What movie deserves a REBOOT?
Harry Potter. Star Wars prequels and sequels
Snake Eyes
Ava-fckin-tar. The last airbender
Bird box 📦 it was only cool the first time you watched it and it’s all spoiled the next time you watch it
He-Man and Thundercats. Proper ones.
I know that Snake Eyes is like the hero of the film, but does anyone think that this version of Snake Eyes is bad guy and Tommy’s the good guy ?
totally agree
Same
Exactly how I felt storm shadow seemed like the good guy
@@noahd4039 exactly
I honestly felt bad for Tommy lol. He got done dirty
Oh my god I totally agree. Tommy has so much more character potential and they did him SO WRONG 😭😭😭
Maybe that's the point
Which one tommy?
@@SlovenCathrin the white suited one
Its not too bad he has his moments. but his character would have been better if it was more consistent through out the story with acertain someone's main traits.
(Hope that wasn't confusing)
Honestly, justice for Storm Shadow. Snake Eyes did that man dirty
it's silly they changed the story like that. Bad enough as it was in the other movie, let alone this which is so far from the actual origins that it's shocking.
@@merakfirgun1071 It definitely felt like they wrote a script that was independent from GI JOE, but then the studio wanted to make it part of a franchise, so they tacked on GI JOE characters after the fact
I would rather watch Storm Shadow: Cobra Origins instead of Snake Eyes. Honestly Andrew Koji was just more interesting and fun to watch. Also I didn’t like how Akiko kept going from not trusting to saving Snake Eyes back to not trusting then to just save him again.
Agreed, I felt Henry Golding was pretty bland while Andrew Koji stole the whole film for me.
its call tsundere 😂😂😂
Who was Aikio supposed to be? Jinx? and why did she have a British accent?
Exactly. I don’t think Golding is a good actor. Very bland, no charisma at all. Just a pretty face
@Janta banta For the ladies he is tho 😂
I feel so bad for tommy he didn’t deserve to be kicked out honestly like I watched it in theaters yesterday I literally couldn’t believe and like the grandma was shocked that he chose to leave when he’s been trained his whole life to lead and then he makes one mistake (besides trusting snake eyes) and he can’t lead? That sucks and I felt for him honestly
That's the thing he wasn't expelled he was just removed from being the next leader but what I really want to know is where's jinx and how will she tie into the next arc
They did him dirty . The old grandma should've made an exception
@@mikeadams7904 Why did they even change that story around? There was never any grandma. The Hard Master was Tommy's uncle and the Soft Master was the Hard Master's brother and they and the Blind Master were who ran the clan. Who the fuck was this grandma ?? So stupid.
The whole ;point of Storm Shadow joining Cobra in the original was to infiltrate them to find out who killed his uncle.
Why rewrite shit that doesnt need to be rewritten?
@@budgiecat2885 gotta put in powerful women, cause otherwise they will call you sexist now a days. I agree about changing it pointlessly like this though.
@@merakfirgun1071 nowadays even powerful men can be powerful women if they suddenly feel like identifying as one that day.
Can’t believe it’s been 8 years since retaliation came out.
Yeah. That one sucked too.. and the first one wasn't even that good to begin with..
@@digimon3522 damn i guess i am the only one enjoying that.. Snake eyes suit in first one sucked but other than that.. I enjoy both films.
@@superduperman6535 I really liked the 1st one and loved the 2nd.I’m yet to watch snake eyes
I think it's awesome that they cast Andrew Koji in this movie. He truly is an amazing martial artist. And if you haven't seen him in the Bruce Lee inspired TV series Warrior, then you're doing yourself a disservice as he plays a character that's so quintessentially Bruce Lee in his martial movements, personal interests and speaking cadence that I knew he'd make it as an action guy here in America from episode 1.
That nose flick gets me every time
WARRIOR IS FANTASTIC
It's not a good movie at all.
Andrew Koji was the only reason I paid money to watch this in the theater.
