Joe "The Ultimate Weapon of Democracy" - yeah, not so much anymore. The movie was just not good, unless you look at it from the perspective of a production company taking over a character and twisting it into something opposite of what the character originally was. I think the actors are okay, but it seems like it's got to be really hard for them to overcome bad writing, disloyalty to the source material, and in many cases bad camera work.

There was so much great material written by the comic book creators in the 80's that it's so odd to see them gut Snake Eyes and reanimate his corpse. It's sad.

This is not Snake Eyes, this is Fake Eyes. If you'd really like to see Snake Eyes done well, check out G.I. Joe Resolute.… Expand

I gave it a shot and thought it was a pretty bad movie. This is a truly unnecessary, unoriginal, and uninspired origin story that is nothing short of a cash grab. It is a predictable 2-hour nightmare that never seems to end. Why did theyI gave it a shot and thought it was a pretty bad movie. This is a truly unnecessary, unoriginal, and uninspired origin story that is nothing short of a cash grab. It is a predictable 2-hour nightmare that never seems to end. Why did they honest even bother with this one? After the two previous films failed, Why did they think another film would right the wrongs? The world has made it clear - We don't care about these movies. So stop making them.… Expand

Even if you forget the blatant rewriting of the whole character Snake Eyes (can't have a white ninja in 2021, no sir!), this is quite the stinker of the movie. I've seen people use the words bland and generic, and they are right on the money.Even if you forget the blatant rewriting of the whole character Snake Eyes (can't have a white ninja in 2021, no sir!), this is quite the stinker of the movie. I've seen people use the words bland and generic, and they are right on the money. It's nothing more than a mediocre action flick, and has little to do with G.I. Joe. At least the former two G.I. Joe movies tried to stay true to the franchise, and where somewhat fun in their campiness.… Expand

Awful story, awful acting, awful pg-13 sword fights, awful sound effects, awful dialogue, awful protagonist. It gets one star for the neon lighting, it was a good contrast from the rest of the film.

Here we have another lame attempt at cashing in on the GI Joe franchise. Unfortunately this movie is as worthless as the first two movies and can go straight into the trash bin.

Unfortunately this movie is as worthless as the first two movies and can go straight into the trash bin. They totally rewrote the character's origins from the comics and here we have a version of this character that is just cliched, boring and completely forgettable. Completely the opposite of white washing the character, they made him Asian where he was a white guy in the comics. Well, at least they didn't use Rza as Blind Master again.… Expand

This is not snake eyes, if you go on the lore.
In the lore snake eyes is a white male how doesn´t speak, he wheres a mask to cover massive scars on his face.
This is just a white man bad switcheroo to virtue signaling.

First of all, Snake Eyes first appears in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #1 in the 1980s. It is agreeable that we must change who is behind that mask due to geo politics.

It is agreeable that we must change who is behind that mask due to geo politics. Still, the backstory of the most famed Joe should have been more interesting than a vengeful kid who risk the world to kill his pop,s murderer. p… Expand

If you love shaky cam then you'll love this movie. Seriously, the camera is shaking so much that is literally impossible to see what is going on. DO. NOT. WATCH.

What a lame story boring and hard to follow. I want my $ back. I guess Hollywood is out of unique interested ideas.

This was pure schlock. Lost interest halfway through the first fight scene.
