Snake eyes...his Defining trait is his silence. Soooo let's have him talk the entire fucking movie.
Wow really that's why I didn't wanna even see it when he was talking I was like.....nnnoooo that's not right ... smh terrible
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!!
But not Baroness :/
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme ray park will always be snake eyes
Silence him in the sequel
“It’s completely worthy of a movie with Origins in the title” that ain’t good
Rayman origins: cries
I know it's a game, but come on, there's not much else good with origins in the title lmao
@@glendarjj3991 Rayman Origins and Assassins Creed Origins are good origin games. And there's nothing people can make me change my opinion on it.
Fucking hell...
@@memecliparchives2254 you sir have a point
@@memecliparchives2254 they aren't movies, so it's not cursed.
Black Noir is a more accurate Snake Eyes than this actual Snake Eyes.
Bro that exact comparison was the first thing to pop into my head too.
Couldnt have said it better, very underrated comment.
@Jing Soo Cho this version at least…
Yes indeed!
fr movie so trash imma pirate this
"Ninja assassin" is a better movie. Better fight /action and story.
i rewatched it, sadly it has too much ketchup fake blood
@@ssllhh100 what’s sad is you calling the blood ketchup fake when the director blatantly acknowledges that in several scenes throughout the movie.
Waaay better
I love Ninja Assassin
Better? The best you were meant to say. No movie in that category beats that right now.
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
Hhaaaaaa for real!!??
He exiled himself
@@dracphoenix
Nah, Snake Eyes wouldn’t be quick to anger and impatient.
@@lukesmith3618 yes, that's the movie
I mean Daredevil nailed how to do action choreograph and cinematography and that was for the small screen.
No excuse.
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
Yeah I love the hallway fight were he goes into a room and it shows none of the fight in there.
@@unclecreed2986 go watch it again...that hallway scene is brutal and that scene you mentioned added to the moment.
@@Bjork4s i knew this movie wasn’t going to be good when i saw the director did the divergent movies jesus christ
Exactly! The staircase fight scene from season 2 is amazing
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
@@Bjork4s well the John wick movies are made by someone who was a stuntman first then a director. maybe thats why it looks so great 🤔
@Remy Boyz season 3 has been greenlit, it's going to release straight to HBO Max for a 2023 release date
Once again, a movie that wouldn't have made a dime if they didn't use a character everyone already knows.
@Luis Martinez nice joke
What that isn't snake eyes that's a joke
@Roman the film lover me too. I thought it was enjoyable.
It really feels like Hollywood doesn’t care what they make anymore.
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
They never did
@@djcorvette8375 i was coming to say that exact same thing
yup ant drumming in ant man movie was also post credit scene
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
If anyone wants to see the Snake Eyes origin story done right, go watch the cartoon G.I. Joe: Renegades. Episode 6 and 7 were absolutely amazing.
The GI JOE RESOLUTE animated film is a great version as well.
I Slay Goblins: ALL FACTS!!!!!
Thanks, I'm going to look those up
It’s like how the DC animated movies are far better than the live action movies. Hollywood insists on trying to “improve “ the source material.
It is funny you mention that, I have just been binging those episodes.
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.
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.
Felt the same way, it's almost as if they flipped characters
Storm Shadows now seems cooler than Snake Eyes. Haha
Who doesn’t root for shadow storm?
@@youtubeaccountserio2633 I've always rooted for Tommy. He's the man.
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)
There’s a reason. As a devout Muslim, Iko Uwais cannot work inside China for obvious reasons. Wasting my boy Iko Uwais again pisses me off.
@@colten53 He has a cameo there because he choreographed the lightsaber fight at the end.
@@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.
“Why is it shakey-cam…she’s just walking?!”
camera man was waking the tool.
I believe I can answer that and I will do so in the language of an incompetent cameraman.
"It's on a shaky-cam because... WeLl BeCaUsE rEaSoNs!"
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...
If you weren’t a fan of storm shadow before ..you’d love him after this movie
Bruh storm shadow was already cool
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.
Obviously Jeremy doesn’t know about hollywoods recents drive to hire more people with Parkinson’s as camera operators.
All for diversity! 💩😅
Diversity is strength
🤣🤣
"yeah, fuck those people i don't want disabled idiots making my movies!"
The Michael J Fox initiative
That first 40 seconds was brutal 😂 Jeremy coming hot
The whole video, jeremy seems for more brutal and tired of bad movies than he usually is.
And it's hilarious
"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.”
@@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.
@@caesarspeaks
You forgot theres a whole franchise of it. Cartoons, comics, and games
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
It wasn't Snake Eyes, it was Zartan in disguise. There, I just saved this movie.
Plot twist it’s actually Quick kicks origin
MVP 🏆
Fuck, that would at least leave room to make a proper Snake Eyes film...
@UN KNOWN Sounds like Snake Eyes needed to be hauled away from a burning wreck by Scarlett this time around...
It was Zartan? Someone told me it was old man Withers who runs the old amusement park!
Well, so much for it being an 80's cartoon crossover.☹
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”
It was supposed to be Warrior season 3, it got canceled so they made it Snake Eyes
@@cable7152 Wonder what else pop culture wise from the 80's Hollywood will ruin? lol
Thundercats?

