! and i mean the old 80's marvel ones...though the new 'devils due publishing' stuff started out pretty good. but read those after. i heard that there's a file share available of ALL the marvels.
-
according to CHUD.com
-
Okay - all the excitement I had after seeing the first Snake Eyes pic is now shot to absolute hell. This just looks awful. Way to go Stephen. Why is it so difficult for studios/directors/producers to stick to the source material? Another great potential flick flushed down the cinema crapper.
-
Worst. Marvel. Character. Ever. Including. Howard. The. Duck.

Sweeet. But it looks like we may have to put up with a Wonder Woman movie- and we all know how well female driven superhero movies perform.
-
No one cares. If this movie tanks it won't be because it's based on a cartoon or a comic but because no one is interested in mining their nostalgic youth anymore. It is just a comic and just a cartoon and just a toy and if the movie sucks, I'm sure you're continue to live a happy and fulfilling life.
-
If someone already mentioned in these 500+ posts, i missed it, but of the Cobra people we've seen (Baroness and Storm Shadow) neither costume has the Cobra emblem/logo/insignia...wtf?? p.s.

The Cobra emblem wouldn't be appropriate when Storm Shadow is all dressed up for the prom like that. It wouldn't be politically correct.

And to say they are going for the realistic look is crazy. Show me one vest or armor protection that looks like that.
This isn't changing models of cars for a live adaptation because the 80s cars are no longer stylish, and you having an exclusive contract. This is uffing up some plain clothes for no purpose whatsoever. -

And now you guys have to go through what us the Transformers fans have gone through: You have to suffer month after month watching what could have been one of the greatest live action spectacles of your childhood crushed by a director so inept that it insults your intelligence just looking at the released photos. They knew what they were doing when they posted Snake Eyes because what they had after that killed any momentum or faith anyone had in this film.
I feel really bad for fans of both Transformers and GI Joe as they're gonna need some serious therapy after this. But me all I can say is FUCK MICHAEL BAY!!! and now FUCK STEPHEN SOMMERS!!! Our childhoods are officially dead ladies and gentlemen. The question is, why do you let this shit continue? Take back your childhood by not seeing this garbage or if you have to see it, fuckin' download it so they lose money and have to listen to you. Hey, at least you're not killing people and blowing up buildings. You're telling them I don't want to see this shit and if you fuck with us again, you motherfuckers are out of a job. -

The cbr's on fileshare or torrent of the original comics aren't worth the download -- they were scanned years before the scanners had the hardware, bandwidth, and commitment to quality that they do now, so the scans/cbrs are poor poor quality. The scans of the newer DDP Joes are quality though.

