Movie NationRoger MooreJul 23, 2021
There isn’t an original idea in “Snake Eyes,” so even if the first big brawl is cool enough to give one false hope, the puerile story leaves our star and the director of “RED” (and “R.I.P.D.”) nowhere to go, even on a cool, whining electric street bike. Read full review

More often than not, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is a dire checklist of clichés that were already gathering moss back in the 1980s, when G.I. Joe was a popular children’s cartoon. Read full review

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenJul 22, 2021
The fight scenes, full of swordplay and gunfire, are choppily edited and somehow lackadaisical. It’s as though Schwentke was operating from a checklist of expected action-movie clichés and hurries through them all. Read full review

It takes the most popular G.I. Joe character and totally demystifies him until all that’s left is a blandly hunky dude with a sword. Read full review

The fight choreography is often impressive. But the script is pockmarked with cliches, tropes and never-ending predictability. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzJul 22, 2021
Watching Snake Eyes (full title: Snake Eyes – G.I. Joe Origins) is not a physically painful ordeal. But it is an emotionally harmful one – a soul-deadening exercise that approximates satire, minus the self-awareness. Read full review
