    Actually, I'm going to rant a little more.

    by rev_skarekroe

    The Transformers movie designs were craptacular, it's true, but at least they were IMAGINATIVELY craptacular. These are lazy craptacular. It's like they were designed by marketing people. "They have to be black! Tests show black indicates toughness to the 16-24 year old market. Also, military colors test negative during unpopular wars. The suits also need to be rubber, as the success of The Matrix, X-Men, and Batman Begins show 12% boost in opening weekend grosses for any film with rubber costumes. They should have modular snap-on parts, as "suiting up" scenes rate highly with test audiences in flyover states." Now, I don't feel like my childhood is raped or anything (I just don't care that much about G.I. Joe), but I am offended at the raw stupid hubris of Hollywood.

    Every time I come across these photos I cringe. They just look so stupid. I'm not saying they had to carbon copy the figures/cartoon/comics - but they could have come up with a close but realistic translation of the familiar look of these characters. Hasbro wouldn't go to all this trouble releasing the anniversary (same look updated feel) figures if they weren't convinced that there was deep fan recognition of these iconic images. The movie should have tried to do the same. Way to go Stephen.

    Well, they're all pretty blah, but the test: can they act?

    by kevred

    Realism or not, I just can't look at all-black and see GI Joe. I need to see green. I think Hollywood is losing its ability to film movies in different color palettes--a trend has seeped in where everything is drained of color. (Or maybe they just used it all in Speed Racer and there's none left over.)So, for the most part these look like random extras from Aliens...no, strike that, those actors were distinctive-looking and varied more in age, build, and weren't all models. And, they could act.That'll be the test for this flick. They're failing in 2-D; can they succeed in the next two dimensions?

You're fucking delusional.Black is used for Batman because...GASP...he's dressed in black in the comics. Black was used in the Matrix...and set a trend. The X-Men looked good in their stupid black outfits because a yellow and blue Wolverine with giant head-wings would have been fucking stupid looking. That said, Storm Shadow has fucking tails. That's hilarious. He's got his top-hat, cane, and a pocket full of throwing stars.

    by nerosday

    I always saw Joe as more of a Delta Force style team. The real Delta actually usually wears the standard army uniform, but with tweaks and customizations. They are allowed to go nonstandard, with bike helmets, personalized armor, and kit. That really would've worked great for GI Joe. I don't think the idea of these speed and strength increasing suits fits with the GI joe story, these guys are elite on their own, let them just be bad asses without making them uber men.

    later on in the movie, or else don't fucking bother having him in the movie. He never had a normal head with hair in the comics or cartoon, why have it that way for the movie? So fucking stupid. And I don't recall Storm Shadow dressing in Prada. But whatever.

    What A Terrible Costume Design

    by jim halpert

    These are far worse than the X-Men costumes. At least the X-Men had different powers to differentiate them from the others in the group. Now each of the Joes will look just like Snake Eyes, shooting the same black Uzi laser rifle in the same basic black ensemble.

    by riddleman1674

    Jesus why didn't they just cast Christopher fucking Lambert as Destro while they're busy shitting all over this property!! I mean because he looked sooooo much like Rayden right? Fuck and since we're making all the Joes wear ultra cool "something new and groundbreaking"...*gasp* BLACK FUCKING RUBBER SUITS (because that's never been done before right?).....throw one on Cobra Commnder too! Why the fuck not?? Then we wont be able to tell who's fighting who! My 3 year old nephew could come up with a more creative costume design! If this schlock actually makes money (which sadly it fucking will, due to the thousands of fucking zombie suburban families out there who could give a fuck about the characters or good story telling for that matter) I'm sure later down the line we'll get to see Serpentor as an actual snake, because a man dressed in a snake suit just "wouldn't translate on camera"....well neither does all this shit, you oblivious "got yer dollar goggles on" corporate fuckheads!!!

    when he played Bowser in the Super Mario Bros. abomination. Wasn't Bowser supposed to be some kind of mutant snapping turtle? In that movie he was a damn humanoid man.

