Review of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) by Mustafeez99 — 27 Aug 2021

The mysterious element in the personality of the Snake Eyes was missing, it seemed like an anomaly in how I always pictured Snake Eyes. The Snake Eyes of this movie was almost witty, is this how Snake Eyes is supposed to be? Particularly bothersome was the sudden change in the personality of Tommy (AKA Storm Shadow); he was very frank and carefree then all of a sudden after Snake Eyes saves him he becomes all serious and rigged.

I was taken aback for a second like 'is he the same guy?'. Another thing which I noticed was that the animosity Snake Eyes had for COBRA, why was he willing to work with Baroness at the end, I mean how did he even have the appetite to do it.

The main question to be asked is, Snake eyes never received any formal ninja/stealth training then how was he able to infiltrate the safe to steal the Jewel, I mean I get it he was a tough street fighter but his style was very crude this task should have been impossible.

There are many other questions which could be raised for example how was Snake Eyes so well aware of the directions in a city which was all very new to him. I must say that this movie reminded me of Kill Bill and I must say there was very little blood-spill for a movie with a lot of assassins but this point is understandable.

.Overall the acting was mediocre, Henry Golding as Snake Eyes was also not too bad. Haruka Abe as Akkiko was superb. In conclusion I would say that acting was better than writing/directing.
