Are you forcing my hand or something? I won't be able to tackle this topic until at least tomorrow evening. Too many other, more important things that need to be written.
Regardless, somebody has to fill those roles, right? Who would be your pick? I shudder to think you'd choose that slow-witted Ch-Ch-Ch-Channing Tatum. In the role he was basically a Forrest Gump in unform.
All these himbos are all so depressingly vacant-looking; I don't think I could pick any of them. I can't even get worked up at the thought of any of them in tight leather.
Why doesn't Emile Hirsch make movies where he wears tight black leather? This is so unfair. *sulk*
Ok ok ok - imagine this; Emile Hirsch pulls up in the Mach 5, and he's hunched over the steering wheel, kinda like on your wallpaper, but in the car; he turns his head up slowly and says, in that soft Euro-drawl of his, "Come with me if you want to live."
What struck me again as I watched the movie (which I felt was mislabelled with that name because it focused more on Duke than on Destro or the other Cobras and, given where it ended, I wouldn't say it was Corba's best hour, so "rise" doesn't seem appropriate, imo, but that's a different random digression) is that the good ninja always wears black while the evil ninja always wears white (and what kind of ninja wears white anyways?) ... I mean, wtf is up with that?
I probably wouldn't have done if I hadn't essentially been promised a Cobra origin-story and then it doesn't even focus on the Cobras heavily except for the Baroness who suddenly, instead of just being an evil badass, is the poor brainwashed victim of male machinations...
*wanders off to empty her stomach*
Loved movie!SnakeEyes but could have done without the backstory. I really liked that the Joes are now multinational (makes everything they get away with seem less vigilante) but having a firm grasp on the backstory of Snake Eyes just seems wrong...
Baroness who suddenly, instead of just being an evil badass, is the poor brainwashed victim Yeah, about that - what the hell? And it was all going so well. I kept chiding D-D-D-Duke for not shooting her. "Shoot her!" I thought I must've yelled aloud at least once in the theater.
...but could have done without the backstory. Also that would've cut out at least 2/3 of the flashbacks. Geez!
The movie was good. The volume was too loud in the theater we saw it in. The actor that played Duke, Channing Tatum was a little young to be a Major though. The actress Rachel Nichols, whose battle armor was interesting yet comical, also played Gaila, the Orion female roommate of Uhara in the new Star Trek movie.

My son was confused by that dichotomy as well.

I just discovered that Ray Park was SnakeEyes. In a word, 'perfect.'
