Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins” is probably about as good a movie as you’re going to get that has the words “G.I. Joe” in the title. Maybe that’s because it seems to have very little to do with anyone’s conventional idea of G.I. Joe. It’s not a square-jawed, mildly jingoistic heavy-weapons combat. The Hasbro-inspired action franchise. It is, rather, a darkly atmospheric, sleekly scissor-limbed ninja combat a tale of vengeance and nobility and scheming set in Tokyo, where the title character (Henry Golding), a moody drifter who saw his father killed by shadowy forces, joins the Arashikage clan, a 600-year-old ninja dynasty, but only because he’s on an undercover mission of sabotage.

It is what it says it is... A GIJoe film spinoff detailing the origins of the mysterious ninja characters from the films. Its done pleasingly, albeit a little devoid of real grit from the female actors, and it's a film you can get into the choreography and story and enjoy it at face value...

Excellent, underrated movie... hope this leads to additional installments in the Joe's universe, as it at least tries to set this up. It strays a bit from the original source material, and given that we had not previously seen SE's origin cinematically before, wish they wouldn't have taken the liberties they did, hence losing one star.

Firstly don’t listen to all the negative reviews and to what the critics say about this movie because we all have different opinions about movies and I thought that this movie was really good it had plenty of good action scenes and sequences and it had some shocks and twists along the way and it was a little bit emotional too.

No spoilers here! The movie was better than I expected which was a bonus in my opinion. The pacing was a little erratic at times but not bad enough to make me lose interest. The picture quality is fantastic and the audio was fantastic! The actual steelbook is very easy on the eyes. The graphics and colors look fantastic on the black background. There's no bossing of any kind but that's okay because the overall look is still really good.

It was a good movie. Not great, but good. Action packed. Definitely leaves itself open for another movie. Did enjoy the actors as their characters (Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlet, and Baroness). I'm definitely looking forward to a sequel.

but the movie was very entertaining. this is supposed to follow the first movie before it, a prequel. sadly it didnt even bother to follow it quite right, it just said screw it were going to throw that away and well make it up as we go

I collected G.I. Joe comics in my youth, I even had a subscription, I literally had every comic published. While its been years since I read and owned these great books, I can't remember enough to say if this was on point or not. However, I felt it is a great movie, but can see where others will feel it's a poor attempt. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who still loves G.I. Joe & should be great fun to watch with your kids as well to share in your childhood with them.

I really wanted to love this movie, but it was just ok. I've been a GIJOE Snake-Eyes fan for a very long time. The movie was fun and had great action but the story needed some work. I wish it could have been longer and not so rushed towards the end. Overall it was entertaining.

A nice addition to the G.I. Joe franchise! If you like action movies, you will like this one. It's great on the big screen and while perhaps not award winning, a very entertaining show that is perfect for future viewings! A happy addition to my collection.

The product worked well all around, i can't say the same about the movie. It was a 'meeehhh, i xouldve gone without seeing it.' But im glad ive seen it once to come to that conclusion. The 4 stars is for the product, it has nothing to donwith the movie.

Saying this is the best joe movie. Is like picking your favorite Kardashian. They're all terrible. Just personal preface on which is the best amongst the worst. Snake eyes is a perfectly serviceable popcorn movie. Thats all.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Growing up GI Joe was my favorite toy and now as an adult I have no choice, but to watch these GI Joe movies no matter how bad they may be. I was surprised this one wasn't that bad.

GI Joe was a good movie series to me like the marvel. Lord of the rings. Harry Potters this one is also a must have. It’s a good movie. However GI Joe #1 was the best one out of them all so far. Just saying.

Snake Eyes was an okay film overall, not great, but a decent film. It was an action-packed film. It definitely leaves itself open for another movie to the franchise. I did enjoy the actors as their characters (Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlet, and Baroness). Am I looking forward to a sequel? Maybe, but needs to be better than this one! The first two G.I. Joe films were okay, a lot better than this one, but I enjoyed them for what they are. The main thing that I did not like about this film is that this "prequel" did not align up to the GI Joe films, so it was hard to really appreciate it, but I like it for the action film that it is!

Love it seriously love it the picture is awesome & Amazing the Sound is awesome & Amazing i love it seriously i do. I dont know why everyone is giving this movie bad reviews everyone in this movie did Amazing jobs for acting and the main guy that played Snake Eyes did a amazing job. Theres rumors there making a part 2 of this movie and probably rebooting the G.i. Joe movies

Great action movie filling in back story of how GI Joe character Snake Eyes came to be. Digital option provides convenient way to watch movie on mobile devices as well as not requiring physical DVD to watch on TV.

Fan of Henry Goulding. Nice change in role for him trying to define himself as a good or bad individual. He finds out things about himself eventually that help define who he is. Great fight scenes and story line.

Good acting, good cinematography, decent stunts. However, they tried to do too much to rewrite the SE backstory. Instead of loosing his family as an adult, he looses his father as a child. Also instead of joining of his own volition into the clan it is part of a revenge plot. The change the nature and origin of all the relationships basically and make the story too convoluted while also making SE have more many more moral flaws than the original story line. (This is not the actors fault they did good but the writers would have been better to stick a little closer to the original origins story.)

I really liked this movie.. I did however think it could have been a little better.. The giant snakes were a little hokey, and there could have been more action.. The electric motorcycles were really cool..
