An ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage welcomes tenacious loner Snake Eyes after he saves the life of their heir apparent. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach him the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing him something he's been longing for: a home. However, when secrets from Snake Eyes' past are revealed, his honor and allegiance get tested -- even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
This is a weird movie to review. Was it watchable? Yes it was definitely a decent watch. The pacing could have been much better and there was no reason for this to be 2 hours long. But like . . . . . is this supposed to be the relaunch of the GI Joe franchise? Because if it is then I think it was a super lame attempt. Like this movie honestly didn't even feel like a movie theater blockbuster and would have played better as a streaming service series. Like I'm not sure that this movie would be remotely successful to launch that whole franchise off of. Just really left me with a weird vibe on that front.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking it out. It's not a must see by any means whatsoever but it is an entertaining enough watch. Just not really sure it was good enough for what it looks like they are planning.
