Since so many Blasphemes readers seem to care a LOT about this project, here's the skinny ala major spoilerific descriptions...
An extended trailer for this action-y movie showed at Showest. We see a medley of action scenes, including Snake Eyes jumping off a building. A voiceover by General Hawk (Dennis Quaid) talking about how the team technically doesn't exist, and when all else fails, they don't. Duke (Channing Tatum) says, "I want in." Then we see Duke and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) chasing a Humvee through the streets of Paris, wearing their Accelerator suits. Then we see an Arab in the desert, who spies three shapes moving through the desert sands towards the Pit, the team's hidden base. Drillbits drill through the cliffs surrounding the base, and one of them opens to reveal the Baroness (Siena Miller) sitting on board the M.A.R.S. Mole Pod.Then Destro (Christopher Eccleston) explains to Cobra Commander (Joseph Gordon Levitt) that M.A.R.S. Industries has developed killer nano-machines. A member of Cobra shoots a rocket launcher over a rooftop, where Duke and the Baronness see it fly overhead. The rocket hits the Eiffel Tower and unleashes the nano-machines, which eat away at the tower until it collapses into the Seine. Ripcord looks startled.
There are glimpses of Shadow Storm's fights with Snake Eyes, and Jonathan Pryce being the President. The same deadly nanobots hit the Joes' Firebat jet. And Duke and the Baroness fight on that rooftop as she yells that this only gets worse. She fires a rocket at him. And then that Humvee crashes into a train, followed by Duke and Ripcord, who crash through the train's windows. [Superhero Hype]

Why do they wear black? Black is a non-natural color in an urban environment. The US Army no longer uses uniforms with black in them. Ehh, its Hollywood again being smarter than the rest of us.
But it looks *so* cool.
Especially on the ladies.
Seriously, we can't complain about the film or critique it outside of how it strays from the source material.
That's like belittling a Superman flick. If you buy that the guy in tights can fly, you've bought the idea wholeseale.
Just as long as Destro gets a hardcore metal facemask.
You think they could try to fit a few more people on the poster?
Nano - wait, wasn't CC mind controling Destro with nano tech or something? there was a post about that-
