But remember, during the whole movie he wasnt the Snake Eyes we all know, only in the end he became that Snake Eyes. But yeah, the movie SUCKS big time!!
Snake Eyes: seeks revenge for the whole film, selfish, betrays everyone, gets the suit and title of the hero. Storm Shadow: stands for honor and justice, seeks revenge for 30 seconds, gets exiled.
its sounds more like that storm shadow is the real Snake Eyes. they should do a reveal in the end that storm shadow is the real snake eyes and Snake Eyes is Storm shadow. makes it alot better
Well for the big screen, Hollywood nailed it at John Wick and Atomic Blonde for action scenes and cinematography while The Raid is an Indonesian movie that Hollywood should take notes on shooting an action scene. And I feel like this movie could've had a better action if they just chosen a different director like Chad Stahelski, David Leitch, Gareth Evans or even Paul Greengrass who used quick cut editing and shaky cam with style that people could accept it like in the Bourne movies
Andrew Koji was done dirty in this movie. He’s a very good actor and a great martial artist. Hbo’s “Warrior” had better action scenes, I highly recommend it to everyone.
Iko Uwais too, hello The Raid anyone?? Hollywood just doesn't know how to use their martial arts talent. This bullshit shaky cam and quick cut editing is still going? Wtf Hollywood, don't they ever learn? Just send Iko and Andrew to the John Wick movies, the filmmakers know how to use their martial arts talent
The origin of SnakeEyes should've been an epic tale of 2 friends living life, then parting as enemies. Instead, we got this spit-in-the-face. Sad. ☹️🇵🇭
They just chosen the wrong director for this movie. Imagine if this movie was directed by Chad Stahelski who directed the John Wick movies or Gareth Evans who directed The Raid movies, those guys can direct action better than whoever this director is that used bullshit shaky cam and quick cut editing
Henry Golding doesn't quite fit the action role...rather a more gentlemanly type figure. The closest he could pull off was in Guy Ritchie's Gentlemen and even then the action scenes were few and far between
Lesson of the movie: "if you do bad things, then you will receive no consequences for your actions and get a promotion". Honestly, it felt like I was watching a Storm Shadow movie, not a Snake Eyes movie. If the next movie ever happens, I'm going to be rooting for Storm Shadow to kill Snake Eyes.
They have Iko Uwais, but Hollywood wasted him again with the shaky cam and quick cut editing?? Damn, Hollywood just doesn't know how to use his talent!!!!
That guy should be one of the biggest action stars right now, and yet Hollywood keeps putting him in bad movies that don’t utilize his talent at all (cough Force Awakens)
@@DaDestroyer1986 work inside China? Wdym? He's working for his own country Indonesia and Hollywood, who gives a shit what China thinks of him, Iko has talent like Jackie Chan, Hollywood just doesn't know how tf to use him even he was hired to choreograph the fight scenes for Snake Eyes but the potential was wasted due to those technical aspect
Now now...lets not get overblown. Iko is very talented, but he is no where near the same league as jackie chan. He'll be the first to admit that. The director of the raid films should be the one directing snake eyes. Too bad he's not ready to go stateside yet no matter how many times hollywood came knocking.
They Reverse-Deadpooled Him! Hollywood: "Deadpool's the murk with the mouth. Let's shut his mouth." Also Hollywood: "Snake Eyes can't speak. Let's make him never shut up." Checks out...
This couldn’t be any more “This bland action movie with this new ip and new character isn’t gonna make us money.. let’s add GI Joe and snake eyes instead”
@@cable7152 Rom was supposed to be in transformers the last knight and he also appeared in a recent x men comic so i don’t think that would be a problem
I quite like Andrew Koji as an actor and stunt performer. I HIGHLY recommend the show 'Warrior' where he's the lead character 'Ah Sahm'. BLOODY GOOD action & fighting in it too.
He was always my favorite character lol everyone likes Snake Eyes, but Storm Shadow had more character development and personality in the older cartoons and comics.
I hate the fact that a Snakes Eyes story exists in comics and other animated shows and it was badass but it was scraped and turned into a generic movie story.
It really was so well defined in the comics. I will never forget the few times the helmet came off all you saw was the back of a blonde head and people ready to pass out from his mangled face. Great story where an outsider gets taken in by the Hard Master and eventually becomes mortal enemies with his best friend Storm Shadow
"Hey let's make a snake eyes movie, without the original traits that the people know about him" who thought this was a good idea? from what I've heard - he's not a war veteran - he's not or did not even become a mute - storm shadow's "betrayal" does not even make any sense
Snake Eyes's supposed to be a silent and effective special mission soldier, with a dark past that scarred him literally. I'm not sure where they're going with this movie.
They don't care about anything other than having their own marvel style universe. They just wanted someone dressed like snake eyes in a team up movie down the line and they didn't think it would matter if they didn't act like snake eyes. Hopefully the box office for this movie ends up proving them wrong
@@fubytv731 exactly! You have a badass ninja that actually devoted himself to silence for the rest of his life. We wanted to see how that unfolded. Plus the justification of the Storm Shadow's feud.
When you say solo spinoffs funnily enough my first was Solo. Now Han Solo is a character whose interesting on his own, problem is I feel like the original trilogy told us everything we needed to know about him.
Imagine at the end of the movie, Snake Eyes gets punished for the betrayal. In exchange for letting him live and join the clan, they cut his tongue as a punishment. After that, he became the mute mysterious ninja Snake Eyes