    by samus aran

    Read the article surrounding the picture of Duke which aggresively praises the actor and design. The writer descibes "his" childhood love of GI Joe, and is amazed by how these picture bring to life everything "he" imagined. I'm sure "he" immediately recognized Duke when "he" first saw the picture without anyone telling "him". "He" then proceeds to describe the actor as a heart-throb. My heart is not throbbing. Exactly who is this writer speaking to? The millions of female GI Joe fans? Is Hollywood seriously run by such powerful incompetence? Anyway read that article around Duke for a good laugh, or whatever you call it. Actually I feel like Butters when Mrs. Garrison was looking for her penis, my brains are hurting.

    and this is my first time writing. I can not believe that they are going to ruin this movie. This looks worse than if Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter had a celluloid kid. If I see Shipwreck in a black plastic hat i'm definitely not going to see it. I will personally drive from Nevada to Iowa to go dig up all of my buried GI Joes in the backyard of the house I was raised in and incinerate the little plastic heroes and go to therapy to forget that any of it was a real memory! What in the heck are they thinking? I can understand not having Wolverine in the yellow spandex, but this is really a bad idea. Might as well cast Dr. Phil as Dr. Mindbender and give him one of those black plastic suits. Might as well rename the movie M.A.S.H and let the old fogies get pissed off too.

    I remember in 3rd grade we saved up enough UPC's or whatever to get the Sgt. Slaughter figure. My brother and i were so excited to get it, that we made up some dumb song that we sang while we ran home from school everyday to watch the cartoon and check the mail. I swear it took 6 months for the Sarge to get to my mailbox. By that time all we wanted to do was blow him up. I think Sgt Slaughter died as soon as he got out of the box. Anyway, yeah theres been some horrific movies made over the years and some good ones too. But this one just looks like it has little to do with the origins ! I hope Hasbro reads these and either stops the movie or make it better. I would just prefer to see a new episode of the cartoon if anything.

    by codymr

    So I get that you can't make a movie version of a character exactly the same as the cartoon/comic/action figure... Batman, XMen, Tranformers etc all took their liberties for the celluliod version... But other than the Snake Eyes pics that showed up a month or so ago, these look TERRIBLE. Yes GI JOE is supposed to be high tech, but this looks NOTHING like the little plastic characters I played with as a kid - Not even is spirit. Why not do a serious version of the campy 80's toon? And, assuming they are going to eventually put Destro in his metal helmet, why have they revealed his face publicly so soon? And for that matter General Hawk looks too much like Flint. THIS LOOKS BAD... like sloppy shit in your shorts bad.

I expect to see more locations than the BBC's Planet Earth series. And there should be an absolute minimum of CGI.

Imagine if it was a movie called "IRON NATION: Special Ops" and not GIJOE. Then we'd be saying "What the fuck is IRON NATION: Special Ops???" as opposed to "too much black". And no one would be saying "Awe shit...these pics are a GIJOE rip off!".

Anyway, Apple seeds have a minute amount of poisen in them(something I learned from this episode)so the Joe's adapt theire weapons and vehicles to fire an orchard full of apples at the thing which is about to destroy a whole city. I just remember Shipwreck(my favorite) throwing apples at the thing while it bears down on him saying "This one will be the one.....no this one!"

    Because you absolutely cannot reconcile the look of this film to the property itself. The Joe team looks absolutely horrendous with every one of them wearing that stupid Batmanesque body armor. What was cool about the show is how this team had such a sense of individuality. They all brought their own look and feel to the proceedings. And Destro not having a mask until the end of the film or only sporadically is something so nonsensical and less cool than the original that only Hollywood would try it. The Baroness looks good unfortunately shes Cobra COmmanders sister int his being controlled with nanobytes and used to be romantically linked with Duke, all of which is total horseshit not to mention cliched and tired even if it wasn't betraying the source material. And General Hawk in a black motorcycle leather jacket? ugh. Fuck this movie. Steven Summers will butcher this Michael bay style.

I mean, I know the word "uniform" means "one type", but still, the coolness of the G.I. Joe team was that each member brought a different personality and different skills to the table. This movie looks like an ass milkshake.

    This movie has officially dropped to the level where you would have to PAY ME to see it. $35 per hour, minimum. Everyone is wearing prototype Bat suits from the neckdown, stolen from the WB vault for Batman & Robin.

