Directed by┬аRobert Schwentke,┬аSnake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, also┬аcalled┬аSnake Eyes┬аis an actioner that has released in theatres in the USA on July 23. The flick stars┬аHenry Golding as Snake Eyes,┬аAndrew Koji as Storm Shadow,┬аTakehiro Hira as Kenta, ├Ъrsula Corber├│ as Baronness, and Samara Weaving as Scarlett. For the uninitiated, the movie is based┬аon┬аHasbro’s┬аG.I. Joe┬аmedia franchise, but also┬аis an┬аorigin story for the titular character. Early reviews of Snake Eyes are out and so let’s check out how the film has fared.┬аSnake Eyes Final Trailer: Henry Golding Gets Suited Up To Feel At Home In This Action-Adventure Movie (Watch Video).
Indie Wire: “Snake Eyes┬аis such a generic тАЬcage-fighting orphan gets recruited into the Yakuza and then tries to earn his way into JapanтАЩs most respected ninja clanтАЭ story that the valuable I.P. behind it seems almost irrelevant until the third act.”
The Guardian: “The flying fists may make this a relative anomaly for the multiplex release calendar, but that should be understood as the faintest possible praise, an acknowledgment that weтАЩre looking at one of the more interesting varieties of boring movie.”┬аSnake Eyes: G.I.

The Philadelphia Enquirer:┬а┬а“Like many toy-based movies,┬аSnake Eyes┬аmight be betting too much on audiences caring about the connections to a broader universe of Joes more than the story in front of them.”
Screen Daily: “Whether itтАЩs the uninspired dialogue or the toned-down violence,┬аSnake Eyes┬аfeels like a tame, anonymous product, saddling its main character with a tepid tragic backstory in the hopes that it will add poignancy to his narrative arc.”
The Hollywood Reporter: “As shamelessly corporate popcorn movies go,┬аSnake Eyes┬аis better than most. ThatтАЩs not high praise, but considering the filmтАЩs dopey pedigree, itтАЩs not nothing.”
In India, Snake Eyes┬аwill be distributed by Viacom18 Studios. Talking about the reviews, while some have praised Golding’s performance in the film, overall, it has been a major disappointment for many. Stay tuned!
