Thinking of Movies

While I can't say the trailer for the GI Joe: Rise of Cobra movie exactly won me over as being an "awesome" movie, I will admit to saying that both Snake Eyes (Pictured to the left here) and Storm Shadow both look equally bad ass! And by the looks of things, both of these ninjas will cross swords during the course of the movie and so that looks to be a definite point of interest for me.

The thing that gets me is this: What's up with the power suit stuff? Is this GI Joe or Power Rangers? Now unless I've hit my head a few too many times over the years, I don't remember any power suits as being a major factor in the story.

At the end of the day, however, I'm just hoping this movie is at least decent. By that I mean I'm hoping the movie has a decent story and the characters aren't obscenely cheesy.

Yes I know those types died down back in the 90's, but recently cheesy has found its way back into our world (Charlie from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li was just brutal!).

Honestly, with all of these series from the past getting their second (or third, or fourth) chance at life, I have to wonder aloud here. Given that these are based off of cartoons from the 80's, I have to ponder on this...

Where the heck is a He-Man remake? I remember reading rumors about it some years back, but I haven't seen anything further about it since. Personally, I grew up idolizing that cartoon as a kid and I think it could potentially be AWESOME to see what kind of insanity can be brewed up in this day and age.

I can't lie... I'd totally mark out to hear this...



What else can I say? At the time, to me, this was only the single greatest cartoon I had ever seen! And that fact remained so until it disappeared and was replaced by a certain bunch of turtles...
