Just got back, and all I'm saying is ... The Baroness was HOT, Sienna Miller did a great job and I think Channing Tatum did great job with Duke as well. The movie was a little long and very loud at times, but it was a WAR movie sooo ... Also IMO the movie had very little to do with the 80's toons / toys. But thats OK, really ... it still was a great ACTION movie.

BTW- the ending had some nice surprises ... You'll see.  Wink

It won't be considered high art.  For a popcorn movie to just sit back, it was good...
Though, did the unmasked Storm Shadow remind anyone else of a bad Elvis Impersonator?

I'm going to wait until this comes out on video. I did read the comic but never watched the cartoon. I will laugh if one of them mentions having a kung fu grip however.

Looking it up, it appears the storylines and characters are considerably closer to the comic versions than the toon versions.  I watched the show, but not heavily.  Overall, I thought it kept the basic concepts and most of the updates were decent (though the Cobra Commander mask is horrendously bad, and Snake Eye's molded lips were dumb).  It's certainly closer than the Transformers movies.

However, I will say the action scenes really do pretty much seem like the kinds of crap I'd do when playing with GI Joe's.  This includes some disconnects with logic and reality, but it's all in good fun.

Speaking of the character Snake Eyes, I remember that Marvel Comics had an issue of the G.I. Joe comic that was a first in the industry that featured the character. It was the first published comic from a comic company that had no words in it whatsoever. The entire panels of the comic told the story of Snake Eyes infiltrating a COBRA base and fighting that white cladded ninja.
As far as the molded lips on his costume in the film, that does suck as a consept. The character of Snake Eyes in the comic was a guy who was bady scarred and alway hid his face behind a mask. Also he could not speak but was one awsome ninja/special ops sort of guy. Adding lips to his costume in the film sounds about as dumb as adding nipples to the Bat Suit in the Batman movies.

I will say Snake Eyes NEVER speaks in the film.  You also never see his face (except in a flashback as a child).  Just to make that clear.

I saw it today.  Sure, the plot and dialogue are thin, and sure some of the CGI looks a bit unfinished (particularly some of the scenes in the desert), but this is an action-packed, escapist, summer, popcorn piece of entertainment.  I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind seeing it again.  I didn't even mind Dennis Quaid hamming it up . . .

I think it was a fun movie. Popcorn all the way.

They could have deleted half of Ripcords line and I would have been happy :p

I thought it was fun in a big dumb popcorn flick kind of way. I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.

Like a lot of the others, I thought it was good in a popcorn way, nothing too deep about it.  I DIDN'T like the revelation about Duke and the Baroness though, that was just DUUUHHHHMB.  Way to big of a coincidence to swallow.
