Wow... people here, start witch-hunts against re-casters, yet, downloading movies illegally is OK?......
I agree. However, I think calling it a movie is a bit of a stretch. More like an unnecessarily long and shallow toy commercial. I was invited to a screening (drew Mr. Hankey on the comment card and said, "Well, at least it was better than the live-action Street Fighter, but not quite as good as Gigli.") so I thankfully didn't have to pay for it.
I'm sure Storm Shadow's still alive. They didn't show him die (kinda like Boba Fett). We see him stabbed in the abdomen and he falls into the ice. Most likely the nanomites in the Baroness will take over again and she'll free Destro and ... the ... commander.
Why wouldn't they just have "The President" (Zartan) grant a pardon for Destro, CC and the Baroness? Boom, they're free with one simple wave of a pen.
I know, it's such an obvious no-brainer that Sommers & Company will probably not even think of it.

You already know why. Because that would make sense.

Can't wait for Shai's review. I wish we could get EVILFACE and Mando to break, too... but I suppose it's best if at least a couple of us remain untarnished.
Won't happen. GIJoe is my favorite thing. I grew up on Joe. Lived, breathed and ate GIJOE ARAH.
Just finding out about Snake Eyes not being injured and the PIT in Egypt drops this "movie" even more.
JUST WHAT THE HELL DID LARRY HAMA DO???????????????????
He either did nothing, or they didn't listen to him. I'm sure he's under contract and not able to say.
One thing we know for sure is that Snake Eyes was supposed to have a "comedic" one-liner at the end of the film and Hama fought tooth & nail to prevent at least that from happening.
By the way, EVILFACE... also funny (and completely dumb): In the movie, The Hard Master is overtly killed by 10 year old Storm Shadow. That's why Snake Eyes took his vow of silence.

Did they give him a eeeeevil kid Boba Fett laugh when he did it?
No, they just show him running away from the scene and his katana stuck in the HM's back. Then 10 year old Snake Eyes making the "I am pissed at life" face. I
at that, too.I mean, that's even much worse than what they did in RESOLUTE.

Remember, they didn't show it. Snake Eyes (who was named such because of two moles he had - one on each cheek) just found him with the Wakasashi in his back and Storm Shadow running off angry...
If you ask me, they paid Hama a fat wad of hush money.

Why, Ohh why...?????
The Hama storm Sadow/Snake-eyes origin story is one of the Greatest thing about the Joe lore but it wasnt good enough for the movie ???? Why the ^^^^ did they changed that..Just give me one good explanation for this, summers..It makes no sense at all......

I know I'm not too vocal in this section, but you can count me in as one who will not see this movie.
According to the movie adaptation comic SS didn't do it. The movie certainly didn't make it clear. There's room for the sequel to still reveal that he joined with Cobra to find his uncle's true killer.
We did see Zartan impale Cover Girl through the back which is the same way the HM died. It might not be quite as far from Hama's version as you guys are making it out to be.

I could see it now:
[Interior Jet, Flying back to base]
Duke: "Well...does that mean I'm part of the team now?"
Scarlett: "I think it does, Du..."
Snake Eyes: "Knock, Knock!"
(All the Joe's turn to him in shocked exasperation)
Ripcord: "W-who's there?"
Snake Eyes: "YO!"
(The Joe's all smile, knowing where this is going...)
All Joe's together musically: "YO WHOOO?"
(Snake Eye's turns, mouth on costume smirking)
Snake Eyes: "Yo mama!"
[BLACKOUT, Credits rolling]

I saw this again last night. It still holds up, even without the beer. 
Best part was, about 10 minutes into the film, this kid walks past me and sits down in a seat three chairs away from mine. I thought, "That little dude looks familiar."
When the first fight scene happened between young Snake-eyes and young Storm Shadow, my entire row erupted in applause and cheers. I light bulb started to flicker over my head...
Sure enough, Leo Howard (young Snake-eyes) was watching G.I. Joe with me last night. When the lights came up, I caught his eye and said, "Great job, kid. You were awesome." He was obviously on cloud nine about the whole thing.
Weird. St. Louis. Snake-eyes. Who'd have thunk it?

Don't worry Evilface, there will be a remake of GIJoe someday, made by someone who is a RAH superfan. This version will be buried someday.

still haven't seen it. i thought i would have a desire to once it was actually out but i really haven't. i am looking foward to district 9 this friday though.
Well i'm 2/3 into the movie now..and its definitely a POS....People liking this must have really low standards when watching a movie...its action scene after action scene after action scene after action scene...no substance....After the first 15 minutes every cliché of the genre has already been showed in front of your very eyes...makes you wonder why do you bother even watching it...But I courageously eat all of the poo poo platter
This is definitely not A Gi Joe Movie...maybe inspired by, but this is not Gi joe...
Biggest turds in the movie:
Cant stand wayan, he's really the resident comedic black dude....he's really not believable as an elite soldier...Black people worldwide should be ashame of the way he's portrayed with Duke....Why do Black people are always dumb in action movies starring white folks...Anyway he sux bad...Also, it seems sometimes Scarlett his disgust to kiss him....their realtion is not believable...
Tanning chatum or whatever is name his, should concentrate on doing male modeling and stop his acting carrer right now...he sux at everything in this movie.He is not Duke material...he has about 3 face in his repertoire.
I didnt like the Zartan character at all....Zartan aint a blood thirsty maniac and this is what they made him in the movie..Dont like the actor eighter.
Actors playing Baroness is ok...Destro is ok......But the whole plot about her being with Duke is stupid.Her real love is Destro.Again big fail.
Cobra Commander costume is pure caca.Only thing I like was the voice the actor took to sound like the Evil cobra leader .And he could have look the part too, but , the costume kills everything about the charater.
Ray park as Snake eyes is really a Fail too.Too small, doesnt have charisma...doesnt look bad ass enough..and again ,ridiculous costume.
THE ONLY THING I ENJOYED ABOYUT THIS MOVIE: Storm-Sadow, he's the real Bad ass here.Forget Snake eyes.The actor playing him was great casting.If only the plot was better.
In retrospect, I think if you were a real fan of the Joe Mythos(mostly the comics) and grew up in the 80's you will definitely see this movie as one big turd. Like I did.People enjoying this must be too dumb for me to ever talk to them again..so please identify yourself so I can put you on ignore.
Thank you.
