I liked the trailer. I like the powersuits. GI Joe is over the top to begin with, why shouldnt the movie be the same? Now I like my hard core realism too, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, etc. But there has to be a "hook" or whatever for the movie to revolve around.
As far as Starship Troopers the movie, well, it should be named something else, because that movie defecated all over the excellent, fantastic book. I recommend that book to every literate person out there, its as much as WHY you fight as much as the actual fighting. Eventually, somebody is gonna make a GOOD movie with mechs, powered suits and what not. All the ones so far, like Robot Jox and live action Guyver really sucked.
I think its unfair to knee jerk react and say "this movie will suck." Its not meant to be Shakespeare. Give it a chance before you say it sucks, 25A sucks, sigma sucks and so on. There is more to GI Joe than ARAH.