''Yeah, let's make a Snake Eyes solo-movie and change EVERYTHING that makes this character unique and special, turn him instead into a generic Ninja/ douchebag who is backstabbing the guy who welcomes him like a brother and also shoot the action by using that crappy shakycam/200 quick cuts editing style, that has ruined modern Hollywood action movies. What could go wrong, amirite?'' It's absolutely baffling how incompentent Hollywood is. Just hire Ray Park, who played the character perfectly in the first 2 G.I. Joe movies, have him go on a solo-mission which is connected to his past, have some flashbacks who show his background story, hire a good fight/stunt coordinator to come up with some badass fight scenes. Done! It's not frikin' rocket science, you absolute hackjobs!
Producer: " Hey let's do an Origin movie about Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe! " Writer: " oh Yeah! We can finally bring His Origin story to the big screen! " Producer: " Yes, but we're gonna change everything about him and I want him to talk. " Writer: " well at least we can have him in the suit in the 3rd act. " Producer: " NOPE! I want that at the very end of the movie! " Writer: 😧
Reminds me of Kevin Smith's Superman Reborn script. Producer -John Peters: "Three things: I don't wanna see him fly, I don't wanna see him in the suit, and he has to fight a giant spider in the 3rd act."
sad part is they claimed this was based off that, I might need to read those comics again cause I'm pretty sure this had nothing in common with the comic origin.
@@el_cachorro There is nothing in the comics that correlates with this movie except maybe Storm Shadow is not a "real" villain. I agree with everyone, Snake Eyes is the bad guy in this movie with a bad last minute "redemption". I don't care about the changes they made, if only to improve the story, but they do not.
@@brianng3414 agreed. Then the reason storm shadow becomes a bad guy was so stupid and made no sense. It felt like they forgot til they were almost done filming that they was suppose to make him turn so they came up with something last second. There was so much that made no sense. Can they please just get a director who actually knows what G.I. Joe is.
As much as I trash Michael Bay, he should’ve been the one directing the GI Joe series. He did a great job with 13 Hours and handled the military aspects in the first two Transformers movies pretty well.
@@caesarspeaks who cares. its an interesting concept that could make a fantastic movie... if done well. theres lots of concepts that came from ridiculous origins that were great movies. the hollywood suit who green lit this movie probably said the same thing. they are just as unimaginative as you are.
"Hey...let's have our own Infinity Stone... worked for Marvel." Just do a grounded in reality GI Joe movie and it will be a hit. Unfortunately that will never happen.
G.I. Joe supposed to be about WAR and armies. Where's the tank battles, aerial dog fights or GIs storming the beaches. What's with all this magic stuff?
@@jcdf2 Have you seen the Gi joe animated movie? There was this secret alien race of snakes and a bunch of other weird stuff. It’s never been grounded.
@@jcdf2 there’s really 2 G.I. Joes people remember. The noble army men charging the beaches, cigars in mouth off to fight the good fight. And the giant 80s neon laser gun snake tank super powers version from the cartoon and comics. You can’t really mix both.
Snake eyes the character is a masked mute ninja - if u change that hes no longer snake eyes - some characters shouldnt be main characters - some characters only work as supporting characters
Yes but in this movie the reason he is mute has not happened. When you think about it.. Something like that shouldn't be done in the 1st act of something you want to make a franchise out of. Here is the other dilemma you have with that. You have to retcon how he became a mute. In the original. He was disfigured and his vocal cords slit during the Vietnam War. If hey went with that it would make no sense to get a somewhat young actor. So an idea for a retcon is that is disfigurement happened in any of his missions as a Joe Or they can go the route of the Hard Master being killed. This one seems a bit of a stretch since the point of Hard Masters death was to put the blame on Storm Shadow. And as you can tell Hard Master is still alive. Either way it must have been a hard. Because whichever way you do decide to make him mute. You're going to alienate the fanbase
I'm sure the mute thing will come later. This was to tell the origin of snake eyes. Before becoming a Joe. Perhaps he will take a vow not to speak until he brings storm shadow back to his conscience and ultimately back to his clan
Just came out of the theater and felt the same way. 1) This movie didn’t need any connection to GI Joe. 2) The made Snake Eyes unlikeable and you feeling sorry for Storm Shadow. What a shame, because the movie had potential.
@@Fl0k5ser I've rooted for Storm Shadow since the early 80's lol Snake Eyes is badass, but I've always thought that Tommy was the better character. Perhaps the best Joe character altogether.
Let's take a character that was cool because he didn't talk, was mysterious, badass and you had no idea who he was or why he exists. Here's an idea...let's make an origins movie!
I agree a movie about him can't work or maybe it might if he's used well and go well into his backstory and not foucs totally on him because he's actually has a well done story but idk
@@Elricsedric Why dance around the issue and just be honest? Snake Eyes is a white American comic book character, and no one wants to see him played by a British Malaysian actor, not even Asians. Snake Eyes did even worse overseas than it did in the USA.
Tommy or storm shadow had some crazy style and drip through this whole movie in white. I like how near the end I just realized who he was supposed to be. (I am a dunce)
@@mrintel10 of course the actors are good, they even have Iko Uwais to choreograph the fight scene, I wish this movie have a better director who actually understands how to direct action scenes
@@Fl0k5ser instead, we got that hack who ruined the Divergent saga, Red 2, RIPD (which is Ryan Reynolds's 2nd worst movie), and probably Flightplan (that movie's plot is cliche as hell, but Sean Bean as the Red Herring is the best part of the movie).
@@jakey14344 I thought Flightplan was fine, pretty enjoyable because of Jodie Foster and Sean Bean tho, Red was pretty good, haven't seen and have no plans to see RIPD tho, and I have no words for his Divergent movies.....His best movie in his career was The Captain, I think I'm the one of a few person on the planet that watched that movie
