Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, starring Henry Golding of Crazy Rich Asians fame, is Paramount's latest effort to capitalize on the few relevant franchises they still own, and not a very successful one because it flopped badly at the box office and was a pretty bad movie reviews wise as well. Their plan was to crossover GI Joe with Transformers, but now remains to be seen what happens. With Snake Eyes, one of the biggest core issues is that it fully caters to little kids, who don't really go to the movies anymore. And so in today's Anatomy of a Failure, let' s see how exactly this film came to be mostly enjoyed exclusively by little kids and why that's not a great exclusivity for a blockbuster movie to have anymore. Maybe see Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings instead.

I just want a Rom film
Reeeee
Man I’d rather have a Fast & Furious/Transformers crossover
Snake Eyes was never meant to have a movie like this anyway. The idea of the original toy and his character is that you never knew who he was, he was supposed to be anonymous so that we could be anyone, he could even be you. The one thing that made the character special is now thrown out the window.
Hate to be that guy but I knew that it was going to flop. A movie made by hacks in suits who have never picked up a GI Joe action figure or even watched one episode to understand why it was special to a generation.
Also, they already did his origin in the first movie.
Would have worked if they just changed a few thing honestly
Imagine if snake eyes made the guy roll the dice for his life and the guy rolls of one that gets him to live
@@augustuzmoon3814 Dang that's actually badass 🍻

If anything, the only few things you KNOW about him are completely ignored, namely that he's a foreigner in a ninja clan and that he made a VOW OF SILENCE....

Imagine making a Snake Eyes movie and ignoring the 20 odd years of lore about who Snake Eyes really is and why he is who he is and pissing off half of your fan base before the movie ever comes out.
It was not a Snake Eyes movie,they took another story and made it G.I.Joe characters
Don't have to imagine it. That is what actually happened. I need to find the youtube comments I left on the trailer release videos. Pretty sure those of us that owned the original comics in the 80's said this was where this was going.
the only thing they got right was storm shadow he never was a bad guy even when hes in cobra he is a spy hes only working for them to find his uncle/father figure's killer in the lore deep down he knows his best friend (brother) snake eyes would neverr kill the hard master. there clan became his family .
"It's a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off for 'em"
srick 773 • MCU movies do that all the time the Venom movie and the Deadpool movie did that. Yet I hardly ever hear any of you rubes complain about it. Seems like complaints only fly into your brains when the ethnicity of a Caucasian character has been changed. Now Imagine that.
Dont even get me started on Akiko, who completely distrusts him, is suspicious and really dislikes him... and he tells her one paragraph about his childhood and she is ready to risk everything for him lol
I realised from that scene on that the movie was going south... Straight into the belly of those "giant anacondas" 😂
He punches her too and she's like '' I love himmmm ;(( have my babies '' teaching kids to be abusive. P.S just watched the whole video, he punched her twice!! XD Once at the duel they had and again when he's caught stealing the jewel.

I known Snake eyes from the previous movies for being a silent badass but the moment I hear him talking in the trailer, it was a nope from me.
Yeah its not him
Yeah he will talk because he didnt still become the snake eyes he becomes the snake eyes at last. snake eyes actually lost his voice in accident.
@@aditya_who6295 i thougth he never talk because he swear to his master he never gonna talk until he found who the one that killed his master
@@mememan2011 It's shown like that in the G.I Joe movie but its not real. He got caught in a fire accident where he got third degree burns and the accident also effected his vocal cord. This movie also tried to show how Snake Eyes and storm shadow met but they used the enemie's plan as as the meeting plot.
YUP
I mean to put everything aside, they simply ruined and failed to portray this really iconic character. They reimagined him in the worst way possible. If you can't make a good movie, you should at least stay true to the characters.
Sounds like D&D when they became the sole writers for the end of Game of Thrones…
Those two were at the helm for years, but the moment they were given free reign they failed to understand what made characters lovable and enthralling, and ended up subverting (ruining) almost every story line.
Jon Snow is Azura Hai foreshadowing?
Nope, nevermind changed our minds.
Arya faceless man training?
Forgotten, doesn’t use any faces or techniques after Frey death.
Jamie making a full arc and being the actual little brother to kill Cersi?
Nope, he’s still a douche and gets crushed by rocks.
Dany grappling with the reality of war, that she has to hurt innocent people despite not wanting to?
Nope, she snaps and kills women and children with zero remorse.
Some people just don’t have the vision to carry out beloved characters like this.
@@brainderp808 its not just the talking ... its also that he doesn't wear his iconic mask in any fight scene.
@@brainderp808yea ... right when the movie ends. What a stupid idea.
@@brainderp808 Yes, he shouldn't talk at all, he can't talk. His face is a nightmare of mangled/burnt flesh and that's why he wears a mask. The reason people like Snake Eyes is because he's a silent badass, not some guy with a sword.
I thought this movie was similar to X-men: Origins Wolverine.
I heard the creator say something like "it's just super cool" in the trailer, and I immediately knew it would be bad.
As in creator, you’re referring to Larry Hama
Unfortunately, Larry Hama hasn't written a good G.I. Joe comic in years.
@@a_venz Even someone as revered as Hama was is essentially a corporate wage slave. When his owners tug his leash, he'll say whatever is necessary to stay on the plantation. These people, even in their 60s and 70s, are spineless.

