HissTank has some "file cards" from the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra movie that has some of the first look (head shots) at some of the characters in the movie, including Zartan, Breaker, and "The Doctor".  You can also see pics of Hawk, Duke, Heavy Duty, Scarlett, Baroness, James McCullen/Destro, Ripcord, Storm Shadow, and the Cobra Viper.

God does this look stupid.  Which is funny, since every card I clicked on called the individual "brilliant."

So G.I. Joe is all dressed in black.  Cobra is all dressed in black.  The battles are going to be a mess.  But at least G.I. Joe will have a tactical advantage - they can all shoot freely at Storm Shadow.

This is looking more like a direct to video movie everytime something new pops up.   ::)    I'm still interested to see what CC looks like though.

This movie is looking as bad as the Dungeons & Dragons movie. And that was bad.

Meh, I'm not being too picky about it, and I'll surely go see it.

But if they don't get some mascara on Zartan, I'm going to be pissed.

Okay, it's quick, but there is some terrible looking crap in that trailer.

Not Schindler's List, but I think it looks bad ass.

I cant see what the problem is with this movie, ok so they changed some things and made them more of a global team (hmmmm does makes sense and will appeal to a wider audience, instead of just Americans), as for the costumes I prefer what they are wearing now, than the old outfits - like someone pointed out they dont look very team like the old way, however they do look like a special forces unit now - Also the old style costumes make them look like rejects from the Village People, Gung Ho and Spirit spring to mind.

Also I cant see the problem with Destro or anyone else for that matter, I think the Major problem is people are thinking why didnt they make the movie for us fans, instead of making a movie which will have a wider potential for new fans, especially with the younger fans who are into Anime and Metal Gear Solid style games.

To be honest if the figures looked like this all along, I would have been a big fan of G.I. Joe, instead of just liking a few figures from the toy line.

I'll stick with the 1987 version as it looks less cheesy and more believeable.  ::)

One of the things I always liked about Joe were the (somewhat) goofy outfits the guys wore.  They gave the team members character and made the entire thing more fun.  Afterall, they were after a guy in a hood and a guy wearing a metal face mask.

I'm fine, however, with the updated costumes to make them look like a military team.  I'm fine with the international aspect as it adds to the team, not take away from it.

What I don't like are the new robot uniforms and some of the sci-fi looking ships they're showing off.  And I have a sinking feeling that the storyline is going to be so far off from reality that it'll ruin the entire thing.  And so far, I've not read or seen anything to change my mind on that.