Silverhawks?
M.A.S.K.?
Dungeons & Dragons?

Thundarr the Barbarian?
Blackstar?
Bravestar?
Galaxy Rangers?
ROM Space Knight?
That Voltron movie never made it off the ground. I think I remember reading the script...didnt sound good.
They're making a Mobile Suit Gundam movie and a Robotech movie so maybe those are next on the chopping block
@@budgiecat2885 all of the above, edit, except for ROM cuz Marvel has the rights I think.
@@cable7152 Unfortunately Hasbro has the rights to ROM Space Knight not Marvel.
Had Marvels TV show producers in the 80's listened to Stan Lee's proposal of localizing the 1981 live action super sentai Show Marvel co-owned with Toei in Japan called Sun Vulcan, instead of saying 'kids wont like that its too Japanese!' then Marvel would have been the first to make the 'Power Rangers' instead of Haim Saban, which for Haim, ended up being a billion dollar franchise. Then Marvel would have had enough money in the 90's to not almost file for bankruptcy and sell off their comic IPs to various movie studios, and they would have had the money to lock down ownership of Micronauts and ROM Space knight instead of Hasbro scooping them up.
@@budgiecat2885 crap
I feel like its literal children writing these movies nowadays.
I swear dude
Bandwagon jumping kids who never had the time to read or watch the source materials.
Felt like a college film project
The giant anacondas. . . . . .
Nah, I bet children can write better scripts than these Hollyweird script writers and directors.
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.
Warrior is so good and underrated
@@kumaSOevl It REALLY is! It's the superior Peaky Blinders alternative imo. Season 3 has been announced!!
Warrior is A M A Z I N G

Where's the pizza Jake?
it was like a reverse DEADPOOL in wolverine origins. DeadPool: Talks A lot, now doesn't. Snake Eyes: Silent, now doesn't.
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
I'm gonna give a hot take here:
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.
Until this day stillenjoy it rise of cobra
RIse of Cobra is shit. Snake Eyes is far better.
Nah I agree with you. I even stayed until the end of the credits just to listen their sick ass remix
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."
Also reminds of when New Line Cinema wanted to do Iron Man back in the day but the NLC President didn't want him to fly. lol
Snake Eyes could talk before he became Snake Eyes. Just sayin 😆
@@blackdragon6 so you want movie that the MC didn't talk for 2 hours long.
@@akmalshaari7795 people have played 10 hour games where the main character never talks.
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.
Henry couldn’t hide his British accent to save his life
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. ☹️🇵🇭
also no Wade Collins or Stalker found
My ad before this video: "critics say 'Snake Eyes' is wildly entertaining"
Jeremy, an honest critic: Nah
I was hoping not to be depressed, lbut Dune!
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 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.
Yeah Snake-Eyes dosen't need an "Origin movie." The more mysterious the character is, the better he is.
He had one in the 1980's comics
@@seanmalloy0528 True. Man those comics were nuts.
@@thelaughingrouge if it was an updated version of that it would have been fine
@@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.
"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.
Producer: why is he called Snake eyes?
Screen writer: Because!
Producer: Sounds good to me.
At least we still have Jeremy now that Chris has made it "big"
"Big." 😂😂🤣🤣😂 stopping review videos and consistently making videos about how "successful" you now is only making his head big, but not much else.
Honesty I feel like most RUclips reviews now and days are loosing it.Way too much nitpicking.
@@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)
"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 fortnite kids like the magic
@@PhaseSkater Bro what lmfao
@@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.
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...
I died laughing when he started shaking! Dude! Best movie critic in 2021 so far! Honest reviews love it! ❤
"What could have been. Dammit!" This should be a new slogan from now on.
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
@@Bjork4s 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
@@raiden_187 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.
I liked all the GI JOE and Cobra teases and Scarlett. just goes to show some characters work best as a team and not by themselves.
You and Chris Stuckman are my favorite reviewers even tho he may not be a reviewer for much long. Anyways. I am just out here barbequing and I want to say that I love your energy in every video and you are hilarious and awesome. You da man!
''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
@@yaugustin7370 Yeah, but with an actual well written script.
@@yaugustin7370 Or The Wolverine movie. Which is way better either of this shit.
>Ray Park
Nah we can't have white people as action heroes any more for some reason.
Ray Park is too old for an origin story, I think they should’ve gotten Lewis Tan or someone more younger
The Snake Eyes origin in the comics is still the best.
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.
Would have 100% preferred a cinematic recreation of the original comic version.
Marvel G.I. Joe #26
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.
Just got here. And I love your review. Great job my guy. 👍🏾
I will stay for more.
You know it's bad when Jeremy spends half the video going into why he doesn't like the movie by going over the spoilers. Some of which were in the trailer.
All this movie had to deliverer is a good fighting choreography, and now hearing that it didn't I'm not even gonna bother watching it.
I saw the sneak peek. The actors were good but action was low par. :/
@@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
@@Bjork4s 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
Jeremy's hair has more volume than the Pacific ocean.