Hollywood kinda forgot how to tell stories that people want to hear and will remember. Oh well too much entertainment out there to be watching schlock.
The movie should have been "Storm Shadow GI Joe Origins" Snake eyes was a freakin douche the whole time and there was no motive for Akiko to help him out! They ruined snake eyes.
Honestly, if Snake Eyes had made the choice to betray Cobra earlier on and for a different reason, his character could have been likeable. But it's after he gives them the Sun Stone, and it appeared only because Cobra killed his dad. Like he didn't care about anyone except himself and his dead dad at the start, and as far as I can tell, that's how it ended, besides the whole "I have to bring Tommy back this is my fault." Which yeah, it is, so maybe he's trying to make things right but a ton of people are dead now and he, nor anyone but Tommy, seemed to blame him for it.
You should do the 'spoilers after rating' thing more often, there has been alot of movies that you reviewed that I wish you touched on some spoilers. Love your content man! p.s. if you actually read this, you should give Altered Carbon on Netflix a go (the first season's really good IMO)
I feel like they switched Snake-eyes and Storm Shadows characters up. I’m not a huge Gi joe need, but I have seen a couple of the tv shows, and every time it’s always Snake Eyes that is the one that’s all about honor, while it’s Storm Shadow that’s obsessed with something. They really messed up the whole switching sides, it takes away even more from the characters with how easy they flipped. I mean the movie started with Storm Shadow with the Joes and Snake with Cobra, then ends with Storm Shadow with Cobra, giving no proper explanation of why he’s willing to join the group that organized the attack on his home, and is some what responsible for his banishment.
I'm watching this and I'm like....I feel like Storm Shadow should be with the Joes because Snake was SUCH a prick this entire film. I thought he was going to take a vow of silence until Storm Shadow forgives him as like his punishment or something.
Actually I feel like storm shadow’s and snake eye’s roles were reversed here. Literally thought tommy should have been snake eyes and the snake eyes we got should have been storm shadow
When you were watching Bumblebee, in the beginning when he was talking did you also know that it wasn’t for you? When you saw war machine in the first iron man & he wasn’t war machine yet, did you think it wasn’t meant for you? When you saw Bucky as a regular person in Captain America, did you know that it wasn’t meant for you? Even though Bumbleebee talked in the original transformers stuff … You do realize characters have origins. Snake eye’s origin in the comics was that he could talk before he went & crashed on a plane & got his face disfigured & his throat punctured resulting in him having to keep his mask on & being mute. Origins take time sometimes, stop being impatient, you don’t even know about the character than if you think it “wasn’t meant” for you.
@@zhongxina8426 ohhhh, good call! I know it’s not easy making films but if they had just focused on delivering good action scenes than I think most fans would be happy.
Or David Leitch, say whatever you want about Hobbs and Shaw but the action scenes were pretty helmed perfectly and not to mention his astounding work in Atomic Blonde. He was also an uncredited director of John Wick. Or maybe Paul Greengrass, yeah he used quick cut editing in the Bourne movie but atleast it has style unlike this
@@Fl0k5ser When it comes to action, I'm staying away from Paul Greengrass. In fact, I blame him for thinking that should've been a standard for filming action.
Henry's "Snake Eyes" and Tan's "Cole Young" are brothers separated at birth. No one keeps damage because Karacters Kan shrug off X-Ray's. And, the disintegration stone is either Shinnok's amulet or a Kamidogu. I'll give 'em this much, there *is* a magic stone in the comic book "Arashikage Showdown" so if that's what they are doing for in the movie, points to them on gettin' som'n right, and if it's not... Guess they missed a Golding opportunity.
Anybody else thinking they only shat this project out to keep the rights to GI Joe?….similar to Fox shittin out that fantastic four reboot before caving to Disney 🙄
Paramount owned every Hasbro property. They have a long collaboration, this was never about right issues. They could make a good GI Joe movie with a better writer and director just like Bumblebee, Bumblebee was a great Transformers movie because of its writing and directing
@@tiger751 A decent point as merchandise makes the most money, but with a poor main product, poor word of mouth follows thus leading to poor toy sales. But it's not like they care anymore, they'll just blame it on the fans they betrayed
Imagine if Jeremy Jahns Reviewed Berserk, considering he liked Castlevania and the creators admitted that they want to do a Berserk adaptation and S4 had a clear Berserk Reference RIP Miura
He got bit of a supporting role in Mile 22, he's great in that movie but Hollywood wasted his fighting talent with shaky cam and quick cut editing. I'm so disappointed
@@doublep1980 actually his manager is fine, Hollywood studios offered him a role while also wanting him to choreograph a fight scene and he take it but he doesn't know that Hollywood would waste his talent again with that shaky cam and quick cut editing. His career is doing great in his own country but when it comes to Hollywood, yeah they don't know how to use him at all
@@manjimbo9830 Eh not really. Michelle Yeoh, Steven Yeun, Dev Patel, Jackie Chan, Ken Jeong, John Cho, Sandra Oh, Ken Watanabe, Donnie Yen, Rinko Kikuchi, Ming Na Wen, Riz Ahmed, Awkwafina, Brenda Song, those are the stars that's big in Hollywood nowadays, not just co-stars, even the ones that are half Asian like Natalie Portman, Gal Gadot, and Mindy Kaling are also big stars in Hollywood
@@metalgrinch I am so disappointed in him (and I say this as someone who liked Chris alot). My prediction is he makes this movie , it bombs and he comes back to doing his normally reviews while crying his eyes out 😅. I think the saddest part is his audience won't call him out.... Imagine complaining every day that you make movie reviews for a living .... Btw, I have seen some of his movies and they aren't good (let's be honest)
