    I was surprised to see that they had the actors for the main good guy and bad guy from the original Mummy in the film. That was pretty awesome.

    Is it just me, or does Anna, that Cobra chick, look just like Olivia? Oh, and I know that this entire forum has probably said that, twice. But, I'm far to impatient to read 3 pages of comments. I saw the movie. It was entertaining. Plot was lacking as excepted. Although, Snake Eyes is blind, and they never even mention that.

    @TH3 H4NMGAMN, Blind? I almost spit out my soda. He is mute, not blind. Have you ever read the comic?

    @magoo I think he was referring to what he did to his eyes AFTER seeing the film... I can see how that is confusing

    I have his action figure. His bio said his eyes got screwed up in a helicopter accident.

    @TH3 H4NMGAMN, Still not blind. On at least one occasion he sent the other Joes to escape while he stayed behind, taking their night vision equipment so he could see in the dark. You don't need a starlight scope if you are blind, it is just a heavy piece of useless equipment.

    True I guess. I suppose the translation from Chinese to English doesn't work out that well

    @TH3 H4NMGAMN, The Chinese translated bio also says "Don't rinse before dawn or the orange will eat the Emperor duck" under his weapons qualifications.

    My thing was why did they give Snake Eyes a mouth? And why was his suit rubber? Shouldn't he have had a more functional outfit? BTW The Baroness looked nothing like Olivia, she looked hotter!

    @REJ, Snake Eyes had a mouth so the blow up doll they make for the special trade shows will be more "functional", which also answers your second and third questions.

    I think it was to make him look human and not like an alien.

    The lips are a tactical advantage! He distracts his enemies with them, throwing them off and when their guard is down he strikes!

    the CGI was a train wreck. other than that, this could have been called "Special Forces"

    @SubarashiiGaijin

    i was laughing when i saw "the Mummy"
    because this was directed by the same guy.

    i knew Brenden was in it, didn't know about the other guy.

    Zartan was freaking cheesy....but a Awesome kind of Cheesy!

    @Todosho- I had forgotten that it was directed by the same guy that did "The Mummy." Knowing that, I should have seen those two actors coming. xP

    But yeah, what was up with the whistling? Was that just so you could tell it was him?

    @Sub

    pretty much.
    Zartan never really cared for sides, he just liked killing.

    you could say that that tune he whistled was his calling card....since he could be anyone.

    This movie was good... not great... good.....

    I rank it just below the first x-men movie. Honestly i think people expect too much from these movies because their childhood memories are so great...

    here's a tip, watch GI Joe the animated series or the movie now and you will see this movie is true to the vibe of the cartoon.

    the fact that they didn't try to make this realistic made it better.... freedom to make them look like the cartoon. not like transformers.... so lame

    meh...I'll do it later

    So one could also say that Zartan is like the gooey pink blob known as Ditto?! xD

    I didn't think I'd like the movie, but I did. I went into the movie knowing nothing about GI Joe, so I don't know how accurate it was in that sense. Fun movie though.

    Ohh, good for you.
    And how was it?

    I liked it. i mean, its not the kind of movie u should take seriously. its basically a real life cartoon anyways. channing tatum and sienna miller were good. the two ninja actors were good. everything else was okay. there was a lot of corn in there. marlon waynes prob shouldnt have been in the movie but his lines were supposed to be funny anyhow. actually the whole movie had some funny times.

    i will say however, that the gijoe purists will be dissappointed. i watched most of the cartoons when i was younger and all the backstories are basically changed for each character. cobra commander was a dissappointment majorly tho.

    anyway, i usually like dramas more, but for a throw away flick, this was pretty good. same as what transformers did for me.

    btw.. the guys who did the cgi should be fired tho. terrible
