A film can be a lot of things, this film took on that idea. its an origin, a world franchise builder, its about redemption and finding new beginnings. the characters have multiple objectives and are not trusting of each other. GI Joe has always been about covert tactics, espionage and saving the world. I feel this film accomplished that while changing the original story to a more suitably modern take while not wasting anyone's time.

the movie can't please everyone, old gi joe fans want the original snake eyes, others don't want white washing of a character that "could" be from Asia, some hate how sloppy the fights and spectacles are cut, others hate the narrative because it didn't do such and such. it a pg-13 movie based on a series of children's action figures and it should be taken for what it is, not for what it isn't.

to finish this review, I liked all of the characters and thought the performances were spectacular. I liked the campiness humor thrown in to some of the fights and training. the stunts and slow motion in the fight scenes were also very cool and despite some close cuts, it didn't hinder the actions on display or the story. I think the future of the GI Joe movie franchise is looking brighter than it ever has and in the end, what every fan wants is more content.… Expand

I had "pandemic-level" expectations for this movie, but it surprised me. Thoroughly entertaining, good plot, good acting. Kept me engaged throughout.

First G.I Joe movie I watched, thoroughly enjoyed it. If I had to criticize anything, it would be that the movie could of been a little shorter and the camera movement during the fight scenes could of been less shaky. Still a good movie!

The visuals along with the fighting were beautiful but due to the movie being PG, some fight scenes could have been more dramatic. I will say though that the movie should have been named differently as it doesn’t really feel like a snake eyes movie until the very end. If you are a G.I Joe fan looking for a movie about snake eyes then you might be disappointed, but if you are someone that’s just looking to watch an action movie then I’d say this movie is very enjoyable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Snake Eyes GI Joe Origins is an enjoyable movie at best Snake Eyes is a very disappointing movie my main problem is the action the action felt messy cutting back and forth there are some good action sequences I like the origin but the story is messy for me it felt off what took me out this movie was that he turned on everyone around the ending I get that he was to find who killed his dad but Tommy cares about everything about snake eyes but snake eyes just turns on everyone another thing this movie set's up more movies why why!!!!!!! I really did not feel like this movie was good the cinematography is awful which sucked the trailer sold me the movie did not work sadly this is one of the most disappointing movies I saw this year the action does not work the thing that works is the cast performances and the Tokyo setting is great that is really it the villain sucks Tommy is an alright character this movie sucked so I give Snake Eyes G.I Joe Origins a C+… Expand

Great action movie with real martial artist-actors. Real action that actually feels like it's happening I was surprised right away that the punches didn't feel like faked punches. The stories' minor twists were actually surprising to me. IGreat action movie with real martial artist-actors.

As one critic said, it is caught between creating a character and rebooting a commercial franchise. Earlie GI Joe movies, also handsomely produced, had this problem even worse. What I can say is the casting, acting, direction and production values have commitment close the level of a Marvel movie. What makes it forgettable is its theme is, "I will find peace thru revenge," the MOST TIRED TROPE OF ALL TIME; and, as critics note, the action scenes only satisfy if you are age 12 or younger.… Expand

The action scenes are the awesome The bike chase and the neon building fight is literally amazing although ending fight is just silly, the training scenes are good and the snake eyes father thing and the snake sequence is amazing although the snake eyes silenceness is not properly explained the ending of storm shadow is amazing right from the start the snake eyes here and there with tommy and the villian is intriguing and the revenge plot is amazingly done. Overall the 1st half is entertaining and the ending is dull yet its a decent origin not as bad as reviews its entertaining movie!… Expand