-
You all know this is gonna be shit right? Don't just sit there and accept it. Fucking do something about it like V for Vendetta. Damn.
-
Herb, I hated the Mummy 2 as much (or more) than the next guy, but audiences welcomed it plenty. It had a HUGE record-breaking opening weekend, and went on to make a ton o' cash.
-
This is a horrifying travesty. When this project was announced, all I could think about was the possibility of a lean, mean group of soldiers like Schwarzenegger's team from "Predator."
I just saw it as being realistic, raw and real. I pictured Dennis Quaid in a beret, sure, but I thought he'd be in the sweet general's uniform with decorated ribbons and honorary medals... Duke with his trademark battle-worn browns...a 9mm and a big belt with a bunch of pouches for his grenades and stuff. I just wanted it to feel real.
Instead we're getting Street Fighter. -
I remember when the photo of Scarlet came out, Harry was like: "Look! She's got her crossbow, her red hair, and her figure! Giggle Giggle, it will work! You'll seeeeee!"Come on man! You have to know this sucks, and don't give us that "well I never watched the cartoon" crap either you or Merrick pulled with Transformers. You have to admit, you guys are taking a "say something nice, or don't say anything at all" approach.
-
The costumes are all shite!
-
the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite.
*chuckle* -
OK, so the costumes are pretty "meh." What's strange is how there are elements they got right, but then took it in an oh-so-wrong direction. Bizarre. Anyway, just go for an R rating, make it ultra-violent, let us see Scarlett's titties and a lesbian lip-lock between Scarlett and the Baroness, and the costumes will be forgiveable.
-
(spelling errors aside)
-
But wow. SnakeEyes bottom half doesn't belong with the top half! Pants??... And he was the best one too. These are horrible. I don't know who the blonde is and I want to punch wigger Duke and Marlon Wayans in the face and the Barroness o man ugggh. There not even cool looking glasses! I've seen better looking Baroness costumes online where people made them just for fun not to be used in a big budget movie. Hawk (is that the guy playing him? I have no clue?) He looks so retarded. Hahah. I knew they were gonna go with that queer overrated black leather Matrix fetish shit but DAMN even if they were going for that I've seen it done better. Just awful. I mean Storm Shadow is so boring. They all look like wieners.
-
I just noticed Storm Shadows shoes. OK. I have to stop looking at these or the stupidity will kill me. I hope this bombs. I don't even want to hear about a sequel.
-
hey uh..steve sommers. This isnt the fucking military. This isnt the dudes in Iraq. This is fucking GI JOE. Real American Heroes. Who wear their personalities and street clothes into battle and dont care if they wearing a sailor suit in the desert, a jersey in the jungle, or a chrome mask. Get with the program.
and you better put Zartan in there too. -
destroys his entire look. everything is pretty much spot-on 'til you get to those horrendous cargo pants. why couldn't his legs be covered in the same material as his torso? what, does Ray Park have legs like a ninny-boy? oh lemme guess... if you don't throw a pair of ugly ass, walmart bonus-buy cargo pants on him, the audience won't be able to make the connection that he is a Joe; ultimately mistaking him for the enemy. makes sense, yes?
-
Storm Shadow's shoes? The Dennis Quaid "look tough" look? Was that blonde bitch supposed to be Cover Girl? WTF!!! Nobody go see this, maybe it will dissapear like the new Planet of The Apes did.
-
THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING REAL WORLD!! stop trying to design these guys as if they were going to war six days from now. it's GI JOE. their unique (and sometimes kooky) uniforms were an extension of their personalities/personas. we knew Shipwreck was a sailor because -gasp- he dressed like one. i'm guessing that's why THEY CALLED HIS ASS SHIPWRECK. Alpine was a mountain trooper who wore that damned backpack and rope whether he was actually near a mountain or in the flat plains of the Sahara. either way, it didn't matter... his name was Alpine, and he was going to climb something, god damnit! the point i'm trying to make is, don't make these GI Joe characters in name only (GIJCINO?)... because right now, you could call this shit X4 and not miss a beat.
-
I had to break away for a little while to watch the Ruins.
-
the one for the first X-Men pics? Sound exactly alike, and turns out people didn't really mind those costumes being drastically altered.
Having said that, yes, it would be nice if everything looked exactly like we want, but to be realistic, some shit works in a cartoon that won't work on the big-screen. I'm willing to wait to see a trailer before I cry out for the filmmakers to be castrated. Just sayin'. -
Couldn't agree more.
-
I think it should be obvious to everybody that these pictures are just showing the characters in their everyday per-GI Joe uniforms, and when they join the team they all get Queer Eye makeovers and end up getting the classic costumes. Oh yeah, and the laser rifles.
Oh yeah again, if everybody on the team has laser rifles, doesn't that make Flash pretty worthless? -
Your hopes are valid, but dream on brother, dream on...
-
It probably will have no effect, but it made me feel a little better.
http://www.petitiononline.com/Joerules/petition.html -
Hellz yeah, Qauid's part as the Prez' bodygaurd in Vantage point is more 'dignified' than those cheesy ass stills(with constipated smirk, not the swivel arm battle grip).I can imagine how the rest of the movie will turn out..on second thought, I don't have to imagine.Damn Even Paul WS Anderson is laughing at this shit.
-
As that commercial goes: "is it the shoes"? The prom comment was a good one, yes.
-
at least...
-
And Grand Slam had a bigger laser. I guess Flash just got served...
-
I always thought Flash was just dressing up to play catcher in the annual GI Joe softball game...
-
I've never seen a Sommer's movie, but someday I plan to watch this one on my computer with the assistance of people that used to be on MST3K.