@@user-bg4nz2vb2b instead of talking about interesting character/world building or anything that would hint toward a compelling, cohesive story, we got "its just super cool", to me this just implies that this is going to be a movie for people with them goopy goblin cave man brains (people that settle for cool visuals instead of interesting stories).

And it still failed
this movie could've been a Storm Shadow's origins with actual SILENT Snake Eyes. him being talkative is the very first bad sign of this movie.
I gotta disagree. In the snake eyes comics he talked until he lost his voice at the end of training so it makes sense for him to be talkative
A reverse Deadpool?
@@bryanross1838 agree
@@bryanross1838 is it him losing his voice or taking a vow of silence?
@@ikhwanhabibi209 depends on which interpretation of snake eyes your adapting. Either way he doesn't talk
Snake Eyes and Mortal Kombat suffered from very similar issues when it came to the actual film. They both touted the skill of the martial artists used for the fight choreography, yet both films utilized quick edits and shaky camera in EVERY fight scene.
Good thing the dad didn't roll two 6's, or the protagonist's moniker would have been "Box Cars". Not quite as cool sounding.
I cared more about Storm Shadow than I did Snake Eyes.
Same

He did get done dirty in that movie but that's my opinion
The whole "snake eyes" name origin has the same unnecessary prequel energy has finding out why Han Solo is called Han Solo
Yes ,Hollywood must stop prequel sick infections.
The need to explain all things is really tiresome.
Yep. My thought exactly. See above 👍
I spent my entire life content in believing that Mr. & Mrs Solo just liked the name Han
@@wcaypahwat I spent my entire time don't caring about how he got his cool name. Now I know he and possibly thousands of people after the war got the name Solo from a dude stamping papers. Now I want to hear his backstory, why he is such an a55 to give people names like this.
I watched this movie 5 days ago with a friend. After we finished watching them, I thought it was like another mediocre action movie. But my friend was so upset and said "just watch the 2 previous movie and you will understand."
I never know/watch/read any G.I Joe stories in my life, so yeah I just give it a try. Now i just finished with first 2 movie, and I'm very upset.
so your friend = dumb?
Upset because they all suck?
Why?
I imagine it's because Snake Eyes in the other live action movies is depicted in a much more awesome manner.
Bruh watching Sentinel Prime betray muh bois and kill Ironhide had me crushed.
That scene still fucking hurts to watch it again nowadays same goes for Ratchet
They did Ironhide dirty! He should have gone out in a blaze of glory, but instead he got shot in the back by a coward..which is probably why that scene still lingers today.
Poor Ratchet! Our favorite field medic just wanted to be left alone 😭
@@nicknitro86 Ironhide had the most underserved death while Ratchet had the most heartbreaking one...tho my boi was loyal till the end...i gotta appreciate how they really have no problems by showing horrible deaths even with the good guys, like you would expect only the bad ones to die in a horrible way, yet even our bots that we all love, are not excluded from getting a horrible demise

Guys you dont have to worry now transformers reboot is here
Snake Eyes was literally the villain in the movie compared to how good storm shadow was
I thought snake eyes was a fish out of water character someone different who fights to be accepted by his peers his master dies and takes a vowel silence but idk maybe I was wrong
@@Rafrob77 you are almost correct, he was injured in war that is why he couldn't speak, the movies changed that.

@@Rafrob77 I think it's vow of silence, not vowel...xD
@@BillyTheBigKid82 sorry I used text to talk and didn't proofread 🤣
Instead of becoming Snake Eyes, it felt like he's more of a Black Ranger from Power Rangers.
Oh yeah does he have a functioning morpher?
perfect explanation wtf does he have a retractable mask like iron man.
Let's see Snake Eyes is a disfigured mute who was originally Caucasian and found peace living with his brother in Asia Storm Shadow who's actually the better ninja after all he's been doing it his whole life. He's seemingly becomes a bad guy and we find out later that he was framed and Snake Eyes never stopped believing in him.
Snake Eyes greatest characteristic is loyalty and Hope and self-sacrifice. Who essentially abandoned his culture and became Asian that used to be America.
Okay in this movie we have the reverse a guy who's Asian who became an American. Who becomes disillusioned. Who talks all the freaking time. And is a pretty boy.
What the hell did he have to do with snake eyes?
A few corrections, Snake-Eyes only became a mute after the helicopter crash when G.I. Joe was being formed, it was Storm Shadow who was framed for the death of their master, Snake-Eyes never became a bad guy and he didn't abandoned his culture and became Asian that used to be America. Read the comic book that started in 1982, don't depend on the films and cartoons.
@@T-800I Whoever made this movie was too stupid to adapt a cartoon, let alone the original Hama comic which is a literal war story, it's pointless to even bring it up when discussing the product of moviemakers that probably wouldn't even comprehend the comic. 😂

