15 reasons why The Rise of Cobra Movie is everything G.I. Joe isn’t!!!
The ruthless Cobra Commander with classic blue hoodie with the biggest absence of the film
Filled with entire disappointment a lot of people at the movie theater with astonishment saw my angered expression, when I stood up at the end of the hideous film and cried out loud: That is not G.I. Joe!!!
I entered the movie theater with a programmed mindset in hopping that the post I made nearly a month ago about the Joe’s movie, would be totally wrong. Check out the post: http://www.villainsandheroes.net/?p=764
Unfortunately, as G.I. Joe footage passed on my unconvincing eyes… I couldn’t trick my mind no more, till it screamed inside: Your instincts where right, the G.I. Joe Movie totally sucks!!!
At this point, I don’t know which goes for the title of the worst comic movie adaptation ever: Either Dragon Ball Evolution or G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra!!! What I do know, is that the G.I. Joe Movie is not only disrespectful to fans, but I’ll give you 15 reasons why it is not true original G.I. Joe comic book film material:
1) Destro used the metal mask by family tradition. Never imposed by the Cobra Commander itself.
2) Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow met and where great buddies in Vietnam. Not rival kids as the movie says.
3) It was Zartan who killed the Hard Master, not a deceiving Storm Shadow kid as the movie portrays it.
4) Originally, Storm Shadow never took off his mask.
5) Cobra Commander’s transformation is never to the breathing mask. It is to the classic chrome helmet or hoodie mask. That was the BIGGEST disappointment in the film!!!
6) Ripcord was an expert and skilled halo skydiver, not a pilot.
7) Scarlett was in love with Duke and at some time had a crush on Snake Eyes, not Ripcord.
8) Snake Eyes didn’t do a vow of silence for the Hard Master’s assassination. It was because his face was partially disfigured in a helicopter accident.
9) Cobra Commander became evil by the sorrow he felt of his brother’s car accident death. Not because he was given as MIA (Missing In Action) as the film lies to tell, as a result of a bomb run on a facility target.
10) The original Pit was secretly based under Stanten Island not under the desert, that was way much later and happened first in Utah and then moved to Arizona.
11) It was the Cobra Commander and Destro who originally attacked the Pit for the first time.
12) Cobra Commander and the Baroness where never brother and sister.
13) The Baroness was from the start in love with Destro, not Duke.
14) It was Destro who created the Iron Grenadier Soldiers, not the Cobra Commander.
15) Cobra Headquarters, where based in an island somewhere secretly hidden in the Gulf of Mexico.
“So when everything else fails, the movie also fails in”:
Bad voice dialogues, really crappy CGI effects as a matter of fact It looks like if you are watching a demo, corny romance story, bad plot and Sigma 6 emphasis not the classic G.I. Joe every fan expected.
The only good thing and true to series is the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow rivalry and the hot, very hot Baroness outfit, without leaving apart the smokin Scarlett gal outfit also. But for everything else the movie The Rise of Cobra is a torture to your eyes!!!
Destro and Baroness a match made in Hell
Destro wore the "iron mask", due to proudly family tradition
Sienna Miller delivers one hot Baroness!
Baroness: When good girls go bad
Cobra Team: One bad ass family of lethal vipers. We missed you guys!
Zartan, leader of the Dreadnoks has a killer secret for Storm Shadow
When they were friends: Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow at the shadow of the Commander
Storm Shadow never took off his mask
Snake Eyes never took a vow of silence
The battle of these two blades brought out some justice to the movie

I don’t know. I hear everything you are saying and I understand your frustration, but I have seen G.I. Joe 3x now and I am looking towards, with much anticipation, to its eventual Blu-ray release. It was everything it needed to be, in my opinion, a grown up story line, much like they did for The Transformers film. Of course, the movie had its faults at times, but overall it was a fun filled ride I look forward to taking again very soon!
If interested, I wrote a little review about my first screening here:

My biggest frustration is when you have a movie by the titlte: Rise of Cobra, I was expecting a ruthless Cobra, winning round 1 in the trilogy, that of course Hollywood will make.
Not seeing the true Cobra Commander as portrayed in the action figures, cartoon series and Marvel Comics was my biggest disappointment. And always the changing of the real
plot is not cool. Keeping to the basics is something that won’t harm any film and sure thing make every fan happy. I will see your review man. That’s the good thing of this,
two fans who can differ, but come together in respect as one.

I will tell you what. The movie’s official novel had a different ending. I won’t spoil it for you, but it was slightly a little more glamorous for the few remaining members of Cobra.
The whole reason why Snake Eyes can’t talk though is B.S. So you mean to tell me he can talk anytime he wants now?
I agree with you on the Commander debate, but I love when he puts on that final mask and he says “You will call me Commander.”
No, as a matter of fact I like and stick with Snake Eyes not saying a word at all. It makes the Snake Eyes character more intriguing and interesting,
but the fact that in the movie he doesn’t talk, because he took a silence oath is wrong.
And I totally agree upon you about the closing Commander line, but for Christ sake it was the perfect ending opportunity either to show the chrome looking
helmet or better yet, if he had his face screwed, the blue hood would of been the cheery in the ice cream topping. But they missed it.
