Well, most people who go to the movies because they "like the theater" prefer movies with little actions, a lot of drama and dialog. (Movies like "The English Patient" and "Remains of the Day".) SilentDusty is like me I think. We have enough Drama and Dialog in our daily lives and we go to the movies to "suspend our disbelief" and lose our minds!

I find it hard to believe that the movie going public liked that CGI mess called "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and doesn't like THIS film. Oh well.

I get the feeling that a lot of hard core Transformers fans look down upon GI Joe, as some sort of rival. I get often the same feeling from many hard core Star Wars fans. I am mostly talking about the toy lines.

I wouldn't be amazed to learn that some Transformers fan would not like a GI Joe movie simply because it's GI Joe.

As a Transformers fan I find those suppositions offensive.

I loved Revenge Of The Fallen and I'm sure I'll love Rise Of Cobra too. I like fun action movies, and even if it doesn't match Marvel and Sunbow continuities I'll get a kick out of it.

The toy packaging was a dead give away, the actor however did not go through the same procedure as the rest of the cast to laser etch his face into a perfect mold.
He's not one of the starters so he doesn't get that treatment, should be obvious enough really.

I still have to wait a whole week for this movie....

The movie makes the cobra gunship look good. I got a feeling ppl will start buying it .. i need to get one.

yeah that thing was hardcore . as sumone mentioend elsewere i fwonder if it was Firefly piloting that thing ?

I found that it was very TF vs GI Joe when I grew up. *shrug* TF looked down on GI Joe just as the JOe fans looked down on TF. Just how things worked here with kids.



As well, it Brenda Frasier was NOT listed as part of the cast for the GI Joe movie by IMDB. However, those who have seen it KNOW he's in it. IMDB DOES have Fraser listed under their TRIVIA page and believe it or not, he plays a descendant from the O'Connell family.

Please note, IMDB is open to corrections/additions to info they have missed. So depending on which view you took. IMDB doesn't have Fraser on the cast listing which some would assume he's not in the movie. IF i were to dig further, there's a trivia piece on on him. For those who saw the movie, they KNOW he's in there as a cameo. So then, why was he excluded other than IMDB got a predraft?

Did anyone notice that it was mentioned that Snake Eyes took a vow of silence since the "hard" master was killed? I don't remember if it had a duration.. such as until the murder could be avenged. If so, could it be possible that since Storm Shadow is currrently killed--believed to be killed--we'll have a talking Snake Eyes in the future?

Gosh I hope not.

The original script had Snake-Eyes say a line at the end of the film, but Larry Hama said "AW HELL NO" and the director and producers listened.
As Larry said, having Snake-Eyes speak simply goes against his character's core.

I doubt Transformers fans even care about G.I.Joe.

G.I. Joe is a toyline that has spent 10 of the last 12 years struggling to be more than a novelty line for a bunch of h/c collectors. The 25th brought a lot of dudes into it but it still didn't sell like a real line (TF/Star Wars) The reason people had trouble finding waves wasn't because they were selling like hotcakes, but because Hasbro knew if they sent out a lot it'd be Indian Joes and you could get wave 5 for .99 a peice