I went to go see this in cinemas on the day if release with my friends. There was 5 of us and not a single other person in the whole theatre. We spent about half an hour sitting through this before giving up on this movie and going on our phones. This movie holds a strong place in my heart as the worst movie I went to see in cinemas.
Going on your phones while watching a popcorn / non-stop action / eye candy movie.
How old are you, 22? Did you play Roblox on your phones 🤣🤣🤣
Jokes aside and shade aside I really wonder with almost all of Gen Z hating Hollywood and several cancel culture moments. Why did you even go to the Cinema? And It would be interesting to see the Demographics of Cinema goers aswell, must've dropped alot between ages 15-25..
@@dagg497 Mate did you not read the comment? Have you seen the movie? Are you joking? If not let me educate you.
It clearly states right in the comment that we tried watching the movie for about half an hour before realising the movie was unbearable to sit through any longer. The simple fact is the movie is not good and if you had seen the movie you would know it isn't good. There are so many things wrong with your unnecessary comment aside from the fact that the movie simply wasn't well made and even if it was you still have no right to comment and explain to me what I can and can't enjoy. People have different opinions on movies and you can't sit there and say my opion it was wrong (although according to reviews it is still a terrible movie but again that is just an opinion even if it is very widespread) so why feel the need to leave your comment? Are you one of the movies creators because if you are let me tell you that you didn't do a good job.
To conclude, Snake Eyes was the worst movie I have ever seen and I wouldn't watch it again if there was a gun to my head and yes I would play roblox on my phone over watching that dumpster fire any day of the week.
More shocking is that some people truly liked it. I'm happy for them but I also don't think we can be friends.
I feel u man..the level of disappointment in this movie was epic..

Kids aren’t as dumb as executives think, I hate the argument “ it’s for kids” so it can be stupid or low effort.
Also not a fan of the "black and white morality is for kids" argument. Like star wars, black and white yet everyone loves it. Princess Bride is the same. Let's not forget most everything about Superman. Oh, and almost every horror movie in existence.
Kids are both stupider and smarter than people give them credit for.
@@vyor8837 The Dragon Prince is a kids show and it's whole thing is the grey morality of it's events and characters (even if it stumbles on this front sometimes)
What he means for kids is the simplicity. The enemy is the enemy, the protagonist is the protagonist. No blurry lines in between.
Filmento is very precise in his analysis.
I would love to see him.dissect Phineas and Ferb movies.
Yes they are. So are adults
"The audience it caters to simply does not exist anymore, the audience being: Little Kids"

Can't believe I watched a 20 minute video about a movie I didn't care about lol
Watching videos critiquing something you hate is actually a lot of fun!
I learned that, as a storywriter, not every character has to have their own backstory. What if Blizzard made an origin story campaign about Dr. Ariel Hanson in StarCraft II? That would never make any sense.
I actually loved the extra material blizzard used to have. Every spell, enemy, and building had a lot of lore if your willing to read the manual (and it was worth it too).

For example did you know in Warcraft healing doesn't "close wounds" it actually just shares the wounds with everyone (a broken leg split between everyone is... nothing).

@@SnakesGames everything HAS TO BE a universe. This is why the snyderverse wasn't as good as it could have been. The immediate need to shove things in the current movie for the sequel.

Did GI Joe ever have mystical items and stuff like that before? I always thought it was just purely military action based. Magical rocks and giant mythical snakes don't seem to fit the GI Joe universe.
Trying to be more Marvel like lol
krplus.net/bidio/nLymYnJrdYjYh3I
GI Joe did start out quite grounded, but intodused more and more SF elements, like mindscaners and robots, and we have cobra commander that transform into a snake thing...... then we have Zartan who can shape shift.
Ehhh. They've dipped their toes in the mystical realm
Depends on the continuity, The comics were pretty well grounded in reality. Most of the vehicles were production military vehicles customizes for the Goes. (Skystriker / F14 Tomcat, VAMP / XR-311, etc.) The Sunbow/DIC animated series however was geared more towards pushing toys and as such was constantly getting line refreshes which pushed things further and further into superhero mumbo jumbo. The Cobra La thing (GI Joe the Movie) was about the worst decision the original series made.
Warning: Don’t watch the cartoon movie
Ok, interesting. In my country the Movie wasn't marketed as "GI Joe: Snake Eyes" but just "Snake Eyes", maybe because GI Joe hasn't been a thing here as far as i know. Also the Trailers and Adds i've seen for the Movie always depicted it as a dark, action-packed Fighting Movie catered to adults, not kids.
Just Watch Mortal Kombat Instead: The Movie
the dice are weighted
thats why he didn't roll
he just liked watching people suffer in despair.
Don't loaded dice have just *higher* probability of giving the specific outcome and not a 100% snake eyes outcome?
This is something I got and understood, I just think it should have been fleshed out better
My theory is that Cobra is producing these movies in order to portray G I Joe in a bad light.
"COBRAS!!! RETREAT!!! WE HAVE TO FILM BAD GIJOE MOVIES!!!"
You're on to something