Is the reason you F-WORD's have a job right now. Why don't you learn what works about the source, instead of spending all your creative budget figuring out what you can twist it into, to sell junk to today's kids. Think of stuff to sell to us, we have our own money now!Ask yourself what made it stick with people for this long (you know, like decades).Come on, there are some pretty BROAD STROKES that you guys really shrugged off. This is fucking terrible.The 80's cartoon series was the master stroke of the IP. Everything that has come after has been derivative.Some of us used to daydream about a live action GI:Joe film when we were kids, and now that the box office results from Transformers are gold, you finally make the movie. But, you predictably craft something that panders to the lowest common denominator because you don't have any faith in the vetted design. You miss the point.For example, the Baroness was hot, but not just because of her figure. You put her in the Emma Peel ripoff suit, like that was good enough. You totally missed the point. Her glasses gave her this teacher from hell, smart lady vibe that you guys just threw away. You gave it up, because you don't get it. You're like "Oh boy, men! Glasses, they just aren't on MTV these days! LOSE EM!"Someday somebody is going to do things right, with heart, and put all of you out of work. Peace!
-
Yeah. You're right about Snake Eyes. They totally rolled him out first, to get the "Street Cred". But all that turned to shit in my mouth when I saw the other costumes. He works for them cause he's all black, but now it's ruined because everyone's all in black now. They have a word for it, and it's called mystique. He had it before, but I think they drowned it out now, with everyone decked out now in all black.
-
You know the camouflage pattern the cast is sporting? You know, with the GI Joe MOTION PICTURE FUCKING LOGO PRINTED IN THE FUCKING PATTERN?!It looks like FUCKING BEDSHEETS! Heh.
-
I assume that the stupid name isn't just there as a formality? I was never into that childish army shit as a kid. I mean, if you want to play army, get yourself whipped by a drill sarge and watch your friends get blown up. Maybe rape a few villagers...
In any case, this looks absolutely stupid. Sounds stupid, will be stupid. Bring on a good adaptation of something good, instead of just GI Joe and the fucking Go-bots. No wonder these end up badly, you stupid fanboys don't like anything good.Transformers was good for kicks and giggles. -
There is no way to do GI JOE today without making fun of it. It should play out like a PG-13 version of STARSHIP TROOPERS -- a brutally hilarious satire of failed US foreign policy, jingoism, and nascent fascism. LIke, maybe at the end you find out that Cobra is funded by Halliburton or something.
-
The "It made money so it must be great" is a dumbass argument that only a dumbass would make. It's the last refuge of the inbred jackass who desperately looks for ANYTHING they can use to defend the indefensible. Independence Day made a TON of money and made Will Smith a blockbuster superstar. But do you see any sequels being made, you ignorant fuckhead? Batman and Robin "made money" and GASP! WB put the series on ice until they could remake it, and sure as hell wasn't in the mold of the Shumaker 300-mil plus B&R. Stop sucking Lorenzo Dumb-aventura's dick long enough to realise that people wit a 3-year old mentality like you will watch anything regardless of quality. THEN you can come back here and toss insults. Transformers was pure shit, even the assholes who made excuses for it are terrified to show their faces--without creating new screenames for themselves first! G.I Joe is getting screwed up the same way Bayformers was, but with a hack director, a producer who has open contempt for the source material, and braindead morons like Silkboxr who drool on themselves as they cheer for more crap, how could we expect any other outcome?