I mean if you liked the other 2 gi joe movies then you might still like this one. I believe Jeremy doesn't have a good opinion of the previous entries of this franchise so your and his tastes might differ quite a bit.
I honestly didn’t know that this movie was actually filmed yet, let alone released. Straight up didn’t even get recommended a trailer. Guess I didn’t miss out!
For the first time in my life i felt sick watching a movie, it felt more like i am watching a movie while there is a terrible earthquake going on. Secondly it felt like storm shadow character should have been the snake eyes removing the final credit scene altogether making Golding character staying rouge n joining Cobra as storm shadow.
What I can't figure out is "Why even bother calling it snake eyes?" The character is not blonde hair and blue eyed his face is shown and he talks.... Hollywood you can have a generic action film but when you call it something based off an already established property you kinda have to do it LIKE the property!
Larry Hama, the creator of Snake-Eyes, and yes, I'm calling him Snake-Eyes with the dash because that's how it's written in the comics (which I just started re-reading from issue one, so his origin is fresh in my mind, having just read it last week) said that he should have made Snake-Eyes Asian from the beginning and doesn't really know why he didn't, considering that Snake-Eyes became popular way before his face was revealed. In the comics, even in the flashbacks to Vietnam, Snake-Eyes was not a talker. Stormy was the talker and according to Stalker, was always talking to Snakes about his family business and hinting that Snake-Eyes would be welcome among them. This was before Snake's twin sister and parents were killed in a car crash by Cobra Commander's older brother. According to the Origins Comic, after the death of his family, Snakes went a little off the rails, roaming around, drinking and getting into bar fights. He was drunk in a bar in Texas when Stormy found him and directly offered him a place with his family but Snakes still wasn't hearing it. He nearly got killed due to walking out in front of an 18-wheeler and was saved by the man that would become Cobra Commander. Proto-CC was looking for Snakes and convinced him to help him punish the wicked and they did for a while, driving around kicking the crap out of gangs and corrupt politicians and then they found the judge that had "ruined the life of a Vietnam Vet and forced him to start drinking to excess which led to him having a car wreck and killing himself and the other family." (Paraphrased) CC wanted Snakes to shoot the judge and gave him a .45 Colt 1911 Semi-automatic to do the deed with. Snakes couldn't do it and turned the gun on CC and some things were said and Snakes ended up pulling the trigger and it clicked empty. CC had been testing his resolve and when Snakes turned on him, an unending hatred grew in CC for Snakes. Snakes cleaned himself up and went to Japan and joined Stormy and CC went off his rocker and convinced himself that Snakes was to blame for everything, including the death of his brother (not sure how he got that warped in his brain, but he did.) After Snakes became a ninja, the Hard Master was killed, Stormy saw the killer, but since the arrow used was one of Stormy's, Snakes blamed him and Stormy fled to join Cobra to discover the identity of the killer. Snakes returned to the U.S. and retired to his cabin and then Hawk and Stalker showed up and recruited him for the G.I. Joe team. Snakes didn't start wearing his trademark mask until after his first mission as a JOE, in which he got hit in the face with burning jet fuel which ruined his vocal cords and made his face into something that caused people to gag or start in fright if they saw him suddenly unmasked. He would wear rubber masks approximating his original looks anytime he had to be out of his commando suit or if he wanted to just go out in civvies with Scarlett on a date.
Plus, the character being given the title of Snake Eyes, as in his most striking feature is his eyes the eyes of a snake unshakeable focus, drive will.
this was a good review. i couldn't believe the movie ended with snake eyes still being able to speak. like how do they not cover that and call this a snake eyes origin movie?
That is what I am saying. Snakes eyes has a fantastic origin story...it is literally there handed to them on a silver platter. Larry Hama gave them the easiest lay up ever and they still flubbed it.
The reason he could not lead the clan according to the grandma was, no member of the family may use the stone, only protect it, so when Storm Shadow uses it he broke the family oath, even though I think he was justified
@@megaham1552 a supposed future leader of the clan then break the rules that he promised to respect doesn’t work. Half of the issues that “didn’t make sense” to Jeremy was all explained in earlier events & what not, it’s like he wasn’t even paying attention through the film.
@@packedentertainment2866 it’s the fact that they had a glowing stone that could blow shit up. Which we didn’t even know until over 70% of the way into the story and the fact that we didn’t know some shadow couldn’t use it. It was rushed and felt cheap to cause conflict.
Are... you referring to The Mandalorian??? I don't think that these suffer from the same problem. Or that the helmet issue even is a problem for these two properties.
@@TCR2025 and I'd say that it's still not a problem. Kylo wasn't meant to be a mystery. The Judge Dredd comparison someone else made, is a more apt comparison. But even that isn't really apt. Because it's an origin story, so it's also not going to be about a mysterious character.
It sounds like? Why not just see it for yourself. If you watch you youll clearly see its gi joe. It has gi joe action all over it but it cant gully be one BECAUSE ITS A ORIGIN. Snake eyes doesnt magically just get into gi joe right off the bat
@@xXRand0mDudeXx Totally disagree. This could be any gangster movie and the executives slap on a GI Joe or MCU label to the movie. With the magic stone, they were going to the MCU, which I think Shang Chi is going to do as well.
@@xXRand0mDudeXx Oh, tell me more about me, oh wise one... hahaha... You make so many wrong ass-umptions that this is getting funny now -like a fortune cookie or a psychic. Saw the movie Thursday.