GI Joe taken over by Cobra? 🤔😮
This must be cobra propaganda.
"the audience for snake eyes doesn't exist anymore, and that audience being little kids."

-Filmento 2021
The problem with this damn movie is that his origin can simply be based around him taking a vow of silence like he did in Rise Of Cobra, trying to hunt down Storm Shadow who he believes to be his master's murderer. Could've easily be done rather than doing this dumb alternate story with no character accuracy at all.
Agree,they should stick with 2009 instead of this mess. They alienating that movie and original fans
@Bobo Boy Ikr? They don't care about the fans nor past lore at all.
The impression I had was that the movie failed because people are reluctant to trust the direction of the franchise. Then their reluctance was justified when they learned that the writers of the movie had no idea what made the character popular in the first place. Snake Eyes was mysterious and his lack of definitive background meant that he could be molded to the directly to the reader's/viewer's personal "tastes" in their own mind. It is similar to the handling of Samus Aran in Other M. In this movie he is just another generic martial arts/action movie protagonist.
Also the lack of ray park doesn't help it either.
It flopped because no one cares about go Joe and especially no one cares about snake eyes. It's an old franchise with not many popular movies before it and it's a spin-off
If it is like other M than I feel bad for gi joe fans
He has a background, a very good one. It's a fish out if water story.
He is a blond white dude, a Vietnam vet. After the war, he comes home, only to have his remaining family is killed, accident, I think, it's been along time, getting injured in the process, scaring his face and damaging his vice box. Stormshadow takes him into his family clan, he was his squad mate. He trains with the clan, winning them over. The Hard Master is killed, by an agent of cobra( a dude that can disguise himself as anybody). Storm Shadow in his jealousy, fights Snake Eyes, thinking he did it. The Hard Master had favored Snake Eyes. He injures Snake Eyes, but gets banished. He later finds out, the killer was from Cobra, and joins them to find out who did it and why. Snake Eyes joins GIjoe, thinking Storm Shadow went bad. That's from the comic, there is your film.
@@ardendragoon Indeed. All you need is an actor who knows the franchise, and the character, and is able to convey with subtle body movement. Tons of potential. But hey, we all know Hollywood's gone full-blown lazy and is tossing potent storylines and characters all over the floor.
The best idea I can think of for a GI Joe movie is showing the formation of Cobra. Imagine a movie where Cobra Commander slowly recruits specific members of the organization, ending the film with the complete team
We already had that in Rise of Cobra, so its either reboot the series again with Duke or make it an 80s period piece about Joe Colton the 1st G.I Joe and the Cold War Origins of the Group or even spin off to other characters in the shows and Toyline.
There is also Cobra La but you can save them for a later phase.
Also they can lean on the International nature of GI Joe in the movies and have its members have conflicts within the organisation due to them being previously on different sides and/or due to personal disagrements, for example you can make Duke and Falcon disagree with each other because they have contrasting views on how to take on Cobra Commander.
@@Pretzelcoatlus yeah but there are some good ideas in the movies that can be useful in adapting a new GI Joe reboot like the International nature of the organization and the Mars corporation but a whole lot more can be ignored.
That's a movie I'd watch.

