The crosses and double-crosses are seen a mile away.
Director Robert Schwentke also failed to give much cohesion to the all-over-the-place script with his annoying shaky-cam and sword-cut editing, as well as his mostly migraine-inducing action scenes.
I miss those old ninja movies man.
Joe, no idea; never seen him, or the comics or the cartoon shows, indeed never really paid any attention until the 2009 film, and I never saw that! He infiltrates the elite Arashikage clan on behalf of Kenta Takehiro Hira , the prodigal son once positioned for the top spot, now intent on taking it by force.
But the focus stays on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, as the ninja in black and the ninja in white become involved in what is mostly gray-area.
The fact that it could probably be regarded more in line with a soft reboot is all the more astonishing when you consider that it is so painfully daft.
Our Take: Welp, director Robert Schwentke the Divergent series, ugh has not broken precedent and made a good G.
Joe universe in the cartoon promoted individuals who needed to set aside their differences and work as a team.
