 Snake Eyes G.I. Joe Origins. Hey what's up guys it's Josh here today I want to do a little movie review on a movie called Snake Eyes from 2021 and it's like a G.I. Joe origin story now. I never really played with G.I. Joe's as a kid I don't really know any of the terminology I don't know if it was a show. I know they did a couple movies back in the day but I was going over to my buddy's house and we're looking for some action movies to put on and we watched the trailer for Snake Eyes and we're like let's put this one on and I knew something was up about this movie because the trailer looked really interesting and really good and then it was rated so poorly on IMDb like wow I think it was like a 5.5 which means it just really was trash kind of so I don't know how the trailer could show such good action but then it'd be that much of a letdown I gotta check it out. The story is like the this origin story of Snake Eyes and I guess he's in the G.I. Joe universe I don't really know if he's a good guy or a bad guy I assume he's a bad guy but I could be completely wrong. Snake Eyes' dad gets killed in like the very beginning scene and that kind of stirs something up inside him and then they cut several years later and there's like several groups of people the Yakuza other groups of people good bad so he's kind of getting mixed in with all these as he's figuring out you know who he is as Snake Eyes. Alright guys let's jump into the prose of this movie the prose is that it had a few good action sequences and I would say also that the last 30 minutes or so were okay it definitely took a while to wind up and really get you engaged I actually thought that they were going to kind of throw this whole movie away or it was just really not going to hit but by the end things did crank up a bit I did appreciate some of the action sequences and I just overall liked the ending a lot better it did have some high quality action especially you look in that trailer it has to have some action so there was some good action and I did like the end but unfortunately that's where the prose end. Alright guys let's jump into the cons of this movie the cons is that Snake Eyes in this movie is kind of a joke I think they kept him in this ineffective stage for too long in the movie I mean obviously if you have somebody starting from the bottom and going to the top they need to have some challenges you know they're not going to just be the best right away at the beginning but I just felt like for most of this movie Snake Eyes is kind of like a failure he's kind of just like a loser other people are much more respectable much more serious much more strong than him pretty much the whole movie so it was kind of hard to even get behind Snake Eyes for that reason and then another con was like really close up Jason Bourne style action scenes now I think a lot of other people are going to complain about this but it's these really really close up jump shots and you see a bunch of stuff and I think it was really good when it first came out because it was a little unique it almost felt like you're just seeing this aggressive fight but nowadays it's just really cheap and you can't see anything so a lot of the action scenes were just thrown away just because of that and then the last con I had was that it should have been about 20 minutes shorter it was about two hours this movie really really dragged it felt like it didn't even have like almost a story at all like technically it does but you just I felt like I was just seeing random scenes with just a hint of story in the background and if you're really paying attention you could kind of piece something together but it wasn't like a story you could just understand right away 20 minutes would just help with that extra length it would help Snake Eyes you know get to where he needs to be faster because this had probably a decent budget usually the higher the budget the more scenes they shoot and then they have more scenes the more they want to put in the film to make it two hours so anyways guys should you own stream or pass this movie I would go with a hard pass personally but did you enjoy this movie whereas there's some redeeming aspects that you found with it again I did enjoy the ending but overall this was just a kind of a big waste of time I really did like the ending of this movie just everything else just completely fell flat but what did you think am I right am I wrong did you like Snake Eyes did you like the old gi jose I actually looked up the old gi joe movies and they're rated pretty poorly as well so I don't know how much better they're going to be but anyways guys thank you guys so so much for watching this video it means so so much to me you guys are the best I'm having a great day out here hopefully having a great day at home see you all in the next video peace
