I think that they have completely ruined the concept of G.I.Joe, wich was each character having a personalized uniform, rather than being all of them in the same suit.
I still dont't want to judge the film, even if it sends me negative vibrations, but I think the pictures we've seen so far are too X-Men-like; just look at Destro's in front of that gate clearly rescued from Xavier's School.

Well work and other things always keep you away from things/people and places you love
I don't think they have completely ruined the concept of G.I.Joe - The concept wasn't in the uniforms, but rather people being from different branches and having different specialties. And as a military man myself (or rather having done my tour of duty) I prefer a unit that looks cohesive rather then a mix-match or ragtag appearance. As an example I'll put up Scarlett once again, I don't think you could sell her as a soldier in a form fitting orange and purple leotard, that just wouldn't look right (its kind of like the joke in the X-men movie from cyclops "What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?).
But I do think they could have gone another way with the uniforms, especially the camouflage uniforms that Cover Girl and Hawk are wearing (those are just plain wrong...) - It has been said though that there will be more then one uniform/suit for each character, so maybe we get to see the old comic book uniforms make a cameo or some such (Here's hoping!)
And on the Destro thing - We will get to see him in a mask, but I figure they will CG that to make it easier for expressions to show. - Did you notice the little button on his tie - I'm guessing that's a family heirloom (ala his necklace in the comics).
The Casting for me on this picture has been Complete success and complete miss at some levels, but I'll say more on that when the movie is released, they might have hit the nail on the head if its a good movie.
Truth be told and I've said this a lot: I expect the worst, but hope for the best from this movie.
Keep in mind, I thought that Transformers was one of the best movies ever! (I like that kind of humor and there were moments in the movie that brought back fond childhood memories).
As far as the hype from fans for this movie, I don't think it will ever live up to it. It will most likely fail in the eyes of the die hard fans because they didn't go that direction completely.
