This is starting to smell of an under-budgeted sifi channel “event” that will be brought to you by GameTap and either Oxy-10 or Clearasil.

Storm shadow looks stupid! is he wearing a pair of white adidas?

“Leaked.” Uh huh. And I think the dude playing Duke previously starred in Buttman 43.

Covergirl? For Softball & Bandana magazine?

Coming this fall, Stargate SG-duh

caption under marlon wayans should read.. ‘Before I head out for a hard day fighting terrorists, I make sure to use Tucks medicated pads’

This looks terrible. Soooooo corny. And how is Snake Eyes supposed to look badass in his black outfit and mask when everyone is wearing a black outfit?

I think this could possibly be worse than transformers…

Lame. Snake Eyes did get me excited, but Storm Shadow, with his silly ass jacket, his face showing and non all ninja-ed out, and his ridiculous sneakers singlehandedly just killed it for me.

I don’t understand why everyone acts like the GI Joe movie has such high standards to live by. The cartoon was fun, but not exactly Akira and it’s a line of toys that goes back forever. What about any of this means that the movie has to rival The Godfather?

I’m looking forward to seeing some ass-kicking and some bad dialogue and maybe some sort of Public Service Announcement.

Why is it that most people find time to express their disliking on projects like this?

You don’t like it, you don’t go and see the movie, period. That´s the American Way!!!

And don’t get all “It should be done like this” because neither of you made any attempts yet to make a better movie.

Oh, yeah, also… This is a movie about a cartoon… It will not be the greatest film ever in the history of cinema, so your expectations should be lowered (this doesn´t mean by any chance that the movie might not rock)…

I wanna see Destro!!!!

So…

We complain about a movie, and we’re all stupidheads.

You complain about us complaining about a movie… what does that make you?

Voices of reason.

Too. Much. Black.

I mean, yes, things need to be changed, but, what is wrong with the normal OD that your military types would be wearing?

Marlon Wayans?!?

I can’t think of what else to say. Can the Hollywood writers go back on strike, please?

It doesn’t look cool… that’s the first thing that strikes you. G.I. Joe, huh… well that ain’t the hulk or luke cage…. whatever!

Excellent? This cast blooooows.
This movie will be worse than Street Fighter.

It won’t be the first time a comic book movie sucked. Most of them do, of course, simply because they are trying to make them for everybody. Spiderman’s girlfriend is called Mary Jane (Weed) for a reason. Spiderman isn’t about some chick he may or may not marry. Boring! He’s about fighting cool monsters and the hulk or something juvenille… If I want my ‘heart strings’ tugged I’ll watch Oprah or Dr. Phil, which is where American’s shed their tears!

Yippy, Sigma 6 the movie. Just what we needed. (Sarcasm).

Storm Shadow has potential, as does snake eyes, but the rest of the cast and those suits have got to go. Seriously, Marlon Wayans? I expect his movie to be campy, but this looks like street fighter camp (BAD!) not Captain America 80s camp (GOOD!). Here’s hoping CC, Destro, and a future Serpentor all make up for it, or they at least have an old school sgt savage cameo.

I’m thinking these black outfits are likely / hopefully just their outfits for a particular mission in the movie…..I’m still hopeful that in the rest of the movie, we will still see their original outfits. We’ll see…..

THIS IS A TRAVESTY.You have DESTROYED my childhood.The Baroness has me exicted, however this is not a film about a mere SWATeam.
All costumes should remain true to cartoons/action figures. From Bazooka’s open chested navy outfit(a la village people), to Sergent Slaughter big ass chin! Please reconsider costumes or i will start a boycott campaign. YO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean Gung-Ho, not Bazooka. -_-

Oh, I thought that was the Baroness until I noticed the crossbow. She’d be the one with the slightly darker hair then? Well, I’ve got to go dig a grave for my anticipation.

The black costumes do have to go but I do not know why you all is hating on Marlon Wayans for, someone has to be the comic relief in the movie… If anyone needs to be talked about its Channing Tatum because when did Duke look like a kid straight out of high school

Well, thank goodness you “voices of reason” are wasting time on this stupid cartoon movie forum setting all us nerds straight instead of using your infinite wisdom to effect real change in the world. That would be truly scary.

Movie studios always say they have to make things more realistic or else modern audiences won’t buy it. Explain Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and all the other unrealistic yet highly popular movies.

Movie studios say that fans are only a small minority and that changes must be made to appeal to the broader audience who doesn’t know the property. In that case, why bother adapting the property? You’re not going to get anything from name recognition if the target audience doesn’t recognize it and the fans apparently aren’t worth concern to begin with. You could call this movie Death Strike 2000 and no one would know.

It all boils down to corporate focus groups and Hollywood’s ever increasing lack of imagination.

