"Unfortunately the character photo was taken before McCullen’s face was disfigured, and covered by A swarm of nano-mites, giving him the iconic metallic mask, which allows the Cobra Commamder to control his mind."


Waitaminute - Destro is controlled by Cobra Commander via his metallic mask... Oh well, guess that's one way to explain their relationship.

Hi everybody. I've been quite out of Joedios due to a lot of factors, one of them being a lot of work at the spanish Joe community. But anyway, I'd just like to know if the rest of you have the same impression on he look of those "movie Joes". 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.

Head over to yojoe.com for some of the latest cast photos: Destro (sans mask), Baroness, Storm Shadow (in mask this time), General Hawk, Breaker, and Heavy Duty.

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.

Goog point there haradrel, Joes are probably to be depicted in other suits besides those seen here. But I do think one of the charms of G.I.Joe is the variety of uniforms, in opposition of uniformity of regular, real military units. If not, then G.I.Joe would just have been BBI Elite Force, but they are not.

I also expect the worst for this film, specially as images keep showing up I think few of us will like it, but I also think we will have to be fair with it and try not to judge it as the die-hard fans we in general are, but from a more general, non-biased point of view.

EDIT: videos look cool, but I expected to see something acting as a HISS tank

EDIT2: Oh, well, in vid 3,... that COULD be a HISS

What? Where? all I see is the same Humvee lookalike.