GI Rise of Cobra was better, if not just for the ninja conflict.
I just watched it and it's still very fun.
Ain't no one going to argue with you on that point.

@@seanmalloy0528 Yeah I can agree with that.
@@seanmalloy0528 they’ve updated in other versions and it’s worked fine. Honestly, Rise of Cobra has a better origin for Snake Eyes.
I hate the fact that a Snakes Eyes story exists in comics and other animated shows and it was badass but it was scraped and turned into a generic movie story.
It really was so well defined in the comics. I will never forget the few times the helmet came off all you saw was the back of a blonde head and people ready to pass out from his mangled face.
Great story where an outsider gets taken in by the Hard Master and eventually becomes mortal enemies with his best friend Storm Shadow
"Hey let's make a snake eyes movie, without the original traits that the people know about him"
who thought this was a good idea?
from what I've heard
- he's not a war veteran
- he's not or did not even become a mute
- storm shadow's "betrayal" does not even make any sense
Snake Eyes's supposed to be a silent and effective special mission soldier, with a dark past that scarred him literally. I'm not sure where they're going with this movie.
They don't care about anything other than having their own marvel style universe. They just wanted someone dressed like snake eyes in a team up movie down the line and they didn't think it would matter if they didn't act like snake eyes.
Hopefully the box office for this movie ends up proving them wrong
I feel like Iko Uwais should have been Snake Eyes. The shaky cams probably happen a lot because the actor can't do a proper action stunt/choreographs.
@@fubytv731 exactly! You have a badass ninja that actually devoted himself to silence for the rest of his life. We wanted to see how that unfolded. Plus the justification of the Storm Shadow's feud.
@@fubytv731 straight to the dumpster trash 🗑 is where it’s going.
Every studio wants to make solo spinoffs, but the problem is most characters aren't that interesting by themselves.
For example :Iron man ,black widow,Wanda vision (got web series ) yeah I can agree on that
HEY KID! "I'mma computda." "Help computda."
When you say solo spinoffs funnily enough my first was Solo. Now Han Solo is a character whose interesting on his own, problem is I feel like the original trilogy told us everything we needed to know about him.
Thing is, Snake Eyes is an interesting character with a compelling story. These guys simply butchered it.
@@starkraven7308 I kinda like it...
Imagine at the end of the movie, Snake Eyes gets punished for the betrayal.
In exchange for letting him live and join the clan, they cut his tongue as a punishment. After that, he became the mute mysterious ninja Snake Eyes
wish it ended like that but it didn’t
Not a bad idea. Damn people would be way happier of that was the case. But I liked it the way it is.
''Yeah, let's make a Snake Eyes solo-movie and change EVERYTHING that makes this character unique and special, turn him instead into a generic Ninja/ douchebag who is backstabbing the guy who welcomes him like a brother and also shoot the action by using that crappy shakycam/200 quick cuts editing style, that has ruined modern Hollywood action movies. What could go wrong, amirite?''
It's absolutely baffling how incompentent Hollywood is. Just hire Ray Park, who played the character perfectly in the first 2 G.I. Joe movies, have him go on a solo-mission which is connected to his past, have some flashbacks who show his background story, hire a good fight/stunt coordinator to come up with some badass fight scenes. Done!
It's not frikin' rocket science, you absolute hackjobs!
"Solo mission connected to his past", so like the Black Widow movie

