For those that don’t know, there’s going to be a G.I. Joe movie, set to be released in August 2009. If you grew up in the 80’s and watched these cartoons, you knew too well the famous phrase PSA: Knowing is half the battle

New pictures from the movie were leaked about a month ago, but I just got a chance to look at them today. Many fans say the casting is good, but the costumes look cheezy. You be the judge. (In true cartoon fashion, why couldn’t they make Duke blonde?)

General Hawk

Duke

Baroness

Breaker

Destro

Ripcord

Storm Shadow

Scarlett

(Personally, I think she looks too young for this role.)

As a side note, Korean actor, Lee Byung-hun plays Storm Shadow, whose face will be covered most of the time. Ray Park plays Snake Eyes, who I initially though was a Korean-American actor. In fact, he’s from Glasgow and played the characters Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, and Toad in X-Men.

Storm Shadow also has a leisure suit. Look at those shoes! He’s rockin’ the 2001 Korean men’s shoe fashion.
