[Not sure if I like the fact that everyone dresses like the Baroness](http://www.collider.com/entertainment/news/article.asp/aid/7803/tcid/1), but Scarlett looks **hot** , Hawk looks cool, and Snake-eyes looks badass.

Where’s Destro’s mask, though?

I’m not thrilled by the wardrobe. One of the neat things about the old G.I. Joe comic books and cartoons was the variety in their costumes.

Hmm…Scarlett doesn’t really strike my fancy, but The Baroness does look hot.

Why does Duke look like a 16 year old kid? And why oh why is Ripcord a Wayans brother?

Snake Eyes does look awesome. Do you think he will be as central to this movie as Wolverine was to the X-Men movie? I’m glad they are finally making a Joe movie. It’s been talked about for at least 20 years now.

I will make a prediction now, based on nothing but the costumes, that this movie will be horrible.

Dude, anyone could have made that prediction _before_ seeing the costumes.

But Sienna Miller in a tight leather outfit, glasses, and (in theory) an Eastern European accent? Sign me up!

The Baroness alone makes this movie worth watching. Holy crap thats hot.