The whole "leader of the clan and his head of security are the ones doing all the life or death missions" thing is also true of Black Panther.
I literally left the movie rooting for Storm Shadow 😂. The whole time I was like “wow Snake Eyes is the WORST.” I thought maybe that was gonna be his arc, going from a terrible person who can’t see past his lust for revenge to one trying to live honorably as atonement for how he ruined that clans life who were nice to him (taking a vow of silence to double down on it). But Snake Eyes gets no criticism and in fact gets REWARDED with a new suit for nearly killing them all and destroying everything.
And the action scenes weren’t even that good to make it at all enjoyable lol. This movie really sucked and we should’ve expected as much by the director of RIPD and 2017 Beauty and the Beast being on this movie
I don't know if it was the acting, writing, directing, or a mixture of those things but they somehow made the coolest gi joe suck. That is a monumental feat in my opinion. I don't really know much about the actor who played him so I can't say too much on that front but the character just wasn't right.
Henry Golding was more effective as the villain in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen. While more character-heavy (aka barely any action) amidst being a crime film so I get not everyone might feel that film either, at the very least the characters themselves felt more engaging in The Gentlemen while in Snake Eyes the script didn't care about how to handle its characters at all.
RIPD isn't even that bad.
I just left the theater half way through😂
Snake Eyes is ultimately the bad guy in his own film, so all of those supposed emotional beats don't garner any sympathy. Making the bad guy the protagonist in a genre movie requires a lot more work.
yeah all I think of Snake eyes is that he's the annoying villain all along. worst than the stupid mini boss in the movie which is trash and the whole plot is just braindead half way. I noticed this because I fell asleep after 10 minutes in the movie.
R rated Snake Eyes with some heads flying and it would have done decently.
tell you the truth I don't remember when sneak eyes got introduced to me as a kid.
All i remember is a ninja standing in the background that would accompany the GI Joes from time to time.
i don't remember him actually doing anything.
Storm Shadow was a bit more iconic for me
I think I was more interested in the bat bots. rather than snake eyes
Why couldn't snakes eyes ask storm shadow to search for his dad's killer? I bet with the manpower and resources he had he could have done it.
Because...
logic? pffft not in Hollywood
Thats too much common sense bro CHILL!
righttttt?! i'm like,too much stupid nonsense in this movie.motivation also keep jumping like a frog. no base attachment for character also. plus the granny is the real villain,she fking create 2 villain in a row. fkin stupid granny also flying when she almost got snapped by the stone,WTF

Do we really need origin stories for action figures? Why can't I just watch Snake Eyes doing cool ninja stuff against faceless Cobra henchmen for 90 minutes?

@@autobotstarscream765 Everyone else knows who I'm referring to except you and some other kids.
The fact that snake eyes finds out the villain works for cobra, but still decides to betrays the Arashikage clan by stealing the jewel. Is the reason why Tommy is expelled from the clan and striped his birth right to lead the clan. Is also the reason why the Arashikage clan is attacked leading to countless deaths. Like how is he even considered a hero, by all account should be the villain.
Even in the theater I remember thinking "really?" when I found out what the stone can do. I mean, yeah, that would have been revolutionary hundreds of years ago, but nowadays that can be more or less replicated by any number of weapons. What makes this stone special now, beyond it's symbolism? It's like they needed a Mcguffin and just didn't think too deeply beyond that.
I said the same thing. They have these things called missiles.
The stone has the power of the sun though? What missle on earth do you know that gains its powers from the sun?

Please never stop using the “okeh” meme in your edits, they’re gold 😂
Ha! My thought exactly! Love it!
Laughed out loud everytime it comes on..
Even as a kid watching GI Joe as it aired I couldn't imagine wanting a live action movie about any of the characters solo, let alone present day. The best GI Joe movie is the animated one and it's good because of the ensemble Avengers feel and the animation and it does this ingenious unexpected storyline with Cobra Commander. There are some cool GI Joe characters but none enough to hold up a 2 hour movie by themselves, it's just silly to me make movies about these characters.
The editing is hilarious. Great job
“Oh, I have a good idea, let’s market the hell out of the iconic suit in the trailers, merch and posters, even though it only makes a total of 5 seconds of screen time, that won’t give up fans hopes”
I'm an 80's baby, and I watched GI JOE as a child and tbh Storm Shadow was the cooler ninja whose toy you wanted to have.
That part at the end of the fight in the warehouse, when our 'heroes' casually run past a whole crew of armed henchmen who just stand there watching and let them escape.. Cinema gold..
Editing on this video is top tier. Respect!
You don't need to have a widely recognizable franchise to make a film popular. Just MAKE...THE FILM...GOOD.
John Wick and The Raid don't come from pre-established franchises but made a killing with audiences. You create a new franchise by focusing on cool shit and executing them right.

This was directed by the same guy who did "R.I.P.D", which you also covered. But what I was really surprised to find out is, he wrote and directed a film titled "The Captain" that was pretty well received and made with quite a bit of passion. So I guess he's a decent filmmaker when he writes and directs his own vision, but tends to be handed shitty scripts by Hollywood.
Yep, he also did the acclaimed drama “Time traveler’s wife” and also did the awful Divergent sequels
@@charlespuruncajas9663 I think fell asleep during one of the Divergent movies in the theater.
@@charlespuruncajas9663 by what standard was that movie "acclaimed"?
Did anyone else notice that the Snake Eyes actor spoke in a British accent when things got more serious or when he whispered?
You know it really sucks they race swapped the guy. It was honestly more interesting for him to be a Caucasian who found himself adopted into Japanese culture becoming a ninja and later some how becoming a mute.
I always thought Snake Eyes was a half Japanese - half Caucasian orphan/outcast adopted by a Ninja Clan and chose to be mute - Sort of like they portrayed him in Rise of Cobra