Also, it might be a toy/comic/cartoon movie but that doesn’t mean there’s not a good story to be mined from it. And there’s no difference between these fans not liking certain changes and the complaints you no doubt make when your favorite pretentious novel gets adapted and no longer resembles the source. For Pete’s sake, I’ve heard college professors complain about how inaccurate Hercules: the Legendary Journeys was because it was feeding children false information on the myth!

Looks like they brought back “Space: Above and Beyond.”
I don’t want to complain, but I don’t understand why they would have to do the “Batman/X-men” costumes. Give them real-world clothes and make sure the story is strong. I’ll probably still see this when it comes out, but I don’t know if I am as excited anymore.
The guys on the TV show Dallas SWAT look more bad-*ss

I WILL NOT see this turd of a movie. The cast and design suck all the way. GI Joe had so much potential to be a bad-ass super-action flick. First Transformers, now this. Stop ruining my childhood already.

Up yours Hollywood.

You know when I designed these G.I.Joes back in 1982 I was thinking that they would remain the same for years. And when I saw these images of my Joe figures on this page I was a little disappointed. I don’t even know why Hasbro Toys even let the studios do this to these Joes and take them out of context for what they are?

I recently went to a G.I.Joe convention in Dallas ,Texas and talked with many G.I.Joe collectors and most of them are disappointed in what the studios have done to one of the most beloved figures in the world. I mean Duke looks like a little kid compared to what he is supposed to be, Storm Shadow and that rediculous coat and his face showing, whats up with that? Both Scarlet and Baroness are supposed to be Sexy, thats the way I intended them to be, yet strong, fearsome and independant woman.

I think the studios got it all wrong on this one, they probably say that this is artistic license? Well I call it Bull. You can’t change G.I.Joe and people will not except this image you have created.. Any way thats how I see it.

Yo Joe! OO-ra!!

I was with you right up until ‘Both Scarlet and Baroness are supposed to be Sexy,’

I can’t be the only person who at least finds the revamp of Scarlett and Baroness sexy. I might not like the change in design, but, they are at least sexy.

What is everyone getting bent out of shape for? None of us have even seen the trailer yet; all we’ve seen are photos. I’ve been a fan of G.I.Joe since 1982, and I’ll wait until I see a trailer and the film before passing judgement. EVERYONE RELAX!

I agree with just about everything that everyone else has said. If the Joe licensees had had any balls to begin with, they would have flipped the bird to the studio the second there was any mention of “changing the story to fit the current global political atmosphere.” Swivel on it, studio execs. Swivel until you squeal like pigs on a honeymoon!

It would not have been hard to make everyone look realistic and still fit the images that we grew up with.

You you…… you have no idea how bad your movie is going, I live in cancun mexico and even here we think the costumes look stupid, fixed man, we are waiting to see something like iron man, hell boy etc, not Swat, cmon pick up the ball talk to Larry.

This is a real joke. I’m a die hard GI Joe Fan, I’ve seen many incarnations of GI joe cartoons from the original GI Joe to GI Joe Extreme and I must say that this is an true insult to the GI Joe name. First of all where are all of the original Joes like Quick Kick, Grid Iron, Sky Dive, Lt Stone, Low Ligh, Black Dragon, Lady Jaye, Road Block, Dusty, Jinx, Gung Ho,
Lt. Falcon, Sgt Savage, Ambush, Alpine, Bazooka and the all time favorite Sgt Slaughter and so many more Joes that are absent from this film. And what’s up with these shitty looking costumes. GI Joes were American Military Special Forces therefore they’re supposed to have military outfits on but what the hell is this ? They’ve completely ruined the image of the characters. Duke looks too young (Duke is supposed to be in his late 30’s early 40’s), General Hawk is actually much younger and looks more fierce, Scarlett looks like crap and Cover Gil looks like a cheap porn star. Storm Shadow looks like a gay pimp. I will shoot myself before going to see this film. This is not worthy of the GI Joe name.

Uhhhh….

You call yourself a die hard GI Joe fan, but, half of those “original” GI Joe’s … well… *aren’t*. They all came into being well into the toy/comic run. The RAH toys started in 1982, as did the comic book. The first five episode mini-series cartoon was 1983, with the good old mass device. Of the characters you listed, only Gung-Ho was in it. Bazooka wasn’t, probably because he was an extremely boring figure.

Hell, you can’t call Sgt. Slaughter an original GI Joe character either considering he’s a real world person implanted into the cartoon.

Die hard my sweet patootie.

Can we say ” Splinter Cell Make Over”??

Come on guys let the Joes BE the Joes.

Well, yeah, but so what?

g i goe was a fag.

storm shadow does wear a mask in the movie just so you know,i think he just took it off for the photo opp.but this movie looks awful,how can you have the needle dick from 3rd rock from the son as cobra commander.screw tatum they have the geek from 10 things i hate about you as cobra commander.i dont get why hollywood loves to ruin things that were great.iron man and the batman begins/dark night.were the only three action movies that i enjoyed from start to finish.this is going to be an abortion of my childhood when this flop comes out
