there are swordfights galore, and many of these battles have interesting angles; Unfortunately, director Robert Schwentke uses a lot of razzle-dazzle, and too often the quick cuts and close-ups obscure the action rather than highlight it
the drama is muddled, the action is murky, and the storyline can't help but get goofier and goofier until, by the end, every attempt this movie makes to ground the "G.I. Joe" series gets blown up
no matter how bonkers the story gets, the cast reels the audience back into the plot; Henry Golding's portrayal of Snake Eyes is charismatic and his action scenes are fluid, gifting the audiences with a good time
it's a bombastic, slick, convoluted and unnecessary second-tier action franchise reboot; Henry Golding is a charming, who gave a true movie-star performance in Crazy Rich Asians, but he's just too soft and non-threatening a presence to play Snake Eyes
Henry Golding proves he's a franchise-ready man of action in stylish "Snake Eyes"; a satisfying martial-arts action-adventure with two magnetic leads, a heap of lightning-quick swordplay and the best argument yet for a G.I. Joe cinematic universe
by the end, it's no better than a mediocre superhero effort; despite swooping, graceful camera movements.. “Snake Eyes” collapses in a crosscurrent of conflicting character motives, joyless plot twists and who-cares violence
as shamelessly corporate popcorn movies go, Snake Eyes is better than most; though this film is a good deal sillier than James Mangold's "The Wolverine", its nods toward pulpy grit and its enjoyable fight sequences will be welcomed
"Snake Eyes" is so surprisingly, well, decent, in terms of visual polish, character specificity; A decent story with sharper-than-expected character work is almost fatally marred by terrific action beats edited to the point of incomprehensibility
"Snake Eyes" is a tedious watch; The director has filled the movie with ethnic and cultural stereotypes, and incoherent fight scenes; Henry Golding fails to shine in his first action role, bringing no personality to his character
"Snake Eyes" is a fine movie with lots of action and interesting characters who could benefit from a more balanced story where they more evenly spread their involvement with the main story rather than being forced to prop others up throughout
"Snake Eyes" is a fine enough franchise-starter, and it's a super fun summer blockbuster, with its frenetic action and unrelenting pace keeping audiences captivated for the film's full two-hour runtime
