Notes et avis

This movie focuses on some contrived nonsense which was not even part of the original mythology of this character. Absolutely nothing about this movie resembles Snake-Eyes whatsoever. The Asian influences are extremely extremely overplayed. This was very obviously written by someone who did not grow up with this franchise and simply concocted a script based on "Ninja stuff". Let's redo this movie and get it right. Which means changing the title of this movie to something else.

I dont mind the switch in characters, that happens all of the time today. What I do care about is that Snake Eyes is an adult with a child's mentaltity, is never in the suit, and just like the new star wars movies-doesnt seem to need any training whatsoever to become knowledgable in the way of the clan. His ''ninja'' skills are barely there, the agility and flexibility of the character is seriously missing. I am so happy all I did was rent this movie so I didn't waste more money.

The movie had almost nothing to do with the real snake eyes. The only accurate piece was the fact he and storm shadow trained with the ninjas. But it wasn't supposed to be "way of the dragon" defy physics. If I could unsee this I would be much happier. I rather look forward to a good movie I never get to see then remember a second of this story. If you forgot what you went to see and just enjoyed the Chinese atmosphere of it then it's a good movie and I enjoyed it.
