His epic origin story. Rated PG for sequences of strong violence and brief strong language. Did you know Edit. Trivia The movie is a reboot of the G. Joe property on film, and intended to be part of a shared universe of features based on Hasbro properties with G.
Goofs When Snake Eyes drops the dice on the coffee table the first time a "6" is visible on the side of one die. When the camera shifts to overhead both dice show a "1". This is not how dice are made. Each opposite side adds up to 7, thus one of the dice would not have a 1 on top. Quotes Baroness : [deciding to run away from the battle] Oh, fuck this! Crazy credits There is a scene in the closing credits: Storm Shadow and Baroness meet, and she offers him a place in Cobra.
GI Joe Goes Woke! User reviews Review. Top review. It's one thing offering us Henry Golding as a pretty chap you'd want to take home to meet your mother, it's quite another telling him to abstain from shaving for a few days and hope that turns him into a convincing, highly trained ninja!
That's what is in store for us here as this latest GI Joe spin off presents our hero as the rescuer of the heir of an ancient Japanese clan - "Tommy" Andrew Koji. Once he is thoroughly ingratiated with this noble family, it transpires that old "Snake Eyes" has an agenda all of his own - and it's not exactly honourable! The rest of the film follows a well trodden path of suspicion, betrayal, reconciliation and - of course - loads of epic looking sword fighting and gravity-defying action scenes.
As with so many films in this genre, way too much emphasis has been placed on the look of the thing - the characters are instantly forgettable, the plot thinner than any rice paper could ever hope to be and the ending dragged this, quite unnecessarily, over the two hour mark. It needs a big screen to do the photography and visuals justice, but maybe just pay daytime rates?

Snake Eyes is a hugely popular member of G. Joe that gradually the series became somehow synonymous with him. So much that he would appear on the cover of an edition even when he didn't feature in it. And he didn't even hold a major role in the classic animated TV series. This book, like what the title screams, is an attempt to 'declassify' Snake Eyes' past. It's more like Snake Eyes: Demystified. Snake Eyes was such an intriguing, interesting character exactly because he's so mysterious.
The au Snake Eyes is a hugely popular member of G. The authors of the classic comic spun this well: even when appearing in a flashback when he hadn't been mute and deformed, his face was never shown, and we never saw him talking. It's all blown away in this comic. The story's not really bad, actually - at least it gives us explanation about the lives of not only Snake Eyes, but also Storm Shadow, Zartan, and Cobra Commander. But I believe there are more cleverer, artsy ways for comic authors to convey the story without employing the standard American-comic style and erasing all of Snake Eyes' elegant mystery that makes us love him.
The art is easily forgettable except for the covers perhaps , except one by an artist whose name I can't exactly remember. My sister's word for the art is 'Spider-Man-y'. Some look like heavily influenced by the late Michael Turner this is a polite way of saying 'wannabe'.
Quite entertaining, but not really satisfying. View all 8 comments. Sep 30, Timothy Boyd rated it really liked it. Very nice one shot issue about my and most everyone's favorite G. Joe character.

Instead of a living, breathing person, the reader is instead treated to a fairly hackneyed portrayal of a two-dimensional patriotic do-gooder, who, to be frank, would've been left better off as a blank slate than as such a flat and featureless stock All-American hero. The story contains all the relevant origin material of the Marvel series transcribed and re-illustrated, padded out with the odd bit of dialog from our hero - dialog which does nothing to illuminate anything about this aloof mystery man.
There are no odd angles to the person in Declassified. There are practically no angles at all, in fact. There is no history, no name, no place, and worst of all, no growth. What there is, is a poorly conceived notion that the G.
Joe universe is needlessly small, and that, of course, the greatest hero and the greatest villain were once good pals. It made me puke in my mouth a little. Not actually. No, what I did do was throw the book on the bed and refuse to finish reading it once the big reveal was apparent.
As much as I enjoyed Larry Hama having a little silly recursive fun by convoluting the assassination of the Hard Master, I did not enjoy finding out that this writer had so little imagination that he felt it was not only good but necessary to link two individuals who, by any reasonable judgment of their characters, would most likely not fraternize, let alone collaborate on a Robin Hood style crime spree.
If Larry Hama blessed this plot point, then it is apparent he no longer considers these characters his. And that is a shame. Because they are. They're his; not ours. We do not have a say in their lives. And certainly not like this writer has.
The worst of it is the high praise this mini-series received from all the G. Joe fans who read it. Reading this crap was a disappointment. And I'm out thirty bucks for the pleasure. Mar 16, Don rated it it was amazing. One of my biggest complaints about Marvel's treatment of Snake Eyes' back story is that they doled it out in tiny pieces over 6 years of comic issues. This collection fixes that and more. It was very well written, with more details added to the story to fill it out and make it readable in one arc.
The art work was excellent and created the mood for the story. So glad DDP went back in time and pulled this all together. Jun 28, Brian rated it it was ok Shelves: comics , fiction , m. It's not great. For a "declassified" story of how such a major character came to be, it's a rather generic tale told blandly.
The dialogue is unoriginal and the plot is predictable. I feel like there's something here, but it's all put together very heavy handedly. I wouldn't mind at all if the upcoming Snake Eyes movie were to follow this source material Ok I have not written a full book review in a long time, but I am just finishing a couple books and I have been on a big tear of reading graphic novels. If your not from this era then you need not read on.
There is also an upcoming Ho Ok I have not written a full book review in a long time, but I am just finishing a couple books and I have been on a big tear of reading graphic novels. The graphic novel in question is a smart well constructed book that uses the things we know about Snake eyes and fills in the gaps.
One of the coolest subtexts in GI Joe was always the story behind snake eyes. A goth ninja unable to speak hidden behind cloth because of horrible scarring we assume had happened to him in battle. Snake Eyes was the only good guy in the Joe who hold a candle on coolness to the Cobra guys. Side note cobra had the coolest outfits, Vehicles and they had a heavy metal band named cold slither.
Here we get the story of how the men who became enemies fought side by side in the Vietnam war. Jealousy kills everything. So I knew this was the Snake Eyes declassified but it is so much more. I was surprised by the connection Snake Eyes has to the very birth of cobra. It was a bit outlandish but come on so is a guy named Roadblock who talks in rhyme — if I can accept that I follow this story. Perhaps my only problem with this book is the how simple and throw away the accident that scarred and silenced Snake Eyes was.
It happens in a helicopter crash on the way to a mission. Snake eyes should have been fighting 40 cobra commandos and jumped on a grenade to save scarlet. Over all the book was good. So the movie… I am worried. It is set to be directed by Stephen Sommers whose first mummy movie was a entertaining if not vapid Indiana Jones rip off.
Not great but it was no Van Helsing. The problem is the fucker directed that one too. Van Helsing was unwatchable and painful in like fifteen ways. The worst part is I want this to rock. My friends in Indiana and I always used to talk about writing a GI Joe live action screenplay just for fun. There are several things I wish I could have expressed to the producers but I know it is too late. Make him a brilliant anarchist organizer and not one once of camp.
I think the Campyness needs to be there but not cobra cammander. He needs to quote dead Russian anarchists and have a valid argument that makes sense. He should believe he has to destroy the governments of the world who have failed to control the corporations.
He should blame the governments of the world for some tradegy in his personal life. Destro should be the crazy one driven by his family curse to simply destroy law and order. The two should not trust each other. I am all for campy-ness behind that.
