[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 4666704, member: 725"] The first trailer: 1.) The first (hot) female on screen can of course be seen as a play on male 'sensitivities', but it really IS Baroness, very recognizable. 2.) People seem to miss the shot of the large fleet of underwater vessels, very Cobra like (one of the things I really like about is Cobras uniforms and vehicles). 3.) The shot with Baroness in the background (in correct uniform as far as I can tell) and Destro in the foreground. While the only real clue you have that it's Destro is Baroness her presence and the Scottish accent. I hope he will done the iconic Destro mask later in the movie. 4.) The Eiffel Tower shot is very dramatic (no explosion but some sort of green acid) and very Cobra like (a big and flashy demonstration of what they can do). 5.) General Hawk looks a bit more 'filled' then I would expect from the comics, but most impressive "Make the call.". 6.) The Joe uniforms might not be as 'colorful' as in the initial comics or toy line, but are generally believable and appropriate. Snake Eyes has his proper uniform of course ;-) keep in mind that this film isn't only direct at the fans of the 80s toy/cartoon/toy line, it's also directed at the general public. While the public would probably accept the bad guys in 'strange' uniforms, I don't think that they would accept folks running around in a 40's naval uniform, or folks in a flight suit (with parachute) while operating on the ground... 7.) Snake Eyes did some extreme stuff in the cartoons and the comics (not to mention what you did with him as a toy ;-) So I don't have a problem with the moves he makes in the movies, I do mind that the CGI that allows for those moves is so obvious. I hope they spend some more time on it to make it look a bit more natural. Complaints about the UN (feel) of GI Joe is a bit off imho, GI Joe was always a more international organization, just check the personnel files of the joes. Personally not a big issue (and I doubt that it'll play a really big role in the movie), especially when you keep the current environment in mind. I'm really excited about this movie and I might actually be tempted to watch this in the cinema (last movies I saw in the cinema where the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies). [/QUOTE]
