It’s time to geek out!
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is coming out on August 7, 2009…but who’s counting. It’s not like I have a countdown clock on my computer desktop or something…
Anyways, I just came across these kick ass G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra wallpapers for your computer. Raise your “geek flag” and show it off at home, or even at work. (Heck, this might finally get you on the IT Guy’s good side)
I have to admit, the costumes are a little “modern” for my taste. (Hey, I’m a purist, it’s not my fault). I was just hoping that the costumes had a more “authentic” feel to them.
Why do the uniforms have to look like the Dark Knight meets Mission Impossible meets The Matrix?
I’d be happy with some old school khaki and green. But then Tatum Channing might just look like a member of the Village People.
I do have to give some props to how the movie guys did Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I guess out of any of the characters, these 2 had to stay authentic. Could you imagine the uproar of fanboys if Storm Shadow was “updated”? Damn, that would not be a good day.
Here are the wallpapers. Just click on the link for your desktop size and follow the instructions to get your wallpaper.
Snake Eyes – Probably one of the sickest costume adaptations ever. Hope Ray Park goes into his Darth Maul mode.

Storm Shadow – Loving the dual sword action. I can’t wait for the fight scene with Snake Eyes.

Duke – I wonder how Duke would look like doing “Step Up” moves?

Baroness – Hot. Period. (Jude Law, you are an idiot)

Scarlett – I have a feeling that Redheads are going to get really popular when this movie opens…

Ripcord – Not exactly the adaptation everyone was expecting (come on, the cartoon character was an entirely different ethnicity), but we can all expect some great one-liners from Marlon.

Wasn’t Duke coached by Samuel Jackson? Are baroness and scarlett wearing the outfits? What do the B.A.T.S look like? Is Dr. Mindbender in the movie? Man, I totally agree with you on your take on the updated uniforms. Bazooka wouldn’t look right without his red and blue #14 shirt. Are William Perry and Sgt. Slaughter in the movie?
@Lance –
- Yes! Duke was coached by Samuel Jackson, aka Nick Fury.
- Baroness and Scarlett are wearing Dark Knight outfits
- B.A.T.S. look like Transformers
- I’m waiting for a cameo by Sgt. Slaughter. Maybe they’ll surprise us at “end credits” when everyone is trying to leave their seat.
I like this games, it’s exciting and very fun…
fire in the hole!!!
