“Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins”- this is the name of this fantastic action movie.

I will say right away that the film turned out to be very pleasant. I mean – oh, where are my 15 years! Ninja, yakuza, racing on sports bikes and cars, swords and machine guns …

Robert Schwentke (he recently filmed the very soulful “Ghost Patrol”) truly gave us a holiday. His picture is much easier and much clearer than the previous two films about the showdown of the black and white ninja, also two super-powerful organizations, good and evil. Well, yes. What do you want? Especially considering the genesis of the original …

Before us is a fantastic action movie for teenagers. And adults, in which the heart has a place for nostalgia for the good old action movies about ninja and yakuza. As well as the knights of the cloak and dagger. But since it is also a means of promoting the sale of toy fighter figures, there will be no blood in the spirit of, say, Takeshi Kitano, which I respect very much. As well as the harsh hand-to-hand a la “Raid”. Although there are some very pleasant surprises about the latter.

The film looks almost in one go. The Dark Ninja Origin opens his arms to us. I would especially like to note that this whole story is presented quite logically (for your world, of course). Yes, literally a couple of times all this almost collapses under the weight of pathetic-snotty dialogues (especially the first, with the participation of a representative of the clan’s Security Council). But … The kids just won’t get it right, and the adult audience just grins. And they will forgive.

Henry Godling played his part well. You believe him!

I would also very much like to especially note two guest stars and real masters – Iko Yuvays and Peter Mensah. They became a real decoration of the picture. Her pearls.

Well, a couple of girls played well – Samara Weaving and Ursula Corbero. Their characters turned out to be very … interesting.

In fact, we got a beautiful and pretty easy-to-learn summer fantasy action movie. Airplanes and motorcycles here are quite organically intertwined with the world of ancient warriors. A huge forest and a medieval samurai castle correlate quite well with the nearby modern metropolis.

The very story of the formation of two fighters … It’s not bad. And at least curious. With all discounts on character genesis.

In general, remember the recent “Mortal Kombat”. This film will be very close to her. But he is much better and much more beautiful.
