The Cobra commander back story was ridiculous and his final appearance was terrible. The plot was just plane lame and the characters were nothing like the cartoon and/or comic book. I am not one to typically tear apart block busters - i enjoy them for exactly what they are, but this was just to horrible to remain silent. GI Joe had so much good cannon already in place and they instead chose to make this drivel. I recently read the original Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen treatment and I now know how the movie making process can destroy a good story. The original ROTF story was great, the movie, a disaster. I have to assume something similar happened with GI Joe.
That all said....the Accellerant suits were cool!
Let's hope the same DOES NOT happen to the Jack movie! FPW has stated that he's very satisfied with the script so let's hope that the director and the studio don't frick it up beyond all recognition...whenever it gets made, that is.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
