In the long history of the G.I. Joe franchise, one of its most popular characters is a certain black-clad silent ninja known only by one name: Snake Eyes. The Joe commando has appeared in practically every incarnation of the elite military force, from the comic books to the live-action films. So, it would make sense that the man would get a live-action film focused on him. Malaysian actor Henry Golding is taking up the black suit in Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins, a reboot of the live-action film continuity. Let's look at the trailer!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Who would have thought one of the characters regarded as the most awesome members of the GI Joe team moonlighted as a fish factory worker? Hey, I don't begrudge the guy. In this day and age, you gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet.
"I'm here to talk to you about Fight Club."
"I thought we weren't supposed to talk about Fight Club."
"...ah, dang it."
I bet this was not how that guy expected to have his Wednesday end up.
Yeah, this totally is not the lair of a supervillain.
"I get a sword? SWEET!"
That bowl of water thing reminds me of The Golden Child. When Eddie Murphy had to cross that pit without spilling the water.
"Do you guys also have health benefits?"
"And pension."
"Whoo-hoo!"
Is that Scarlett? Neat. All she needs is the crossbow.
Love seeing the classic COBRA logo.
COBRA also have a few pyramid rackets going.
Wait a minute, is that a Mortal Kombat homage with that ninja's bike leathers? All we need is him screaming "GET OVER HERE" and a spine getting ripped out.
Honestly, I think this movie will be dumb, but the fun kind of dumb. It's the kind of dumb movie that you can sit and enjoy because it's just so much fun. Just don't take it too seriously, and you'll have a good time.
