Looks like Snake Eyes is wearing a motorcycle helmet and what the hell did they do to Cobra Commander?This movie is a travesty.

Only if Hollywood and the producers would take a little more in consideration to "childhood" memories and stick with the comics and toys rather then "lets update and or make changes". They would attract more die hard fans to the movies for ticket sales.They have ruined the Transformers, with GI Joe hot on its heels of bombing. I would pay to go see GI more like its 80's characters then this 00's "altered" version. But then again, if you are old (like myself) you remember the ORIGINAL GI JOE from the 60's and 70's, who had no lasers, no Destro, no Cobra. It was GI Joe against The Mummy, etc. with Kung Fu Grip, Submarines, and GI Joe characters were the size of the Barbie dolls. Not small action figures."Times... they are a chaingin...." ~Bob Dylan

Pretty good movie, especially the flashbacks with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Unfortunately, I hope Cobra Commander eventually loses that dumb "fish bowl" mask. And finally, is it just me, or is Marlon Wayans "Ripcord" as annoying as Jar Jar Binks? That alone is such a big turn off.