GO broke
It's supposed to be became ninja after his vocal cord broke. Not after he became ninja

I know the other gi joe films were not a masterpiece or anything , but the snake eyes backstory from the original gi joe was so much better , this is just so stupid. Dear god.
Thats why I was so confused, like, why make a movie for him?
@@theguardian1993 exactly man, when I first saw the trailer I was thinking “maybe its gonna be the same but more in depth” or that it was mistake or something but when I saw what it was, I knew the movie was doomed
@@pietrochemello7691 imo, if the movie delved into the backstory already established in the other movies and used it to actually develop the character, it could have worked as a snake eyes movie
@@theguardian1993 couldn’t agree more man
@@theguardian1993 Probably. But any fan was automatically turned off by the fact that you could see his face and he spoke.
My biggest disappointment in this film was that I felt like I'm not watching a G.I. Joe movie.
In my experience, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's like the first one, they bought a script, changed character names, and slapped the GI Joe logo on it.
Seriously though, did anyone actually expect this movie to succeed?
True, its a "prequel" of two bad movies.
The way Snake Eyes said "roll!" killed me man😆😆😆😆😆😄😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣0:04-0:07
I forgot this film even existed. It shows how much people cared about GI Joe this year.
At least the older movies had some actors like Dwayne Johnson who could bring attention to a more general audience.
that one has bruce willis in there too i think
It didn't even need a recognizable actor for me imo (and I've seen Henry Golding in better films like The Gentlemen anyway), just acceptable action choreography and a straightforward story.. but nah, the opening minutes from this film already showed that it was going to be meh, the script didn't care much for how it wants to portray the characters.. it starts by showing how important his dad was to his life but then the rest of the film discards that, makes Snake Eyes be like an idiot by not showing like even flashbacks or additional moments talking about his dad that would blindside him to trust a guy that claims to know his killer quick, then tries to be clever with the twists and all between working for one guy and being betrayed and all that, then has an arbitrary fire stone that wasn't established properly for the extent of its power, there are more but I already gave this film too much time already than it didn't deserve.
Oh and Snake Eyes is supposed to be a mysterious figure period
Snake eyes feels like that movie who's got a franchise that flopped but is still desperate for a comeback, but made it worst lol
Tried to watch it, stopped halfway, soo bad bad 90s shaky cam footage!Blair Witch Project inspired the cinematographer!
Just do a crossover with the horses. Yes the cartoon horse show would have actually had two fanbases.
This movie dropped the ball so hard. It took an entire film to put him into his iconic suit. Waited the entire film today to see the suit. He should have been in the suit the entire movie hide his face make him mysterious like he should always be
Thank you as always for the great content!
They made an origins movie for a character who's famous for never talking, and not only had him speaking through the whole movie which...okay, fine, if they actually explained why he either took a vow of silence or lost the ability to speak for one reason or another (either way works depending on the continuity) by the end of the movie, but they...just...never do.
*what*
It's not suppose to be authentic. They used the GIJoe name and characters for brand recognition. Nothing about this movie is GIJoe besides the names
@@fisher2536 Yeah that's...kind of the problem.
Not just not talking, but never showing his face either. In fact, the GI-JOE thing about this movie, was the promotion.
my main issue why is snake eyes asian? He was white dude in show and comics, chop this up to today's stupid social climate when its actually more racist have asian dude do martial arts stuff, hmmmm
Sequel baiting movie.
There is nothing worse for a blockbuster movie to be outperformed by Shamalan…
It goes how standards are these days. I hate to admit it, but this makes "The Last Airbender" (film) watchable.
@@donutbevil9669 LMAO hell no. Don't even go there AT ALL. There is no "hate to admit it" because there's NOTHING to admit at all there. The las airbender is NOT "watchable" at all, even chidlren downright hated that movie completely. This movie has big issues and forgetable but it least it had cool fight scenes, great sets and set design, solid acting, decent dialogue, and great cgi overall. Last airbender has NONE of that and fails in everyway imaginable in terms of filmmaking/acting and writing/storytelling. Don't praise that movie airbender in the slightest as that airbender film was so horrible, it got kicked out of the kid's choice awards and that's not exactly the high end award setting.
@@Gadget-Walkmen I know.😒
@@donutbevil9669 if you know then why the HELL would even try to even say that the piece of trash film last airbender is even close to watchable in the slightest. Not even for comparison.
The only movie that's worse than that is birdpedmic.
@@Gadget-Walkmen As an ATLA fan I am equally furious .
I miss when Gi Joe was cool historically accurate soldier uniforms now its this weird superhero thing....idk maybe try a historical film that is kinda on the sillier kid friendly side but that is too much to ask of the movie industry.
G.I. Joe is a franchise that has lots of potential. Hell I consider G.I. Joe Retaliation to be one of the best in the franchise and say all you want about it, at least it's entertaining and actually enjoyable. With Snake Eyes, they got a bunch of things wrong as far as the story goes but the action is actually pretty cool.
For me, what can work to make this even better is to actually build on the 3 core values of Snake Eyes character which is Silence, Nobility, and Warrior and have the movie be about how he has to choose between either A. Be a member of the ninja clan and learn how to be a noble and kind warrior and let go of wanting revenge or B. Continue work for the Yakuza to bring them the McGuffin and get revenge on his dad's killer. Have the moments where Snake Eyes trains also have him train with Storm Shadow and give character development to have them actually bond kind of like brothers. But ultimately his thirst for revenge gets the better of him and he trades the stone for the killer who actually isn't so alive nor held hostage, instead it's an ambush where it's revealed that Cobra ordered the hit on Snake Eyes dad and they like taunt him on being alone before memories of Storm Shadow flash and Snake realizes what he's done and leads into the 3rd act finale. Make the movie about Snake Eyes essentially becoming that silent and noble ninja we all love today while also feeling the regret he does when Storm Shadow renounces him rather than what we got here.
YESSS!! Exactly. Like at the very very very least he should be silent, noble, and a warrior. That's literally the character. If he's not those three or any one of those three, then he's not snake eyes.
The second i saw the trailers I knew this movie would flop
Well no it because of the delta Variant

