Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

Snake Eyes seems to barely recognise the talents of the cast it has on hand.

It's the franchise that nobody wanted, featuring characters that nobody cares about and starring an actor who struggles with the basics of the craft.

Snake Eyes finally speaks, but with frustrating action scenes, a middling story and unearned sequel-baiting, there's not much here that's worth listening to, or watching.

And on the seventh day, God ended his work and rested. Because even for him, enduring this whole endlessly puerile blockbuster mishegas one more time was, if He was being honest, divinely exhausting.

Compared to other Hollywood blockbusters, Snake Eyes is better than fine - but there are hundreds of Asian and Southeast Asian action movies that run circles around the final product here. At least Golding and Koji got theirs.

This is a movie that takes Henry Golding and manages to drain everything interesting about him.

Ultimately, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins isn’t a very good film and serves as a case of wasted potential. Hardcore fans may be able to overlook the film’s editing issues and have a good time with it.

Henry Golding is FANTASTIC IN THE MOVIE & he SAVES THE FILM. Without him I would of found the film boring. The action is too shaky & will give some headaches, & even the story here is way too much.

With a confusing plot, a large amount of shaky cam, and some dated ninja clichés sprinkled throughout its excessive runtime, Snake Eyes never really finds its narrative footing.
