Another Reason Why the GI Joe Movie Is Going To Suck

Latino Review has a first look at Gerald Okamura in costume as The Hard Master in GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. The Hard Master is Storm Shadow’s Uncle and head of the Arashikage ninja clan. In the comic book series (possible spoiler alert), The Hard Master is murdered, causing Snake Eyes to leave the clan and Storm Shadow to join Cobra. In the comics The Hard Master looked kinda bad ass. Judging by the set photo above, the feature film version just seems rather generic and cartoonish. Okamura looks like something I would expect to see in the Dragonball movie.

    I agree...this movie is gonna suck, and that sucks.
  • jank
    he's asian. he's bald. therefore he's perfect.
    right? maybe? close enough?
    no.
    i remember when the first photos of snake eyes were leaked and how almost somewhat promising this looked. but little did we know. little did we know.

    everything ive seen about this movie looks dumb as hell. that first picture of snakeyes looked pretty ballin, but i saw another one with more natural lighting and you can see his costume isnt as awesome as it seems at first. but srsly, fuck this retarded movie. it will be really bad.
  • huh
    apparently this is what this dude always looks like, just go check out his site.

    Yeah this movie looks terrible. Snake Eyes, the best character in G.I. Joe, looks like a fool, not a badass. And Dennis Quaid? C'mon!!!

    It's a movie for a toy commercial tv show,G.I. Joe is always goofy.

    guys this is the same director of van hellsing an the mummy what do you expect lol bu the photo is fine the comic photo is a bit cartoonish and unrealistic in film btw
  • Christopher Marc
    kinda hard to judge a whole project without a trailer...he's wearing a kimono at least they got that right...lol..plus the picture is out of context and most likely shot by a crew member on set...it's a movie based on a Saturday morning cartoon and toy-line it's not Oscar caliber material to be working with....let's admit Transformers was a fluke if anyone but Bay did that project we'd all be making fun it as well...
  • did he train jinx too, or was that a different ninja master?

    you've got it bACKWARDS. THE TOP PHOTO SEEMS CARTOONISH , THE BOTTOM LOOKS MORE REALISTIC. DONT TURN INTO COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM. YOU CANT TRASH GI JOE BEFORE YOU SEE IT, PAL. WAKE UP, STAND UP, CUT THE CRAP AND HAVE SOME COPNFIDENCE. THE FACT THAT JUS APATOW IS NOT CONNECTED TO THIS FILM DOESNT MEAN IT WILL SUCK, CHRIST!

    ON THE FLIP SIDE, THANK FOR GETTING THIS PIC, PLS TRY TO OBTAIN MORE... INTERESTING.

    GET A PIC OF THE COBRA COMMNDER, OR THE DESTRO MASK. THANKS. BETTER YET, THE DREADNOKS, AND ZARTAN, THERE IS TOO MUCH GOOG EMBEDDED IN THIS FILM FOR IT TO SUCK SO CHEER UP.

    THANKS,

    you think him wearing something that's realistic and traditional is cartoonish? The comic picture above is cartoonish... orange with the open chest. You've reversed reality and fantasy. Go google Japanese Kendo, look at the picture results and try telling me that still looks cartoonish. That's what they wear. And you really think a ninja master would wear something bright orange that was custom made for him?

    "I know ninjas aim for steath but I thought I'd wear this bright orange Gi so I could stand out for the camera. and I want my family/enemies to be able to pick me out of a croud."

    @Gajonka damn you stole my thunder lol
  • Looks like a retro late 70's early 80's theme...
  • Larry
    This is BS. This movie may be a Sommers tentpole, but everything looks awesome to me.

    Screw the haters.

    Can you imagine what Ray Park is gonna do? Flip the shit outta that wig baby!

    Cobra Commander and Destro look wicked. Gordon-Levitt will pull it off.
  • Gajonka
    @ hendo, you know what they say about great minds....

    Sommers + Anything = Horriable
    Sommers + GI Joe = FAIL
  • south texas terror
    Looks like they are tryin to compete with the old streetfighter movie
  • john
    this film IS going to suck!
    why?
    the filmmakers are trying to hard.
    too many characters
    bad casting
    probably "over CGI'ed"
  • cib3k
    Everyone who thinks this is not going to suck needs to see Van Helsing again.
  • cobra-la
    what i cant understand is that the movie was basically done 20 years ago. Just turn the cartoon movie into a live action movie and people will love it. gi joe the movie was awesome and could be done so great now with all the technology. you didnt even have to watch the cartoon every week to follow the movie either.

    The guy who played Pai Mai on the Kill Bill movies would have been a perfect fit for this roll.