1:21 Nice to see Tyler finding some extra work on the side. 😂
I thought snake eyes took a vow of silence after his master was murdered. I thought this origin movie was supposed to show how...never mind.
He was in an explosion (helicopter crash) that destroyed his vocal cords and disfigured his face.
That's why he never show his face and couldn't talk.
@@ristopaasivirta9770 at least in the previous gi joe movie, the backstory showed that, snake eyes and storm shadow were trained under the same master since they were a kid. And their master was killed by one of cobra operative that can change his appearance. And from that we thought that was his backstory and the reason behind him not talking. This movie just completely threw that backstory out if the window for no reason.
@@bonjour7641 I read a lot of the GI Joe comics when I was a kid. Haven't really seen any of the movies.
Shame really. I've always loved the GI Joe universe and characters, but I dunno why on earth they wanna change so much stuff for the movies.
@@bonjour7641 All of the movies got Snake Eyes origin wrong. Snake Eyes didn't go to Japan until his early twenties. He was a US Army Ranger who lost his family in a car accident, and that's when he went to Japan with his Army buddy, Tommy, who was also a Ranger. Tommy and Snake Eyes met in the Rangers, not as kids. And there was no vow of silence. Snake Eyes lost his voice saving Scarlett's life during a helicopter accident.
@@44excalibur didnt know that, at least thats what the movies showed us. But that one sounds more plausible
It's amazing how similar this and Mortal Kombat reboot are.
This made mortal kombat look good and MK was complete rubbish!
but the mortal kombat movie was good
what the 2020 movie it was good
Yeah the mortal Kombat movie was good, definitely better than the original. I think it only misstep was that we never got to see the actual tournament but that's what sequels are for.
Smooth ad transition, my dude! I dig it!
This one is easy. Kids don't know or aren't invested in the character and adults who grew up with GI Joe didn't like the "artistic liberties" the studio took with the character and back story.
Storm shadow was the best character, but they still managed to make his exile unwarranted.it ddnt carry weight.
Very true. He was more determined to make things right than anyone. What she did was bs 🤦🏾♂️
I love that blockbusters now need to have effort put into their stories if they don’t want to flop
Why can't they just put G.I. Joe:Cobra comic book on the screen? It's such a good story and lots of action, a bit of James Bond vibe with grey morality, it would hold on the big screen
It's another example of not using the source material. Why ignore what already worked? The actual origin of Snake Eyes is pretty good stuff.
Also worth mentioning that having very little to no blood feels really weird for a movie full of swords.
GI Joe is always gonna be a kid-teen franchise soley to sell toys so that's why theres no blood
@@bryanross1838 then make an animated movie. This movie already exists and actually has some blood in it in the animated world. The problem with no blood here isn't the same as in a movie about guns. A gunshot is really easy to ignore the amount of blood there should be because of the small wound. I watched a man's get disemboweled in this video with zero blood
Yeah no kidding. They carve through like 70 extras in the final fight and then it cuts to them being surrounded and the swords are still squeaky clean.
Should have been an r rated movie tbh, make it more gi joe.
Two most important lessons I got from Filmento movies is, the important of building up to things, and that you need realistic goals and actions for the main character regardless of how much cool stuff you place around him.
Thank you for the review.
Now we know...
And knowing is half the battle.
One thing that really stuck out to me too is snake eyes is suppose to be this invincible and skilled character who can not loose to anyone. But like there is nothing in the entire movie suggesting this other then someone saying that to him. First fight scene a big dude beats the crap out of him and snake manages to not die by choking him with a chain out of luck, then he fights the Yakuza who flop around like fish you wouldn't know they were using swords. Then he gets beat up by the head of security until he cheap shots her while she's on a phone call with her back turned at no point in this movie does it suggest he was ever taught to or learned how to use a sword even then he gets these random skills which still dont help him much against any main bad guy who also has a sword and he has to rely on his tricky chain tying skills to beat the main bad guy cause he can't use a sword and have the big snake at the end eat the bad guy he just is not event really a protagonist just a pawn to move the story.
Exactly! Snake Eyes is supposed to be borderline unbeatable or at least individually incomparable. Silent ninja with unparalleled skill. This guy could be any other protagonist, but not snake eyes. They didn't care at all about the character from the comics and cartoons which is what made him iconic.
Snake Eyes should've been a brutal rated-R film with the style of The Raid. The Raid did it with like...under a 10M dollar budget. Why can't others?
Plus it would've been so much cooler if Snake Eyes simply kept his mask on.
Because some people think they can make movies.
Sigh. They're getting soft.
Sorry, but that wouldn't work due to the fact that Snake-Eyes is not a ruthless anti-hero.
@@T-800I Neither is Rama from The Raid.
Making it rated r wouldn't have made the movie better
Wait, this is a new movie? Everything about this screams "Old Movie" for me, huh.