Would have made a great Shang chi
It should've been a Storm Shadow movie because Koji stole the show and was a far more interesting character.
I’ve been watching his career closely ever since I watched Warrior on hbo max
Agreed
Was I the only one that was pissed that Storm Shadow was right the whole time and everyone just decided he was a villain?
The Baroness does steal the show a lot, Tokyo from Money Heist sure is super charming.
finally someone who said it, hopefully this opens her up to future roles cause imo she WAS baroness looked exactly like her besides the shorter hair, Scarlet on the other hand, sure the girl looked the part but god the actress acting was horrible
@@CJ-uz6qf i don't think that Samara Weaving is a bad actress at all. Have u even watched any of her movies? Shes a great actress! She only had like 8 to 10 minutes of screentime but i thought she did well with so little she was given,but yeah, i get what u mean!! Btw even Baroness wasn't even that great either! Both Scarlett and Baroness scenes seem too forced to me. Tbh they didn't even need to be in the movie! This is coming from a guy who really loved these two actresses!
hi, where did you watch it???
@@CJ-uz6qf hi, where did you watch it???
@@digimon3522 hi, where did you watch it???
Thank you thank you thank you! I came out of Snake Eyes loving Tommy. Snake Eyes just disappointed me with every decision he made. I was so upset I didn't pay attention to the fact that Tommy would become the villain next because I just wantedhim to be okay. I'll watch the second movie just for him.
God, if there is one thing that gets my goat with Hollywood Studio work sometimes, it's taking actors who actually know how to do martial arts and such and chopping it up to pieces to a point where they might as well be covering for stunt doubles anyway. God, stuff like this just makes me all the more grateful stuff like "Nobody" can be exceptions to the rule, not even having traditional fighters, but they put the effort in to make it shot and acted convincingly.
Rod, 'Nobody' was great. I think the story to the film-how he went through the same emotions and similar circumstances and the two years of training before they even began to shoot-made it even better.
100% agree I left more interested in and rooting for Tommy than the main character lol
Andrew Koji is phenomenal in the series Warrior.
Yesssss!!!
I was so happy to hear that there will be a third season! 🙌
@@mocuishle1028 SAMEE!!! I can't wait
my friend was one of the fight choreographers (the dude with the toothpick in his mouth who just dies right after yelling "who are you?!" to Akiko in the back alley scene) in this movie but i feel so bad for him and his team cuz the filmmakers literally fucked everything with the goddamn earthquake shaky cam and jump cuts
Hollywood does it all the time. Which is why I weas surprised at that one Daredevil Netflix hallway fight scene. Its rare when they get it right.
They all need to watch that one short documentary on KRplus where Jackie Chan instructs you on how to film a proper action scene.
@Brupcat 100%
The movie would be so much better if the action wasn't EXTREMELY close-up, fast-cut editing the entire time. Everything was good, but they chose the wrong director.
hi, where did you watch it???
Yea... I think everyone who saw this ends up wanting to root for Storm Shadow.
"they didnt want him to one up the star" maybe Iko should have been the star... Which is sadly what can be said about every movie he is in
True I like that hard master he's good every time I see him.
I support this message. I literally cheered in the theatre when I saw him in the movie
Was thinking the same thing
@@mustafa8920 Him being the Hard Master made no sense . Hard Master is supposed to be Tommy's uncle and head of the clan and it is his death which is what motivates Tommy to join Cobra to find out who did it.
Instead they put some grandma who never existed before as the clan leader. Muh feminism probably.
Also Henry Golding acted more like Firefly than he did as Snake Eyes. (yes Firefly was a renegade Ninja who was manipulative but still had a code. This is why Zartan was the one who killed the Hard Master as Firefly refused to do it)
fucking stupid movie
@@budgiecat2885 You HAVE the POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idk who Hollywood waste more Tony jaa or iko if I was them I'd never work on an American film again lol.
Iko for sure
@@digontozahid it’s easy money for Tony and Iko, and half the work and with that money, they get to make more of their passion projects.
