	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"As shamelessly corporate popcorn movies go, Snake Eyes is better than most. That’s not high praise, but considering the film’s dopey pedigree, it’s not nothing."	NEU
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"A boring attempt to give Henry Golding his own franchise (...) The bloodless PG-13 deathstrikes never land with a satisfying force (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is probably about as good a movie as you’re going to get that has the words 'G.I. Joe' in the title (...) a darkly atmospheric, sleekly scissor-limbed ninja combat orgy "	POS
United States	Brandon Katz The New York Observer	"The fight choreography is often impressive. But the script is pockmarked with cliches, tropes and never-ending predictability (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Henry Golding's G.I. Joe origin story has enough flavor to overcome some of the worst fight scenes to ever disgrace a movie screen."	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A satisfying martial-arts action-adventure with two magnetic leads, a heap of lightning-quick swordplay and the best argument yet for a G.I. Joe cinematic universe (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"A dispassionate and mediocre action movie. The drama is muddled, the action is murky, and the storyline can’t help but get goofier and goofier"	NEG
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"The movie includes plenty of elements that will please fans (...) 'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins' ends up having enough good-time action sequences to make it worth the popcorn money"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Snake Eyes features plenty of martial-arts mayhem but very little actual excitement (...) Snake Eyes feels like tame, anonymous product"	NEG
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"As nostalgia, Snake Eyes feels like a failure (...) However, as a movie about hordes of ninjas drawing their swords and running at each other, it is a notable success."	POS
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"A dire checklist of clichés that were already gathering moss back in the 1980s (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Amon Warmann Empire	"Frustrating action scenes, a middling story and unearned sequel-baiting, there's not much here that's worth listening to, or watching (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
