No, I followed it easily as well.

He was an extra, he hasn't seen the final product, which as we've seen includes heavy CGI. That's like criticizing a comic even though you've only seen the pencils, not the inks, colors, or even text.

It never happened, it was just a rumor that got out of hand. Sommers never got fired or kicked out of anything.

Can you point me in the direction of a pic of this new Cobrs Commander? I've been dying to see what he looks like.

Right here. Sorry it's so small, could soemone find a bigger pic?

The good news, that's Destro wearing that mask. Bad news, that's Cobra Commander on the far right.

Major assumptions you made. First, my friend wasn't an extra he worked in the assistant directing department for the run of the film. Not some schmuck dayplaying extra. Second, I heard the Sommers rumor from 3 different people -one of whom works on the Paramount lot. I didn't say he got fired -just kicked out of the editing room. This doesn't happen very often, but it happens & as I said, the moneymen have the final say & they have carte blanche.

Heres the thing with critics if they hate a movie it's proberly awesome the more they hate it the better it is. this doesn't always happen but 95% of the time it is true. I don't think the G.I. Joe will be better than ROTF. for me the new transformers movie was awesome the story was good for me. to be honest when has a movie or show of transformers really have a deep story it's always the same, big ass robots kicking the shit out of each other. i love it and i will always love it.

G.I.Joe: Sigma 6 had similar enhancer suits called "Sigma Suits".

As for the suits, they referred to them as "Delta Six Accelerator Suits" in the trailer. "Sigma Six" would have been a better choice, but that's just me.

Ahh. Ok. Thanks guys.

Nope. I followed it just fine as well.

Well it wasn't true anyway.

I followed ROTF just fine. Just didn't like it between The Fallen landing on Earth and the Egypt fight.

i actually wanna see r o c
unlike rotf

I was just commenting to a friend the other day that after being somewhat disappointed by ROTF (did like it better the second time though), GI Joe just could be the sleeper action movie of the summer.
Most people expect it to suck so it'll probably be pretty good. Guess we'll know in a few weeks.

Every time I see a preview for Joe, it just reminds me how there's always something about it I dislike. The first trailer had the pretty badly CG Snake-Eyes doing a backflip over the car. Personally, I was looking forward to seeing Ray Park as Snake-Eyes, not a bad looking computer effect. I'll admit though I am a bit biased on the real vs CG argument. 99% of hte time I can spot CG, and this time especially I think doing it real, or even mixed (real backflip compositied into the shot) would have looked better.

But I decided to wait before making up my mind. And then we got the accelerator suits. And the really bad looking Cobra Commander. And the fact that Marlon Wayans is in every fricking promo for the movie. I mean seriously, whoever casted him really should have taken a look at Dungeons & Dragons and figured out he's not appropriate for an action film.

Still, part of me wants to see it, but not enough to see it theatrically. I might wait and see some of the comments after it comes out (No critics though. Many of them don't know a fun film from a hole in the ground.)

I'm not surprised, aintitcool.com has so many Michael Bay haters it was nothing but inevitable.
