GIJOE Rise Of Cobra

I just watched this movie (in HD) and as an avid GIJOE fan (all the way back to the original cartoons) here is what I thought:

They screwed up the following characters:

Snake Eyes (what's with the stupid mouth?)
Scarlet (what's with the stupid smarts?)
Snake Eyes (terrible costume)
Baroness (American accent?!!???)
Destro (whip city! he's supposed to be twice the size and have a cool deep voice with a hint of a German accent)
Cobra Commander (oh god, this was so wrong on so many levels)
Zartan (oh my, where to begin? no powers? voice?)

I didn't have a terrible time with the storyline as I did with the characters. Here's the thing, JUST like Transformers... these studios need to get one thing straight. There is NOTHING wrong with the original characters so DO NOT screw with them. When you do... you end up messing everything up and then you get the GIJOE and Transformer movies. I'm going back to the cartoons.