Not sure if it's been confirmed but Tony is supposed to be in Expendables 4. Hope he gets a good role. Expendables isn't great but it is dumb and fun to see these Hollywood legends together in one movie.
Hollywood does not know what to do with Asian talents. They just end up in bad cameos or Asian cinema rip-offs. But at least they get good paycheck for these embarrassment of movies.
Storm Shadow was easily my favorite part of the film and commanded every scene he was in. Doesn't hurt that his character was in the right the entire time.
Totally was rooting for Tommy in Snake Eyes. Spot on take on this reboot!
I think the Scarlett and Baroness team up was the best part
Yea lets just follow tommy. He was the best part.
of course
"HENRY GOULDING?!" 😂😂😂😂 Idk why but that made me laugh really really hard
3:03 honestly, I relate to this. writing comes in a few ways, whether its I Have A Plan, Yes This Is An Excuse For Something Else, It's All Jazz and I'll Cross That Bridge When I Get There.
Rememeber the movie Dragonball Evolution? I once emailed the writer and he apologized to me lol
Turned out his original plan for the movie was nothing like what it ended up being. Lack of control
@@budgiecat2885 really? What was the story originally? What happened? Do you have video or post about it?
This review is really good well researched and constructed keep up the awesome videos
Could you do a review on Warrior on HBO?!?! It has Tommy from this movie as one of the main characters
Yes, I need a solo Storm Shadow movie with the same actor!
Director clearly didn't know what to do with guns so it's just pew pew pew u dead.
But it was nice to see Haruka Abe in a big budget movie.
love your editing bro
Henry Golding is my dream man ❤
Tell him he needs to hide his British accent better when playing as an American. Andrew Koji hid his British accent better as Storm Shadow.
They need to go back to what gi Joe is, Commandos. Snake eyes was a recon infantryman and so was tommy, they served together in Vietnam. After the war they both went to Japan and went to go train . But they are both combat veterans and that’s why they can never really kill one another, it’s because of the trauma they both shared in Vietnam.
I love Andrew koji…he kill it in the show warrior
He’s up next for great Asian action actor
I enjoyed the movie from beginning to end! Much better than the previous live action Joes. I loved Snakes character development. Storm Shadow was the MVP of the movie though. He was fantastic and he is potentially one of my favorite villains now. I'll take my replica of morning light!
Snakeyes had no development. He lied from the beginning until the end. Many death and destruction were in his bloody hands.
@@brianng8350 it’s his origin! What do you expect from someone with no formal upbringing who is bent on revenge!
I personally would’ve loved Iko in the leading role he’d kill playing a non verbal martial arts badass!
SO TRUE! I get why Tommy was so mad. It's probably never gonna happen but I hope Tommy's get his own film.
i'm more confused that snake eyes went from a silent white boy in the first 2 movies to a little japanese boy in this one before growing up to be a fighter with a british accent?
Yeah he got White washed in the first two lol
@@neweden8755 no Snake Eyes has always been the ‘white guy is better at [thing] than the natives’ trope. Karate was crazy popular at the time but anyone actually Japanese was (if they weren’t being confused for other ‘Asians ’) more likely to be with the villains. GI Joes was super USA nationalism, all the bad guys had accents even if they didn’t say who they were (just ‘other’) so a white (often blonde haired blue eyed) Snake Eyes wasn’t white washed, just very 80s.
@@neweden8755 Snake Eyes wasn't whitewashed. He was always white in the comics.
@@vysharra No, that's not the reason, and you don't know what you're talking about. First of all, Larry Hama actually based Snake Eyes on a real person, someone Hama knew during his time serving in the Army during the Vietnam War named Robert Light of the US Army 1st Airborne Division. Robert Light was a blonde haired, blue eyed white man. Second, Larry Hama himself stated that Snake Eyes “had to be white" because Storm Shadow was actually the one going through the redemptive story arc where he became a hero, and Hama based Storm Shadow on himself. Snake Eyes and Scarlett were his main romantic storyline and the emotional core of the GI Joe story with Snake Eyes as a tragic figure. It had nothing to do with any of that crap you mentioned.
