Final Snake Eyes: GI Joe: Origins trailer released

Look, there’s no shortage of great trailers for bad movies-or, at the very least, deceptive trailers for great movies, like the one for Predators, who promised all those predator reticle and did not deliver. But until we are told otherwise or see it for ourselves, Snake Eyes: GI Joe: Origins always looks like sick.

Now hold your horses. We can already see the comments section flare up with anger at the thought of praising a movie that features the word “Originsin the subtitle. That headline is reason enough to pinch your nose, wave your hand in front of your face and say “Pee-you.” But here’s the thing, Snake-eyes looks like he’s delivering on the action, and not just the brand of floating aircraft carriers and the unconvincing clouds of dust and smoke that are all the rage these days.. Snake-eyes‘trailer, on the other hand, possesses honestly, together, and sword-to-sword combat. In an action movie landscape where the waterfalls are essentially cartoons, it’s nice to see real combat choreography. Moreover, it seems like this movie brings a lot of ninjas to the party, which to quote Borat, is very pleasant.

As for the plot, it seems usable. A brother, honor, a secret society dedicated to world revolution, yadda yadda yadda. A choice was made, a man was betrayed, A hero will arise. We have all been around this block several times. These are tired clichés, but nobody goes to that late in the game GI Joe prequel to the plot. Unless, of course, you’re one of those GI Joe heads that the producers of this film assume exist in the world. Indeed, they have to, but there can’t be so many if this movie comes nearly a decade after GI Joe: Retaliation, a movie which almost paid off $ 400 million, which apparently wasn’t enough to spawn another sequel. Also, remember when Joseph Gordon-Levitt played Commander Cobra? It was wild.

There are many reasons to be concerned though, as if someone really cares about the quality of Snake Eyes: GI Joe: Origins. (Life is short. Please don’t be so concerned about Snake-eyes). While very tall and charming in A simple favor, Henri Golding didn’t prove himself as an action star, with Guy Richie’s gentlemen being the only genre film to its name. Then again, his character’s name, “Snake Eyes,” sort of does the heavy lifting for him.

Will Snake Eyes: GI Joe: Origins actually winning all two points in his ridiculous title? We will find out later week of its release. In the meantime, here’s the final trailer, which features quotes saying the movieits good.
