    GI Joe: Snake Eyes is A Waste of Potential | GI Joe movie review | Epictastic Joshua

    GI Joe: Snake Eyes is the third live action film adaptation of GI Joe directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse and based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe franchise, serves as an origin story for the title character, created by Larry Hama and stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, with Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, Haruka Abe, Takehiro Hira, and Iko Uwais and it is a letdown but not my biggest disappointment of the year. In this video, Joshua gives you his thoughts on the film and why this is a letdown compared to the other two GI Joe films. #GIJoeSnakeEyes Synopsis 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. CAST & CREW Directed by Robert Schwentke Screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos Joe Shrapnel Anna Waterhouse Story by Evan Spiliotopoulos Based on Snake Eyes by Larry Hama G.I. Joe by Hasbro Produced by Brian Goldner Erik Howsam Lorenzo di Bonaventura Starring Henry Golding Andrew Koji Úrsula Corberó Samara Weaving Haruka Abe Takehiro Hira Iko Uwais Cinematography Bojan Bazelli Edited by Stuart Levy Music by Martin Todsharow Production companies Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Skydance Media Entertainment One Di Bonaventura Pictures Distributed by Paramount Pictures Rated: PG-13 Release date July 20, 2021 (International) July 23, 2021 (United States) Running time 121 minutes Budget $88–110 million Box office $40.1 million

    GI Joe: Retaliation (2013) | Flawed But Decent Watch | Movie Review

    GI Joe Retaliation is the 2013 sequel/soft reboot to 2009's GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra and this is a movie that I've had a conflicting relationship with since it's release but over the years, I've grown to accept it for what it is. In this review, ff39480 Reviews gives you his thoughts on this flawed but enjoyable sequel. #GIJoeRetaliation In the continuing adventures of the G.I. Joe team, Duke (Channing Tatum), second-in-command Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), and the rest of the Joes (D.J. Cotrona, Lee Byung-hun) face a two-fold threat. Not only is their mortal enemy COBRA rearing its ugly head again, but there is also a threat from within the U.S. government: There might be an impostor in the White House. Meanwhile, Snake Eyes (Ray Park) is on a search for inner peace but learns that his nemesis, Storm Shadow, is still alive. CAST & CREW Directed by Jon M. Chu Written by Rhett Reese Paul Wernick Based on G.I. Joe by Hasbro Produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura Brian Goldner Starring D. J.