Producer: " Hey let's do an Origin movie about Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe! "
Writer: " oh Yeah! We can finally bring His Origin story to the big screen! "

Reminds me of Kevin Smith's Superman Reborn script. Producer -John Peters: "Three things: I don't wanna see him fly, I don't wanna see him in the suit, and he has to fight a giant spider in the 3rd act."

The Snake Eyes origin in the comics is still the best.

@@el_cachorro There is nothing in the comics that correlates with this movie except maybe Storm Shadow is not a "real" villain.

@@brianng3414 agreed. Then the reason storm shadow becomes a bad guy was so stupid and made no sense. It felt like they forgot til they were almost done filming that they was suppose to make him turn so they came up with something last second. There was so much that made no sense. Can they please just get a director who actually knows what G.I. Joe is.
Would have 100% preferred a cinematic recreation of the original comic version.
Marvel G.I. Joe #26
As much as I trash Michael Bay, he should’ve been the one directing the GI Joe series. He did a great job with 13 Hours and handled the military aspects in the first two Transformers movies pretty well.
Yes! I've been saying that for years since he fucked up the Transformer movie's..
Agreed. Truth is, Michael Bay can direct a decent film if he tries. 13 Hours and The Rock are pretty good.
Bay is a competent director. He's just not a good writer.
Not a Bay fan but 13 Hours was phenomenal. If he could only transpose that to a fantasy concept like that, it would be cool
To be fair, Rise of Cobra feels like a Michael Bay's film minus several signature motifs
"Let's turn this generic script into a G. I Joe film." That's literally what they did with "Rise of Cobra". Why does G.I Joe get no respect?!
It’s a bunch of fucking dolls
@ Transformers' movies are trash too and they don't respect the comics either
Because Hollywood has to deconstruct every hero boys grew up with because of “toxic masculinity.”

@@joe74509migo S A R C A S M
The love he has from his passionate spite is perfect.
What do you think of that? 🙁
Snake eyes the character is a masked mute ninja - if u change that hes no longer snake eyes - some characters shouldnt be main characters - some characters only work as supporting characters
"But... But... What if I want a movie centered around Ramirez from Highlander?"
Yes but in this movie the reason he is mute has not happened. When you think about it.. Something like that shouldn't be done in the 1st act of something you want to make a franchise out of.
Here is the other dilemma you have with that. You have to retcon how he became a mute. In the original. He was disfigured and his vocal cords slit during the Vietnam War. If hey went with that it would make no sense to get a somewhat young actor. So an idea for a retcon is that is disfigurement happened in any of his missions as a Joe
Or they can go the route of the Hard Master being killed. This one seems a bit of a stretch since the point of Hard Masters death was to put the blame on Storm Shadow. And as you can tell Hard Master is still alive.
Either way it must have been a hard. Because whichever way you do decide to make him mute. You're going to alienate the fanbase
@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 that will only fly if you cast the correct woman of color to play Ramirez. There can be only one.
Exactly I agree but he does have a great well done story
I'm sure the mute thing will come later. This was to tell the origin of snake eyes. Before becoming a Joe. Perhaps he will take a vow not to speak until he brings storm shadow back to his conscience and ultimately back to his clan
Just came out of the theater and felt the same way. 1) This movie didn’t need any connection to GI Joe. 2) The made Snake Eyes unlikeable and you feeling sorry for Storm Shadow. What a shame, because the movie had potential.
Yeah I feel you Bad Go Joe movie but T.Arishakage got that stone and lost control once. Still felt bad for him
True, this is a Snake Eyes movie but throughout the movie I was rooting for Storm Shadow more than Snake Eyes, kinda strange
It was awesome movie casual great visuals
@@Fl0k5ser I've rooted for Storm Shadow since the early 80's lol
Snake Eyes is badass, but I've always thought that Tommy was the better character. Perhaps the best Joe character altogether.
Let's take a character that was cool because he didn't talk, was mysterious, badass and you had no idea who he was or why he exists. Here's an idea...let's make an origins movie!
That can actually work, but you need to do it right, you need very talented writers/director and film crew, anything less and it crumbles
Actually, the comics go into Snake Eyes' backstory in great detail. It's just that Snake Eyes is a white American man, not Asian.
@@44excalibur ikr they just want diversity so bad
I agree a movie about him can't work or maybe it might if he's used well and go well into his backstory and not foucs totally on him because he's actually has a well done story but idk
@@Elricsedric Why dance around the issue and just be honest? Snake Eyes is a white American comic book character, and no one wants to see him played by a British Malaysian actor, not even Asians. Snake Eyes did even worse overseas than it did in the USA.
Tommy or storm shadow had some crazy style and drip through this whole movie in white. I like how near the end I just realized who he was supposed to be. (I am a dunce)

I bet you didn’t event watch this film, & you just heard someone say something negative & decided to join in on it & … be a follower .
it was like a reverse DEADPOOL in wolverine origins. DeadPool: Talks A lot, now doesn't. Snake Eyes: Silent, now doesn't.
The Internet is gonna have fun with that "we need to make it more intense. Alright , here we goooo! Shaky cam!"
MAN, now i'm worried about the Hasbro's Power Rangers Extended Universe.
The movie should have been "Storm Shadow GI Joe Origins"
Snake eyes was a freakin douche the whole time and there was no motive for Akiko to help him out! They ruined snake eyes.
Honestly, if Snake Eyes had made the choice to betray Cobra earlier on and for a different reason, his character could have been likeable. But it's after he gives them the Sun Stone, and it appeared only because Cobra killed his dad. Like he didn't care about anyone except himself and his dead dad at the start, and as far as I can tell, that's how it ended, besides the whole "I have to bring Tommy back this is my fault." Which yeah, it is, so maybe he's trying to make things right but a ton of people are dead now and he, nor anyone but Tommy, seemed to blame him for it.
Exactly I was sitting in the theater begging someone to kill him he was such an unlikable dick!
@@playex3264 Haha, he was a traitorous piece of work.
You should do the 'spoilers after rating' thing more often, there has been alot of movies that you reviewed that I wish you touched on some spoilers. Love your content man!