Finally, considering that there are far more white martial artists in the world(along with black and Hispanic) in MMA, kickboxing, and Olympic Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo than Asians, your argument is invalid. Marital arts are a global sport and art form now. The headquarters of the World Karate Federation is in Madrid, Spain, not Japan. It is true that a lot of traditional Asian martial artists became irritated by the rise of MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but they got over it quickly.
@@neweden8755 But he's always been white since his inception
I trying to not be bias but I just love Henry Golding 😁, He is one of the likeable actors from my country
Been waiting for you to making this since the movie came out
Yeah, I sympathized with Storm Shadow the whole time. He was a true gentleman the whole movie and yet he gets screwed over despite Snakes being the definitive asshole in all this.
Plus, Andrew Koji did an amazing job. He's my definitive live action Storm Shadow now.
I liked Haruka Abe as Akiko too, and I think she had potential, but was done dirty too.
Man I can't wait to see the movie with snake eyes and Storm Shadow Man this movie and if they do another GI Joe this is going to be incredible
This is going to be so awesome can't wait to see snake eyes two.
I'll ask again: Have you seen Andrew Koji in Warrior yet? You should!
Literally started it cause of how good he was in this. Great rec!
Great show!!! Season 3 is being produced by hbo max
@@LetMeExplain great! I hope you do an LME because I think the show could use more exposure!
waiting for season 3..I bet it will be brutal
@@JustNel IS THIS CONFIRMED?
Thank you. Everything you said is how I felt about the movie.
I love where they are taking Snake-Eyes in GI Joe franchise
We need a whole movie about Andrew Kojis’ Storm Shadow.
Also they really under-utilised Iko
THANK YOU ❤️
I mean it’s always a pleasure to see my man Iko sooo there’s that I guess haha But what I’m glad is to see y’all upload again 🥰🥰🥰
Storm Shadow baby!!
I'm shocked. TY actually recommended a channel that it knew I would sub to.
This was more of a Storm Shadow movie for me than a Snake Eyes movie. Storm Shadow was great!
This movie kinda sucked. Too many cliches and conveniences. Too much Shakey cam in the action. Snake Eyes is basically a villain. Tommy did nothing wrong.
Yea I would've let that slide if the action was better but it wasn't
well Tommy used the blood diamond he became corrupted and tried to kill kenta the clan new that tommy could not be leader and snake eyes is a man that go place to place all hes ever known was to back stab and steal. also you cant say that there is cliches because it gi joe the movie series is one big cliche. shaky cam is fine because most of the fights are everything moving around them so their would obviously there shaky cam. in conclusion enjoy the movie
@@terriblehero995 so he deserves his entire life to be ruined because he was about to kill the man that basically already destroyed the clan? Bet you are one of those people who believes that rape victims should forgive their rapists.
@@randomvideoboy1 wtf? How is rape involved. It was their number one sacred rule and he broke it..She was even lenient in not banishing him, only stripping him of his birth right. Snake Eyes on the other hand proved to be a noble warrior and the clan needed more persons like that.
@@terriblehero995 I would not say that he became corrupted
I haven't seen the movie, so I'll just ask a question after some history.
I always loved Snake Eyes. And I wasn't even all that interested in the cartoon show as a kid! But he's arguably the greatest of all G.I. Joes. In fact, it all sort of began with him!
His original origin as depicted in the comics was that he was a soldier who returned from his tour of duty to find his whole family had been killed in a car crash. It was later revealed that the same crash led to the radicalization of Cobra Commander. Yeah, no kidding.
So Snake Eyes went to Japan and joined this ninja clan where he excelled. His biggest rival was Storm Shadow, who apparently assassinated the head of the clan and went on the run, eventually infiltrating Cobra in an effort to find the real killer.
Snake Eyes went on to join the Joes. On one of his first missions he was in a helicopter accident and saved Scarlett's life, but was gruesomely disfigured and lost the ability to speak.
