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.

I caught it tonight during the Superbowl. I think it looks pretty cool. I do like Hawk's line when asked what his organization's name is and he replied "I didn't". I think Dennis Quaid was a good choice for the role.

It's kinda like I'm telling people, this GI Joe is slightly more cutting edge than their 1982 counterparts. What the military is using and experimenting with, powersuits have been in the work for years. But consider that the US uses unmanned drone planes. 20 years ago, would that have really been considered by people?

And let's move back another 20 years or whatever. Star Trek. The BEST example of technology becoming 'real'. The communicators in Kirk's days were wild back then. Now we have cellphones and bluetooth and whatever. Hyposprays? There are versions of that used. Tricorders? It's a device that reads the environment around you. I've read in science magazines that those type of things are in the works.

I don't know what people EXPECT and HOPE for GI Joe but I figure, let them go outside the box and see what happens. We want a more realistic war movie, we can watch Platoon or Full Metal Jacket.

agreed but it dose look very promising

Duke and Rip-Cord are wearing Multicam uniforms (just like me ) - Its the same type of uniform they used in Transformers, but with a different chest-rig (from what I could see from the pictures)

I noticed something funny. I saw the transformers Teaser Trailer again in HD and noticed that they have changed their vest from what I have to what Rip-Cord and Duke are wearing.
Will there be a Transformers/G.I.Joe movie? Well it seems so if they keep setting stuff like this up.
(There are other things people have noticed as well, might be just a nod to fans here and there, but knowing money-grabbing hollywood they can't let this one go).

Greetings!

I liked what I saw in the movie trailer for the most part. But then again, trailers can often be better than the actual movie...they are designed to catch attention and this one certainly did with me. What I didn't like about the trailer are the little details.. destro is so short.. not the big huge dude like the figures represent.. felt more like evil robocop corporate ceo. Cobra Commander as The Doctor also seems lame. To me I would've liked it better to keep Cobra Commander's origins a mystery. No used car salesman, no 1000 year old reptilian scientist, just "who was he before cobra?" kinda background. Keep it open ended that way he could be anyone... a politician, a rich billionare, anyone could become cobra commander.

I also didn't care for the design of the vipers. They looked like sand-vipers which I never really cared for. To me, the silver faceplace viper style is a viper. That battle suit can be state-of-the-art even in today's world.

The baroness looked hot, and scarlett too. The new joe uniforms visually looked cool to me, yet because it's so uniformed, it didn't seem Joe to me. Each member in the Joe team is a specialist, and therefore the outfits are all different.. each designed on the need of the specialist. The uniform made them all look cookie-cutter.

What's this about Breaker being the hacker/IT guy? Granted communications is a subset of telecommunications and telecommunications is a subset of IT, but I -- a software engineer -- find it hard to accept Breaker being the end-all jack-of-all-trades comm/hack/IT guy.

As for multiple roles, it does make sense that Hasbro is trying to cut cornors by having the movie characters enhanced with traits from other Joe characters. I really think keep the Joe team small for this one movie, like when GI Joe ARAH first came out.. the team was small and made do with what they had. They can always do another movie with newer characters. But keep it tight and simple and true.

Power suits are okay with me, it's supposed to be how we're headed anyway. Just don't make them superman suits. Skin-tight latex body suit makes sense for certain things.. they are excellent for covert/sneaking around in because they are noiseless, but certainly not practical for every mission.

The whole trend to re-imagine a brand seems to be commonplace recently. I was first deeply annoyed when Harmony Gold chosed to re-imagine Robotech (I'm a big time Robotech fan) when there wasn't truly a need to do so. With GI Joe, the story line with ARAH is fantastic, the formula obviously worked. Changing too much and then you have a fork in the story lines.. two camps, the classic and the film. There's enough branching of so many Joe storylines that it's confusing. Classic GI Joe verses the Intruders, GI Joe verses COBRA, Sigma 6, Sunbow cartoon, those other cartoons, Cobra-la, battleforce 2000, etc. Now the film line.

Keep the classic ARAH storyline, a re-telling but true to the original formula.

And it looks like some super weapon that grows/destroys the tower. The underwater arctic battle looks interesting. I really need to post about my Joeverse.. because for me, my Cobra base is in the arctic.

This is the problem I think. To many ideas of what G.I.Joe should be. Everybody has their take on it because there are so many verses, and you can't please everybody. You liked the ARAH storyline - which I think is an amalgem of the sunbow cartoons and the marvel run.
They obviously have taken a footnote from sigma six with the suits probably to capture the newest generation as well as make it easier with the action shots (they can get away with way more with the suits on).

They can't please everybody - as long as they keep the initial theme and feeling there I'll be happy.
