I have no idea how good (or bad) the movie is going to be, but at least they got one thing right!

Not only did they get the look right, but he's being played by none other than Ray Park. 'Nuff said.

In other news that should have them rending their garments at Comic-Con: Paramount Pictures released the first-ever photos from its upcoming G.I. Joe project, which continues to push forward with production in clear defiance of our wishes. Some folks have given us flak for our premature evaluations, hopeful that the film will be something more than a cheap cash-in rendered with the same style-over-substance disposability that has turned the modern action blockbuster into such a grating experience. Allow me to direct these doe-eyed optimists to this quote from director Stephen Sommers (lest we forget, the man responsible for Van Helsing) about Ray Park’s character Snake Eyes: “He's the world's greatest ninja, but he's also next-generation. He's not afraid to use a sword one second, and a split-second later he's pulling out his Glock.” Awesome! Does he also “enjoy listening to gangsta hip-hop” and “partying to the extreme”?

YOU BASTARDS THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD
stfu, you'll have cool-looking new toys to play with as you watch your childhood get cinematically sodomized.

Wait....is it going to be a kids movie or an adult movie? Cause....if it's a kid movie that guy looks a little frightening for a kid.

I imagine it will be targetted to the late teen/early adult population, as it is us that grew up watching G.I. Joe.

I grew up watching G.I. Joe? (I'm 18) I thought it was made in the late 80's?
-
I never watched it or played with the toys (my mum didn't let us play with anything remotely related to violence; shit she didn't even like it when Cookie Monster would go nuts and tear apart the set and start eating it!) but I'll probably see this anyway. Just because Ray Park is the shit.

LAME, they went with the Venom vs Valor Snake Eyes and Arashikage Clan tattoo. Destro is also the lead villian instead of Cobra COmmander which is lamer.

Last I checked, 18 still counted as "late teen" but I could be mistaken.
:P

Hmm, never did watch G.I.Joe an awful lot as a child, anyone watch those G.I.Joe videos that were a massive piss-take and had a lot of adult humour, like, stop motion animated with the toys...
I can't remember the name of it. But it was hilarious...
-
I never watched G.I. Joe nor did I ever own, play with or want one of the toys. I might not be the target audience for this film. In fact, I'm weirded out that they are even doing this. Hopefully they'll be coming out with a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe film at some point (the old one with Dolph Lundgren is fucking awesome).

I remember the most memorable part of the show is that there was an epic war going on, yet no one seemed to get shot or hurt in any way.
-
Nah, the most memorable part was that it was impossible for someone (except Snake Eyes) to initiate an attack without either yelling "Cobra!" or "Yo Joe!"
People got shot and hurt on occasion. It usually occurred when riding some impractical flying vehicle with no armor or attempting a stealth attack with the loudest vehicle known to man.
-
Well now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

Snakes Eyes got radiation poisoning one time, and who knows how many of Cobra's men died when the bases exploded.
