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.

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.

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 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'.

As someone in the military
by Reel American Hero
Apr 18th, 2008
10:55:30 AM
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.

Levitt was good in Brick and The Lookout, but he seems a little young. Should be interesting.

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).

More screwups to come
by Samus Aran
Apr 18th, 2008
11:00:23 AM
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.

OMG!! Are you serious. All of those movies actually DID suck. Especially Donner's Stuperboy. Oh well. Have fun with that.

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.

Transformers...
by Frankenbastard
Apr 18th, 2008
11:39:30 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Willow

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.

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.

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?

Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe these aren't the actual costumes these guys will wear for the whole film?

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.

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."

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.

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;)

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

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.

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.

I don't know what the fuck he is supposed to be but he looks like a gay kid at a comic book convention who made up his own character for a Matrix role playing game. So bad.

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.

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.

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.

Was it really that hard to give Hawk some green army pants and a brown leather jacket? What's with Stormshadow's overcoat? They all look retarded except for Snake Eyes. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Hey, filmmakers: The SOURCE MATERIAL
by fractureJonze
Apr 19th, 2008
03:04:05 AM

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!

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.

The "It made money so it must be great" is a dumbass argument that only a dumbass would make.

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Crimson Guards

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.

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?

He was pretty badass in the comic. Mostly because of Storm Shadow's DNA. Well, at least until Zartan introduced Serpentor's eye to an arrow...

I don't get Snake Eyes' shoes.

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.
Worst part about these pics: they're not fun.

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.

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...

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?

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'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!
