What to Know

Critics Consensus

Far from silent and not particularly deadly, Snake Eyes serves as a step up for the G.I. Joe franchise, thanks in no small part to Henry Golding's work in the title role.

Audience Says

The story isn't great and the characters don't make much of an impression, but a great cast and lots of entertaining action make Snake Eyes a fun solo adventure for the fan-favorite hero.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Snake Eyes seems to barely recognise the talents of the cast it has on hand. Rated: 2/5 Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kevin Maher Times (UK) It's the franchise that nobody wanted, featuring characters that nobody cares about and starring an actor who struggles with the basics of the craft. Rated: 1/5 Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amon Warmann Empire Magazine Snake Eyes finally speaks, but with frustrating action scenes, a middling story and unearned sequel-baiting, there's not much here that's worth listening to, or watching. Rated: 2/5 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews Ultimately, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins isn’t a very good film and serves as a case of wasted potential. Hardcore fans may be able to overlook the film’s editing issues and have a good time with it. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Juanma Fernández París El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico) Thanks to the work of its director and his successful collaboration with the stunt masters, Snake Eyes avoids the classification of disposable commercial fare and graduates to basic and efficient entertainment... [Full review in Spanish] Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Henry Golding is FANTASTIC IN THE MOVIE & he SAVES THE FILM. Without him I would of found the film boring. The action is too shaky & will give some headaches, & even the story here is way too much. Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