All hope for a cool live-action version of my childhood cartoon
by creasybear
First, Steven Sommers. Now these lame-ass uniforms. At best, this will be like Transformers: watch it once to see the cheesy spectacle of it all, but never even consider buying it on DVD for a rewatch.
-
Everything but Snake Eyes is far too gay for words. Gayer than Dr. Mindbender's cartoon costume and that is saying something. All for gay equal rights but can we at least keep the over the top flaming ones and Joel Schumaker away from our genre films art departments??? I know it sounds bad but really I've had enough.
-
btw all this photos looks ridicoulos!!!
-
Put Michael Bay on this project immediately... oh god I feel dirty.
They don't get it. Why does General Hawk look like Flint?
As for Scarlet, while I am a great supporter of perky boobs... they are a bit silly in combat, even if they are part of a plastic body suit.
Cover Girl looks more at home at New York Fashion week than on the front line against the war on terror.
Chicks can be bad ass - Looks at ALIENS or the reenvisioned BSG... those chicks kick but.
Also, the bottom half of Snake Eyes destroys the good job they did on the upper half.
The guys look like extras from Starship Troopers (that's not intended as a compliment).
Instead of making the stylized comic versions of the characters more realistic, they have gone in the opposite direction.
-
This movie just aint looking good..........Its He-Man all over again.
-
these costumes are tests of molds before they painted the costumes to look like the actual characters, but I know this is a film all about killing hope. Stormshadow looks like the weird asian kid from high school at the prom.
-
http://tinyurl.com/6hdsfh Snake Eyes looked great in the first images released. I guess that was just because the first leaked image was so dark. The new images really lose the character!!!! BOOTS??? He should be wearing ninja shoes of some sort. something light. CARGO PANTS AND BELT? I never imagined him wearing something like that. How bout tights more similar to Bat Mans? Or even a manlier version of scarletts?I really hope we don't see Cobra Commander's face in this movie. But i'm sure they will show it. WHY??? They should have known from the start, they should have worked it into the story somehow. Turned it into some sort of twist. Not, "I AM YOUR FATHER" But something. Just keep Cobra Commander in the shadows. Leave us guessing his age, his race. Etc... Don't give us all the back story to everything keep us guessing FFS.

It's turning into what Hip-Hop is now...a bunch of big-budget remakes and NO more creative ideas.

LJ had a more prominent role than Cover Girl albiet the comics or the cartoon's canon.her green jumpsuit was far more convincing than what Cover girl is wearing in this movie. (Joe jammies with the logo? if that aint a gay fashion statement or just a bad example of product placement? i.e. self promotion.) plus Jaye had that cool weapon, a rocket spear of some sort.

I wanted to know the same thing. Apparently, Cover Girl was just a figure that came with a vehicle back in the day. I didn't even know anything about this character.

What does it take to get a new post on this site? I don't think anyone really cares about the Spirit poster. Are you guys listening? We need something new. Come on, there has to be some new cool news.
-
as, by default, this film will be pro-war, the only people who are going to watch it live in Alabama, Texas and certain obscure French villages were they are unhappy with the lack of action the nation has had of late. thus, let's be honest, they can make it however the fuck they want, it is not a movie to interest the majority of us. those shitty 3 hour Polish films will hold a wider appeal.
-
would never get made. HA, well look who's laughing now! Who is this fucker blowing to keep getting work. This is going to flop. People are as excited about this like they would be for getting a colonoscopy. Fuck this shit, more SC drivel.
-
I don't know, because she's pretty dykey and Michelle Rodriguez isn't available? Seriously, she sucked. If LJ was an interesting character she would've actually been used in the comics. Asking for Lady Jaye to be in the movie is like asking for Ripper to be the main villian, and that's just silly.

by ironic_name
to disliking the design, but hey, gentlemen can disagree, and sure, the suits don't scream gijoe, but PERSONALLY I would prefer my army movie dudes to have tactical outfits then going into battle bare chested, or in a native american poncho. but those stealth suits may be in a few action scenes, maybe the other times they will have more personal outfits.
-
FleshMachine, I couldn't agree with you more about sticking to the comic canon. Those comics took my appreciation of GIJoe to levels that nothing else ever approached. They were really sober, somewhat realistic affairs (esp at the age of 12!) that I can still appreciate today at age 27. I was hoping the movies would completely ignore the cartoon in favor of the comic book vibe...but it looks like Summers is gonna ignore BOTH and ass-fuck this like only he can do.
Samus, I will also recommend issues 80-100 as well. The Snake-Eyes Trilogy was a lot of fun at the age of 11 or 12, and the pencils of Mark Bright married to Larry Hama's vision mark the best years of the series IMHO. -
Goddamn you, Sommers...
-
I swear, so many of you people claim to be movie fans, yet all you do is go into these threads and say how much a movie is going to suck, you hate films before they come out. The only true way to judge a film is to see it, but there are so many arrogant idiots on here who think they know more about movies than the rest of us. A movie comes out, you see it, you don't like it, fine. But so many of these so called "fans" have already decided that a movie is going to suck, that even when they do see it, they are going to hate it, because if they wind up liking it they look like dumbasses for saying how it was going to suck, or they have convinced themselves so much that it was gonna suck thats all they see. So many of you call yourselves movie fans, but you are nothing close to it. You hate certain directors, writers, actors, whatever and have preconcieved notions of anything they do instead of giving things chance. I am not in anyway saying that most of the people on AICN are like this, quite the opposite in fact, but it is this small group of idiots that make me sick, and gives movie fans, movie nerds, movie geeks, whatever you call yourself, a bad name.
-
So it's excusable that they don't have their trademark clothing. Hawk's costume is actually pretty damned close, Baroness looks awesome, and Storm Shadow's costume looks like a good cross between traditional and new-tech. It also sheds some light as to where they got Snake Eye's outfit from.
The Origin of Snake Eyes: Pt.1&2 was SO fucking good. The whole thing with the Hardmaster and the Softmaster, and the flashbacks to Vietnam... fucking awesome. Hopefully they keep some of that in there, but with small changes to bring it up to date. -
Serpentor. I almost hate that faggot more than Frank Miller.