Yup
@@carterpadvaiskas5025 Well his Rise of Skywalker thumbnail was a reverse.
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.
my thoughts exactly
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
@@BraveLionheart andrew koji definitely steals the show
@@IntuitiveDesigns that is very true. He clearly was meant to be snake eyes
I'm surprised Hasbro or someone didn't mention the shaky cam. Oh well, hopefully it does well so they can learn from their mistakes.
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.
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
When I heard him talking in the trailer, I knew this movie wasn't meant for me.
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.

MAN, now i'm worried about the Hasbro's Power Rangers Extended Universe.
Remembering continuity is half the battle, coping with Hollywood is the other half.
The beginning of this review brought me back to "I ain't fucking around" Jeremy and I miss that lmao
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.

Why can’t they nail a GI Joe film? Think they should have got Gareth Evans, who directed The Raid.
Or Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick movies.
@@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.
Gareth Evans has stated he doesn't want to make any "films done by committee" anytime soon.
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
@@Bjork4s 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.
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)
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)
so growing up reading the GI Joe comics, Snake Eyes was a blonde haired white guy, Vietnam veteran, ninja trained bad ass. and now Snake Eyes is this???
Not to mention that the reason he wears a mask in the first place is his face is disfigured from combat injuries.
Yeah and an Asian man created him so there is no justification for the change in ethnicity.
Thanks for the stedy cam tips/lifehack bro!
Jeremy’s shaky cam moment was freaking hilarious
The Internet is gonna have fun with that "we need to make it more intense. Alright , here we goooo! Shaky cam!"
One of the best Jeremy's opening video ever. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
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.
Propagandists are writing Hollywood movies now. Actual writers are out of jobs or writing fanfiction online.
No they haven't, they have been systematically doing the opposite, destroying classic heroes to subvert them morally.
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 .
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 could if Berserk had a good anime? Unless you really liked the 90s one
@@BeastMaster-gc5zg I mean He could start Reading the Manga and The 1997 anime is good Wdym
What was berserk reference??
@@robbiejobbie4302 Striga Wearing The Day Armor and Wielding a Humungous Sword, and Going Berserk on a Village
@@BeastMaster-gc5zg Expect it has. The 90's adaptation and the movies. They are extremely flawed but decent adaptations really.
U had me at “I don’t feel like it “ 😂😂😂
Your review is right on. The first thing I thought was they took a generic ninja script and jammed Snake Eyes into it.I didn’t have high expectations and would be shocked if we get a sequel.
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 🙄
Nope, Paramount and Hasbro have a partnership so this was not a rights issue. Which then begs the question, why did they shit this out?
@@mediamanjamessmith251 toys maybe?
@@mediamanjamessmith251 as mr. Crabs once said : hmm money
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
Waiting for Old review 🙄
Such a good review!!! I felt so much the same way.
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.
Imma just watch GI Joe: Rise of Cobra again
Imma just watch The MASS Device (ARAH) and The Weather Dominator (TROC) again for free, official, here on RUclips.
At least Rise Of Cobra was more enjoyable and Snake Eyes was silent and cool
Both earlier GI Joe movies were my ultimate guilty pleasures. But still, I rather watch the earlier GI Joe movies than this
The lesson: Hollywood never learns and never will
Yup.
I liked that little hint of "Tales from the comments section" that happened there
Most absolutely ACCURATE review literally read my mind word for word 😂
Thanks for the jerry rigged steady cam tutorial Jeremy.
Or should we say… “Jeremy rigged?”
@@robwes9227 👏👏👏👏
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.
Thanks for the tip at the beginning! Probably shoulda went to film school or somethin...
I wonder why Kenta seemed afraid of Snake Eyes. He beat Storm Shadow easily.
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.
Gawd Bless John Wick's action...
I'm just gonna have to come to terms to the fact that we're not getting a Raid 3. Iko why were you in this???? *Cries internally
Storm shadow completely steals the show for me. I truly felt bad for him because he made one mistake and gets punished for it. While snake eyes made so many mistakes and gets completely redeemed. It leaves a really bitter taste in my mouth.