But setting aside the details of his classic origin story, what basically makes Snake Eyes so cool? He never talks. He never shows his face. And also, he's extremely honorable and good-natured.
Just tell me, how much of that is in this movie?
My point exactly. None. I am sick of Hollywood taking beloved characters and then butchering them beyond recognition.
I honestly enjoyed this movie. The storytelling is not a hero movie but tells us how character developments happen with one another.
Movie tells there’s no right or wrong and hero or villain cliche… it’s a matter of situations.
The last part Tomi was excluded is because of his aggressive method and potential for evil is rising.. Tomi true intentions get revealed, while Snake eyes evil actions was developed with good intentions.
There’s a story and myth like this from a Japanese folklore which I don’t remember but the main point is this about Yin and Yang..
The good can become evil and evil become good that kind of shit. LOL
“Too busy on Rosetta Stone to proteccct the stone” BARS 🔥🔥🔥
it’s a shame that this movie isn’t doing good in the box office because i think it’s great!
You seem to be the only one.
I fucking loved it man
Ya
@@playstayawake it really wasent THAT bad, it could have been better but its a good movie imo….. but to each their own
6:21 the reverse of the Nolan's brother..
I wouldn’t mind a new GI Joe franchise. I’ve loved it since I was a kid when my Dad introduced it to me.
I just hope they can make a good movie for once. I’ve loved all of them but it’s no secret they’re not the best and I’d love a big GI Joe universe
They keep changing the story around too much for it to be good. G.I. Joe has always had to deal with outside politics and trends. When the series first started in the 50's it had the wave of WWII pride still going for it as almost every other movie coming out or TV show was a war movie.
Thats even where they got the name G.I. Joe from (a movie). They even had comics.
Then in the late 60's and mid 70's, Vietnam happened which hurt the toy sales because parents were protesting against war toys. So Hasbro had to alter the toy line to focus on other themes (like scuba diving, space travel, fantasy etc) and that nearly bankrupt the company. Hasbro couldnt survive on Mr. Potato Head and Hungry Hungry Hippos alone.
Finally in the early 80's with the resurgence of U.S. patriotism due to the U.S. winning in the Olympics, the Reagan era, the bounce back from the horrible economy of the late 70's, G.I. Joe was rebooted as a smaller scale toy line, this time more actively using the comics as cross marketing by teaming up with Marvel Comics (hence Larry Hama), and later on Sunboy/Toei Animation for the cartoon. And this made them a billion dollar franchise until it all kinda halted by 1994.(when the comic run ended)
Then we got 9/11/ and the Afghan and Iraq war and suddenly the U.S. was bad again so Hasbro started to walk back the 'Real American Hero' promotion of G.I. Joe, instead, making them an international task force. This was seen in the Reloaded comics, the Sigma 6 cartoon, the Renegades cartoon, the Resolution animated movie, and of course both live action films,. and now this one.
Each time theyve been rebooting and rewriting the source material and distancing themselves further and further away from it because politics; to the point now that Hasbro doesnt even use official U.S. military licenses in their toys anymore.
And each time it got worse and worse.
Thats one of the reasons this movie sucks
Totally agree. Storm Shadow has a better story and is the actual good guy. I don’t know why they did not keep the comic origin. It was perfect compare to this.
I've read that before the snake eyes seem more like villain of the movie
1:34 I’m a new viewer and u won me over With Tim 🤣
Lisssssttttteeeeeennnnnn…..I’ve never been this early😩
Definitely felt more for Stormshadow than for Snake Eyes. You could where his rage against Snake Eyes comes from after losing everything he ever worked for to him. He was just trying to do the right thing too.
True..this movie makes me wanna watch a sequel about tommy
Storm shadow was always the cooler one we want Tommy the origin
Seems like this should have been a movie for the GI-Joe character quick kick.
A storm shadow movie would be GOATED
Storm Shadow all the way.
