Are the power suits really that bad an idea?
I mean its been done, but it has a very G.I.Joe feel to it if you ask me. Though it sounds more like something Dr. Mindbender would make then G.I.Joe would utilize.
My main concern over this movie is that they are turning several characters into one, just to get the most out of the movie (or it seems that way thus far).
Hawk/Flint (mainly for looks, but we'll see how that turns out).
Breaker/Mainframe (hacker? c'mon this is mainframe)
Heavy Duty (which should be Roadblock - but if he surfs and plays in a bad then this is Rock & Roll, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened).
There is also the rumor that Cobra Commander/Rex will be "The Doctor", so I'm guessing they are combining Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender into one Character as well.
If we see Scarlett lugging around with Spears we know she is a Lady Jaye combo as well (again I wouldn't be to surprised if it happens).
But even with all of this going on, I'm still hopeful for the movie, as long as it gets the same "feel" as the old comics/cartoons.
I am expecting it to be very campy and over the top - but then again G.I.Joe always has been campy and over the top.

Edited:
I just answered this on one of my pictures, but I guess it could explain things from my view here as well:
Well you don't go to a jackie chan movie for the great acting and drama
And you don't watch a porn movie for the thrilling plot
I'll take it for what it is, and what its meant to be: popcorn entertainment. It will always have nay sayers and yay sayers, all depending on how they view the franchise. It could never live up to please all of the fans, and with a movie like this of course it will be hyped and have a lot of hopes put on it to "re-live" peoples childhood.
It's just a movie after all, how can you cram 10-15 years of childhood memories into a 2 hours flick? It's impossible, so some people are bound to be disappointed and hate it.
