Say it ain’t so, GI Joe

This clip from the GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra looks horrible.  Actually, wait, let me back up.  Storm Shadow and the Baroness are great, but the Joe’s in their “Delta Six Accelerator Suits” look like generic action heroes in bad robot armor.  In fact the suits have already killed any and all enthusiasm for the movie.  Part of the fun of GI Joe was the ridiculous characters and their cheesy costumes Shipwreck, Wild Bill, Road Block, etc.  Transformers was not a good a movies on a lot of levels, but at least the filmmakers were smart enough not to mess with the nostalgia factor.  If you’re betting a movie on childhood memories of characters, then not making the characters look like the ones we remember seems like a pretty good way to shoot yourself in the foot.