From Henry Golding's voice cracking to Storm Shadow's constant fits and emotional outbursts, I just wanted the grandmother to order all of them to commit seppuku. The little girl I was, who loved learning about ninja, samurai, and Snake Eyes, could have done a better job making this movie. That same little girl who watched House of Flying Daggers could have seen how bad the fight scenes were in this movie. I don't know which was worse, this or the Mulan reboot.
The only good thing about Snake Eyes was Andrew Koji’s Danny-san.
I would watch a Storm Shadow origins movie.
Man that guy killed it in the Warriors show too, I legit only watched this movie cuz of how much I love that guy.
And then they would ruin Storm Shadow too
I thought I could watch Iko Uwais in anything, I even watched that shitty netflix show, but a big no on this. I'll watch martial arts scenes on youtube some day.
And that guy from Warriors is fucking awesome too.
they just ruined one of the greatest warrior/badass of all time . the only thing that was good was andy koji and his storm shadow .
I don't even know GI Joe that well and watched like an episode or two as my childhood friend watched the cartoon.
Even I could tell that Snake eyes was never meant to be a main character and his identity should have never been disclosed at all. It feels like they were more inspired by Genji from Overwatch than the comics.
Don't degrade genji like that
@@Infinitystar225 🤣🤣🤣
Funny thing is his identity was shown in the comics, cartoons and toys
He was a blond hair white dude, a veteran of a war that was injured and became mute. He learned ninja shit from a master that storm shadow killed. That's it, that was the story
god these videos just keep getting better and better
I'll note that I'm a big fan of the G.I. Joe brand and particularly the comics. I had no idea this was coming out until I saw this video on it's failure.
"The killer never rolls the dice themselves so how could the Dad lose the game"
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure when the player rolls snake eyes in Craps he automatically loses no matter what
Like hitting 22 at blackjack, you just lose. Apparently Filmento isn't a gambling man.
Ok but what if the killer also rolls them?
@@humanweapon100 The killer is the house, he doesn't roll. For the dad to win, he has to roll a 7 or 11on the first "come out" roll, or the same number on subsequent rolls before rolling a 7. Rolling a 2, 3 (in Vegas rules), or 12 on the come out roll (called craps, or snake eyes in the case of a 2) is an automatic lose. Have you never played craps before?
@@DikaWolf I haven't actually. Thanks for the explanation, I understand now.
I would like to point out that one thing I’ll give the movie credit for is the cleverness of using a weighted dice for the snake eyes thing. No matter how you roll it it will land snake eyes
I didnt even know this already came out, just heard about it once like 2 months ago and thats it
Loool same here. And even then, I couldn't give two sh*ts about seeing it.
You are miles ahead of me, then. I didn't even knew this was coming out.
@@adisonnanet Same
it was on movie theaters like 2 days, lol
Take a mysterious, silent ninja in a super-cool outfit who never shows his face and always acts righteously... but turn him into a ninja we know everything about, talks all the time, doesn't really act like a hero and only give him a cool outfit in the last 5 minutes of the movie... also pick an actor who wants his face to be shown in 99% of the movie. What could possibly go wrong?