    I want to retract the word GAY.

    by joey_redballs

    It just occurred to me that no self-respecting gay person would wear these "combat outfits". The movie is NOT GAY. This movie is completely RETARDED. You put a white safety helmet on each of those Joes, and I could totally picture this movie being about "Special" forces. As a matter of fact, I'd go see it if every one of these characters had a white safety helmet and had special needs. P.S. Where are these soldier's helmets? Since they've got super suits, they don't need a helmet? And as for Duke...c'mon, he's 15 yrs too young and looks like a forgotten extra from Dawson's Creek.

    Wow. I didn't think any more could crap out character designs worse than Transformers but someone succeeded. Like someone said: the Transformer designs were 'bleh' but at least someone worked their ass off making them look unique. It took these chimps 30 seconds and a sharpie to make these lame ass designs. Christ, the costumes in Corman's Fantastic Four movie looked better. At least fucking Doom had the right get up on.

    Until the end. I guess people just assume he will cause that would make more sense. These are horrible publicity shots. Not as bad as the other ones though. Some guys do look all right but it still doesn't matter cause the script sucks ass and everybody is related to each other in it.

    I'm so disappointed, I can barely see straight. Though after transformers, this is exactly what I should expect... Besides the monotonous black nipple-less suits, General Hawk and Stormshadow look like they escaped from a poorly budgeted episode of the Power Rangers. Whiskey Foxtrot Tango, over....

    My two cents before reading any posts

    by grammaton cleric binks

    They made Duke a metrosexual, Destro looks cool, but I want a masked picture as well. I didn't think Sienna could pull off The Baroness but daaaamn. I've seen better Storm Shadow pictures from fans in conventions. It looks like the Borg got to Breaker, and took away his bubble gum. (Not the Roddy Piper kind, he always had it in the comic). I saw better pictures of Hawk earlier. Quaid had a brown bomber style jacket. It looked more realistic. Ripcord could go either way. (no, get your minds out of the gutter). I always thought the character was useless in the comics. Everyone needs to know how to be dropped in from a plane. And finally Heavy Duty..... Mr. Ecko releases his inner Jesse Ventura a la Predator, and will own you.

    Kind of hit and miss

    by tylermo

    Snake Eyes, Scarlett, and Baroness...pretty cool. Some of the others, take it or leave it. Wasn't feeling the whole beret-vibe with General Hawk. Not even sure if a younger actor with the beret posing as Flint would have been any better. I'll still see the movie. If it sucks, so be it. It's just a movie. And, I've still got my Marvel and Devil's Due comics.

    At least Ray Park will deliver the goods in his non-speaking role. Quaid(if not in attire) should put in a decent performance. And, Chris "Doctor Who" Eccleston should be great, unless the script is shit.

    Funny quotes

    by tylermo

    No doubt the Storm Shadow-underwear guy quote was funny. ANd, the G.I. Joe Soundtrack listing. Too funny. And, I had totally forgotten about the Snake Eyes break-dancing moment. Thanks*not so much* for the memory. hehe The cartoon was largely bad, except for a few moments. At least most of the Marvel "Larry Hamma" comic issues were good.

    Olivia Munn and other things

    by nicegoogly

    Olivia Munn, highly mouth fuckable, but her body is only okay. Baroness was fuckin' smokin' and had huge cans. Oliva sadly has none. Belucci is an awesome call, though. I find it hard to believe that this will be able to pull off anything greater than Barry Bostwick's Megaforce. I love that movie the month they played it on HBO in 1981. I was also 8. Plus, what is with Hawk stealing most of Snake Plissken's outfit from EFNY? Why the hell did Quaid turn down Commissioner Gordon to play General Hawk in a GI Joe movie? I complain, but he is the only passable character with regards to look and costume design. Snake Eyes looks well-designed after the character, but out of a cartoon, just seems like he is a Power Ranger. You wonder how the new Knight Rider show got green lit and then you realize crap like this is getting millions more in cash to be developed for the big screen. I may have to trash my GI Joe t-shirt. I already had to throw out my autobot t-shirt after last years toilet filler. I have now gone and made myself even sadder.
