Review of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) by Healingtoolbox — 28 Aug 2021

I'm struggling to find good things to say about this handsomely produced effort. 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.