When I was about 10 or 11, I was obsessed with G.I. Joe. I saw one of the animated movies and thought that I (a) had to become a Crimson Guard, or (b) had to get a Crimson Guard action figure. Well, my pathetically small town didn't have any--they were last year's news, apparently. Anyway, not long afterwards, I visited my grandparents in another pathetically small town, and my uncle and I were walking past a small little storefront--and there was a Crimson Guard action figure in there. I tried to get my uncle to stop and get it for me, but he refused (probably said we didn't have time--no time to get the crowbar from the truck and pry open his web-choked wallet). I was going to protest, but I faltered. I knew he wouldn't understand that I'd never get a chance to get that figure again, and I left the Crimson Guard in the store. Might still be there. It was a bit of a Wonder Years moment, and I still cry about it every now and then, especially at work.

Was made of DNA of all the best generals! Surely he must be an awesome character!
Was Hitler thrown in there for the hell of it? Can't remember if he made it into Serpentor's soup. -
...a clone created from the DNA of dead actors. I mean, really, who else can play a character made from the DNA of Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Attila the Hun, Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Ivan the Terrible, Vlad the Impaler, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Rasputin, Alexander Hamilton, Solomon and Storm Shadow?

The cargo pants are much more plain and blah than the top half of the costume, but the shoes don't make much sense at all to me. They look clunky, unwieldy, and not very good for ninja-type moves. Are they make-me-look-taller shoes? Seems unnecessary, as there are other ways to do that on film. Puzzling.
-
With the understanding that promo shots like these are always a bit stiff and awkward, I still just don't get any sense of *fun* from these pics. And by fun, I don't mean campy, not taking it seriously fun, but simple *enthusiasm*, devil-may care into-it-ness that separates simple well-crafted dreck from something with character.Everyone here looks like they're more interested in not messing up or looking "un-cool" than they are in kicking ass in what should be a fun movie.In the running debate of "original costumes vs. sensible updates", here's my stance: 1) Unlike, say, X-Men, the original character designs here were not all that outlandish. You could do the "military Village People" thing and just tweak it a bit, tone a few things down if needed, but it would still work. 2) Unlike with, say, X-Men, these characters can become pretty nondescript without visual flair. Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue are still those characters, even in jumpsuits. They can extend claws, shoot lightning, shoot force beams from their eyes, etc. But stick all the Joes in the same costume, and you've got...what looks like a bunch of extras. Or SWAT. Perhaps they really will be given enough personality to stand out as characters while still being uniformed--it worked to perfecton in Aliens, and Predator--but with these mopey-looking actors, I'm skeptical.Is it too late to take Dennis Quaid and Ray Park, scrap everyone else, and start a new movie? Sigh.
-
For many of you, that's the only cool news that counts!