Nice
I feel like my homey Tommy got played. Justice for Tommy
They really waited till the end to show that badass suit for snake
Great movie, great actors!
"Who wrote this tarantino?" hahahah im using this quote so much now
are we just gonna ignore the bars he was spitting in the video
Literally thought everything you said!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s like snake eyes has become dead pool and dead pool has become snake eyes one talks and the other one doesn’t talk
Larry Hama the guest star of MASH signed off on Snake Eyes ?
I forgot they even made this movie it’s right there w Bloodshot
Impressive
As far as the fans in Kento's face... Maybe the stone can only incinerate something that the holder of the stone can see? That's how I made that scene make sense in my head as I watched it.
That stone was such a stupid ass out of left field McGuffin. G.I. Joe was never about sorcery or witchcraft. fucking dumb.
I wish we got to see the snake eyes suit more
The problem this film has story-wise more than anything else is the fact that Storm Shadow’s origin story was given to Snake Eyes. In one of the comic continuities, Storm Shadow was blamed for the death of his uncle but wasn’t responsible. Instead, it was a Cobra assassin who used one of his arrows from an earlier hunt during that day. Storm Shadow left because he believed no one would trust he didn’t do it and to join Cobra and rise through it’s ranks in exchange for finding out the identity of the real killer. Of course, Cobra’s influence and his jealousy of Snake Eyes made him do things a hero wouldn’t do, but even he eventually left his vendetta behind and joined the GI Joe afterwards.
So basically, the only real parts of Snake Eyes’ origin that are true to the material are him being a foreigner, being welcomed to the clan by Storm Shadow and his uncle, and the costume.
Well they got rid of the uncle and replaced him with a grandma who can jump 20 feet for reasons lol.
Prob trying to check more of them identity politics boxes. Cant have a man running a ninja clan in 2021. Give it to a grandma (Obasan) who dyes her hair blonde and is a moralizing hypocrite (like most SJW's these days)
Best gi Joe movie recently was gi Joe resolute
I didnt like that one either because they made Storm into some jealous evil bitch that actually did kill his uncle for petty reasons
I feel confused with Snake Eye's ability to fight with blade and sneak into that fortress, while he never had any training being a Ninja at all. LoL
I'm a big Warrior fan, think Andrew Koji kills it in that tv show.
But I cant bring myself to go cinema and watch this film.
It's a stream it from me.
Time Travelers wife IS one of the best movies of all time.. 🥺
Yeah, I fully enjoyed the movie as a Storm Shadow Origins movie
My friend and I watched Raid Redemption and Raid 2 back to back and then went to see this movie. We were disappointed…
i'll watch it for Iko Uwais
They should make the sequel a solo storm shadow film. And in the movie, they should have him fight snake eyes. And during the fight, he slits snake eyes’s throat or somehow damages his vocal cords leading to snake eyes being silent.
I love this movie
Still kinda undecided if I want to go see the movie this gave me a little bit more insight.
I watch this in theaters the fact that they advertise his suit and mask only to be in the end of the film when snake said I go after storm shadow I latterly thought it was we're gona see him fighting in his iconic suit and have his voice lost until the credits role I was what that was it and the post credit scene all it was to sell toys
Tommy has always been more interesting than SE. Always. And I love Snakes.
The new movie should be called. Snake eyes: origin story of a whiny character who spoiled by storm's family will one day become a villain and the real hero "storm shadow" will stop him.
What a way to reboot an honorable tragic character into this.
I was rooting for Tommy as well lol
Kenta had the infinity stone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and got beaten by a fan!!
Pleeeeeease watch Warrior on HBO max I think you’ll love it
I hear, rent it and keep looking at your iPhone while you browse Amazon
In my opinion???
The Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes dynamic in the last two flop movies it far better then this entire flop.
And that's saying something.
This feels like it originally was a totally different generic martial arts movie altogether and they just decided to slap G.I. Joe on it during production and change some things
Don't get me wrong I love gi joe and snake eyes but I found it refreshing probably helps I'm not a gi joe Stan