Aye, I watched S1 of Altered Carbon. Good show. The investigation part was kinda cliche but it was alright.
@@mr_0n10n5 yeah i feel u, the second half of the season made it for me. the world is also very interesting (very blade runner-esque)
I feel like they switched Snake-eyes and Storm Shadows characters up. I’m not a huge Gi joe need, but I have seen a couple of the tv shows, and every time it’s always Snake Eyes that is the one that’s all about honor, while it’s Storm Shadow that’s obsessed with something.
They really messed up the whole switching sides, it takes away even more from the characters with how easy they flipped. I mean the movie started with Storm Shadow with the Joes and Snake with Cobra, then ends with Storm Shadow with Cobra, giving no proper explanation of why he’s willing to join the group that organized the attack on his home, and is some what responsible for his banishment.

@@BraveLionheart andrew koji definitely steals the show
@@IntuitiveDesigns that is very true. He clearly was meant to be snake eyes
Henry couldn’t hide his British accent to save his life

When you were watching Bumblebee, in the beginning when he was talking did you also know that it wasn’t for you? When you saw war machine in the first iron man & he wasn’t war machine yet, did you think it wasn’t meant for you? When you saw Bucky as a regular person in Captain America, did you know that it wasn’t meant for you? Even though Bumbleebee talked in the original transformers stuff … You do realize characters have origins. Snake eye’s origin in the comics was that he could talk before he went & crashed on a plane & got his face disfigured & his throat punctured resulting in him having to keep his mask on & being mute. Origins take time sometimes, stop being impatient, you don’t even know about the character than if you think it “wasn’t meant” for you.

Henry's "Snake Eyes" and Tan's "Cole Young" are brothers separated at birth. No one keeps damage because Karacters Kan shrug off X-Ray's. And, the disintegration stone is either Shinnok's amulet or a Kamidogu.

Yup.
For the first time in my life i felt sick watching a movie, it felt more like i am watching a movie while there is a terrible earthquake going on. Secondly it felt like storm shadow character should have been the snake eyes removing the final credit scene altogether making Golding character staying rouge n joining Cobra as storm shadow.
What I can't figure out is "Why even bother calling it snake eyes?" The character is not blonde hair and blue eyed his face is shown and he talks.... Hollywood you can have a generic action film but when you call it something based off an already established property you kinda have to do it LIKE the property!
Yea this has to be the worst example of Hollywood fuck up and them being out of touch. you keep nothing of the original character
Snake eyes couldn’t always not talk. But I agree with the rest.
well at least its better than black superman.
Larry Hama, the creator of Snake-Eyes, and yes, I'm calling him Snake-Eyes with the dash because that's how it's written in the comics (which I just started re-reading from issue one, so his origin is fresh in my mind, having just read it last week) said that he should have made Snake-Eyes Asian from the beginning and doesn't really know why he didn't, considering that Snake-Eyes became popular way before his face was revealed. In the comics, even in the flashbacks to Vietnam, Snake-Eyes was not a talker. Stormy was the talker and according to Stalker, was always talking to Snakes about his family business and hinting that Snake-Eyes would be welcome among them. This was before Snake's twin sister and parents were killed in a car crash by Cobra Commander's older brother. According to the Origins Comic, after the death of his family, Snakes went a little off the rails, roaming around, drinking and getting into bar fights. He was drunk in a bar in Texas when Stormy found him and directly offered him a place with his family but Snakes still wasn't hearing it. He nearly got killed due to walking out in front of an 18-wheeler and was saved by the man that would become Cobra Commander.
Proto-CC was looking for Snakes and convinced him to help him punish the wicked and they did for a while, driving around kicking the crap out of gangs and corrupt politicians and then they found the judge that had "ruined the life of a Vietnam Vet and forced him to start drinking to excess which led to him having a car wreck and killing himself and the other family." (Paraphrased) CC wanted Snakes to shoot the judge and gave him a .45 Colt 1911 Semi-automatic to do the deed with. Snakes couldn't do it and turned the gun on CC and some things were said and Snakes ended up pulling the trigger and it clicked empty. CC had been testing his resolve and when Snakes turned on him, an unending hatred grew in CC for Snakes. Snakes cleaned himself up and went to Japan and joined Stormy and CC went off his rocker and convinced himself that Snakes was to blame for everything, including the death of his brother (not sure how he got that warped in his brain, but he did.) After Snakes became a ninja, the Hard Master was killed, Stormy saw the killer, but since the arrow used was one of Stormy's, Snakes blamed him and Stormy fled to join Cobra to discover the identity of the killer.
Snakes returned to the U.S. and retired to his cabin and then Hawk and Stalker showed up and recruited him for the G.I. Joe team. Snakes didn't start wearing his trademark mask until after his first mission as a JOE, in which he got hit in the face with burning jet fuel which ruined his vocal cords and made his face into something that caused people to gag or start in fright if they saw him suddenly unmasked. He would wear rubber masks approximating his original looks anytime he had to be out of his commando suit or if he wanted to just go out in civvies with Scarlett on a date.

