| I (usually) could care less about films adapted from comic books. 
I'd like to see this though.

It's times like that when you appreciate the term ad nauseam.

Those things have been around since the relaunch of G.I. Joe in 1982 when it was just a toy line/comic/cartoon (each with a seperate continuity) so its not like marketing GI Joe will only happen with the movie. |

| Wow, I'm surprised how much it actually does look like Snake Eyes! I can't wait to see Cobra Commander now.

Haven't you learned that Ashenvale is your typical Christian goth / industrial fan, which means he pretty much hates everything. I deal with them daily over at Flaming Fish Music and know this to be true. I visit the CMR to get away from their continual pessimism for awhile  |

| | My biggest concern is that they'll try to introduce too many characters and not write a decent story. |

| Here's the cast so far. Interesting choices:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046173/fullcredits#cast
Pro martial artist, Ray Park (Darth Maul, Toad) as Snake Eyes
Christopher Eccleston (28 Days Later, Dr. Who season 1) as Destro
Dennis Quaid as General Hawk
A real mixed bag as far as casting choices go. I smell the distinct odor of a B-Flick wafting through the air. |

| Any comic book going to movie has that potential, but it could still be great. I think I'll wait to pass judgement until I am sitting in the theater watching.

| | The actors playing Duke, Scarlett & the Baroness need to be a few years older. I hope somebody doesn't forget to burp them before they go out to battle. If not, they might spit up all over themselves. Those 3 actors are way too young for those roles. Claire Danes would make a more age-appropriate Scarlett. |

| Me thinks you get too worked up over the exact details. Most people going to watch the movie will only have a knowledge of the tv cartoon, and they aren't going to really care how old the characters look. Besides, some change in details is what is commonly known as "creative license".

| Duke, as the leader, should have more experience than some of the other members. That means he would have to be enlisted longer. His age should show that. This is commonly known as 'logic'  |

| Wel, the only problem I see with the casting so far is that they got Zartan and Destro ass backwards, from a cosmetics standpoint...........

Or being an anal fan. Most people won't give that much thought about what they are seeing. From the cartoons, most of the characters appeared to be around the same age. To draw in a younger, newer audience, more youthful looking actors will be needed. That's commonly known as marketing.
