:PI have been watching G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra, and i happen to love it, btw. I can't stop watching the part where storm shadow, aka Byung-hun Lee. I love him. The part where he fights Snake Eyes is awesome. Does he really die, or is that just a little suspension building scene to suggest that he will be back in the next movie. For those of you who doubt that there will be a next movie, you are so wrong. The ending was enough for anyone to see that they will be creating a sequel.
I just have a few questions:
1. Did Storm Shadow really die?
2. Will Snake Eyes ever take off his mask?
3. What in the world did the president mean when he said "So that is what this is about."?
4. What was that iron thing that Duke's girlfriend's little brother put on the Scottish/Celtic guy's face in the end?
5. What was up with the president at the end of the movie?
Storm Shadow is pretty awesome. Maybe next movie he can join the good side and I can ogle at him forever. My friends say I'm such a fangirl because I only have eyes for Asian men. I can't help who I am. It's not my fault I don't find black men attractive, even though I am black. Another Asain guy, whom I happen to love is Han for The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift. I love him sooooo much. He was an awesome actor and I cry every time I see his death in the movie. I'm just wierd like that.

Heh, I suggest watching at least PART of the old cartoon from the '80s. Alot of what you seek is answered in there. But one thing I will tell you, is Snake Eyes NEVER takes off his mask. And when Zartan was in the chair getting the nano's put in, remember how his hair and facial features could change, and what song he always whistled? Theres the answer to question 5. As for the metal thing on the owner of Mars Indusrty(AKA Destro), remember how his ancestors face was encased in metal so to say he dealt weapons to both sides in the war? Thats pretty much what happened to him at the end. Just like ancestor. And as for Storm Shadow dying...that Im not 100% on, since he never did die in the '80s cartoon, but Im not sure what happened to him in comic books(which came out LONG before the cartoon), but it could be as you said and leading up to a come back in a second movie, which if they make...they better properly do the romances! Scarlet and DUKE are supposed to get together, Ripcord doesnt get a girl from the Joes! And the big black guy(cant remember his name), is supposed to be a White Texan!...Other than those few mistakes, I agree that it was a well done movie.