Such a good review!!! I felt so much the same way.
this was a good review.
i couldn't believe the movie ended with snake eyes still being able to speak. like how do they not cover that and call this a snake eyes origin movie?
In the future please preface your comments with a spoiler alert. Its the year 2021. This shouldn't have to be explained
@Freddie McLane you don't have to give away the ending of the movie in a review dummy
Aww man they should've put snake eyes in a horrible accident towards the ending.
That is what I am saying. Snakes eyes has a fantastic origin story...it is literally there handed to them on a silver platter. Larry Hama gave them the easiest lay up ever and they still flubbed it.
I was expecting that to actually happen. Had my fingers crossed too.
A dual against storm shadow would have worked
Yeah or tried to sacrifice himself for the clan and got his face disfigured that way. Then he'd actually deserve that new suit
Spoiler:
When Storm Shadow was holding that stone I sincerely thought he would've used it on Snake Eyes for his betrayal.
loved that beginning bit about the camera's also I would like a review of Nicolas cage's snake eyes it's such a underated movie has some great lines.
Henry Golding was Dry Eyes in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen
What kowinkydink
The reason he could not lead the clan according to the grandma was, no member of the family may use the stone, only protect it, so when Storm Shadow uses it he broke the family oath, even though I think he was justified
Yeah nah it still doesn't really work
He used overkill on an unarmed person, also kind of a douche, at least to akkiko
I loved the movie.
@@megaham1552 a supposed future leader of the clan then break the rules that he promised to respect doesn’t work. Half of the issues that “didn’t make sense” to Jeremy was all explained in earlier events & what not, it’s like he wasn’t even paying attention through the film.
@@packedentertainment2866 it’s the fact that they had a glowing stone that could blow shit up. Which we didn’t even know until over 70% of the way into the story and the fact that we didn’t know some shadow couldn’t use it. It was rushed and felt cheap to cause conflict.
Most absolutely ACCURATE review literally read my mind word for word 😂
The real Snake-Eyes from the comic is a great ninja, but he’s a great soldier first. He’s extremely selfless and heroic.
Castlevania 2 :)
This movie suffers from the same thing as Disney Star Wars….KEEP THE HELMET ON!!!
Or Judge Dredd (1995), since you mentioned “keep the helmet on”.
@The Asterisks and the fact that we never got a sequel was a crime
Are... you referring to The Mandalorian??? I don't think that these suffer from the same problem. Or that the helmet issue even is a problem for these two properties.
@@orinanime nah I’m talking about Kylo ren. Took the mystery out right away seeing the actor behind the mask
@@TCR2025 and I'd say that it's still not a problem. Kylo wasn't meant to be a mystery.
The Judge Dredd comparison someone else made, is a more apt comparison.
But even that isn't really apt.
Because it's an origin story, so it's also not going to be about a mysterious character.
Remembering continuity is half the battle, coping with Hollywood is the other half.
I like that Jeremy isn't sugarcoating this at all he's just giving his opinion brutal as It is, a lot of his other reviews really lack that

"COMPLETELY WORTHY OF A MOVIE WITH 'ORIGINS' IN THE TITLE" - JEREMY JAHNS
Snake eyes was my favorite childhood ninja when I was a kid and they totally ruined him. Storm shadow on the other hand was perfect.
This just sound like it shouldn’t have been made a GIJoe related property.
It sounds like? Why not just see it for yourself. If you watch you youll clearly see its gi joe. It has gi joe action all over it but it cant gully be one BECAUSE ITS A ORIGIN. Snake eyes doesnt magically just get into gi joe right off the bat
@@xXRand0mDudeXx Totally disagree. This could be any gangster movie and the executives slap on a GI Joe or MCU label to the movie. With the magic stone, they were going to the MCU, which I think Shang Chi is going to do as well.
@@brianng3414 not only fid you clealry not see the movie, but you cleaely havent seen gi joe lmfao
@@xXRand0mDudeXx Oh, tell me more about me, oh wise one... hahaha... You make so many wrong ass-umptions that this is getting funny now -like a fortune cookie or a psychic.
Saw the movie Thursday. It was this or "Old", and I do want to give the movie a chance.
And what exactly is "gi joe action"? Like in the cartoon -people are shot but no one dies? Hahaha...
Unless you are a super fan, I probably have more comics, toys and DVD about GI Joe than you... But you are hilarious!
@@xXRand0mDudeXx
Ok, name every character and tell me how Snake Eyes acts as a character
The Raid 2 will be the bench mark for 2010-2020s martial arts choreography.
Hoping to see it get some competition one day.
The beginning of this review brought me back to "I ain't fucking around" Jeremy and I miss that lmao
Ninja Assassin would have been a great Snake Eyes movie.
Great movie but some scenes were so dark I couldn't make anything out.
Revenge of the Ninja!
Maybe not...
Wow, it’s a movie about Snake Eyes! Wish he’d actually show up in the movie.
I like coming back to this review for that opening rant lol
It’s so inspiring to know that a person with severe Parkinsons can one day become a camera man
Thank you Hollywood for making so many jobs for those who need it
And thank you family guy for giving me the confidence to make this joke
"The best G.I. Joe movie yet." -A critic paid to say this... maybe
Tbf, are there any good GI Joe movie.
Well maybe if that critic had to choose between Snake Eyes or the last two GI Joe movie, he would prefer Snake Eyes as the best GI Joe movie so far
@@zouadailyas8122 rise of cobra is really good movie
@@azrrrrrrrr retaliation was better
It is the best theatrical blockbuster, but that’s not saying much.