Good call. I forgot about Grand Slam. I don't know if that quilting was meant to imply laserproof -- just could never figure out what the hell the purpose of it were, other than look cool, so I just made it up.
-
You know, if he was a real person he'd probably be posting on AICN:
"Grand Slam was the driver for the "HAL" (Heavy Artillery Laser). Grand Slam received initial training in conventional artillery and served with a 155mm battery. He's soft-spoken and calm, just a bit shy. He's intelligent and loves to read escapist fantasy (science fiction and comic books).
I totally forgot that Grand Slam was badass and punked Major Bludd mano y mano. -
Uh yes we are cynical and at times rightfully so. How often when the studios come up with a "promising" Movie based on a well known franchise, only for it to end up like shit:Superman 3,Batman & Robin,Catwoman,Howard the Duck,Superman Returns,Fantastic Four,Ghost Rider and to a lesser extent Spiderman 3, X-Men 3,Daredevil (although I liked the director's cut.) and Hulk.I known that most of us will never be satisfied, but there are a few execptions to the rule.as for GIJoe, I always hoped for a live action movie to come to light, and now that it's in the works, old skool fans and former collecters such as myself are less than pleased.This does not look like the Joes most of us grew up reading, watching or collecting as kids.There are Cos players that could come up with better outfits than this shit.SS should have just stuck closely to the Comic's concept and design or don't do it at all.They look like goddamn Superheroes than a Special Missions Force.And another thing,GIJoe should always be subtitled: A Real American hero not a fucking Global Joint entity.At this point I'd rather have M.Bay rehash and helm the project.Now you know...

If one is talking about Snake Eyes brand spankin new mouth, it should always be proceded by "that fucking." Fuck that shit. What in the bloody hell is that?

At least 2 white Joes have been ethnically cleansed to appease the PC gods! Breaker is now an Arab, Ripcord is black. I don't give a damn what anyone tells me, that is bullshit. White guys aren't good enough anymore, are they?
-
..Marlon Wayans playing Ripcord or any other Joe.Atleast they could have asted his brother Shaun for the part but then again I would have him billed as Stalker who is a much better character than Ripcord. Ripcord can be played by any white guy, shit give the part to James Mardsen.A Better role than him staring as Lois Lane's Husband in Superman Returns dontcha think?
-
enough with the PC. A colored Ripcord, that'll be the day...

Seriously I don't ever read your comments. Your credibility is lost at that point with me. Can we at least be a tad more original when we are making a point? Or is their unoriginality and the cliche overuse of terminology and fads an answer to my own questions? As I sad I don't read their comments but I probably know what their arguments it's the same song and dance. We already know the premise of the script for this movie. To me the script is maybe 60 percent of what I want to know. We've seen these visuals. These are huge parts of the film. You are supposed to make judgments before the fact. That's why there are previews. I'm pretty sure thats why people vote.
-
I'd say that's why there are debates, so people could make a decision on who they vote for, etc etc. You know before the fact. ;)
-
Look, everybody knows Ray Park is short--putting him in Herman Munster shoes will not change that fact.
-
why the fuck can I see Snake-Eyes' mouth!!!!!!??????
-
..I'll have to change my user name since it may have a negative connotation.OOPS! But seriously, the character (Stalker) is still being used in the comics published by Devil's Due.If the producer's actually felt that way, then that's pedestrian mindedness on their behalf. Ripcord was never an interesting Joe to begin with,but oh wellz.What's amusing was that they were gonna cast rapper/Actor Common for the part of Roadblock but decided to go with Heavy Duty instead played by the guy from OZ and Lost.ummm, okay.
-
then you dont really know g.i. joe at all. g.i. joe is a classic 80's Marvel COMIC...the cartoon was very loosely based on it...they took away bullets, added lazers, made it kid friendly and made shipwreck the lead! Now dont ge me wrong, i was very happy to come home from school and watch it....but the comics are what g.i. joe is all about. if these hollywood motherfucker had any brains (sigh) they woudl understand this and base the movie on the books. unfortunately the douchbags probably thought..hey transformers cartoon made a hit movie maybe the g.i. joe cartoon will too! execpt they likely ingorned that fact that transformers WAS a cartoon...that WAS the source material. the G.I. Joe cartoon was a secondary, kid version of GI joe. but of course it was perhaps more well known (because you know..it was on TV!). And to those of you who say "who cares!"...well take a look at the length of this talkback...we care motherfucker!
