I just saw the movie. I both liked it and yet also felt there's lots of room for improvement. I bet that Storm Shadow will return .. I'm sure he's got some of those nanomites in him and the cold water has instantly preserved all life functions. Didn't like the Snake Eyes mouth, or the back story with SE and SS as kids. A lot of CGI, well done, but too much. Remember that Clint Eastwood film about some super USSR jet.. Firefox I think it was. Even though it was in the 80's, some scenes made that jet look like it was traveling faster than the Night Raven. Would've liked to see more straight flying, through clouds, etc, to give that zoooming look of high speed instead of twist and turns at super sonic.

I felt the movie was decent. Better than what I expected. It will not influence my Joeverse, though. At the end, CC had such a deep voice that I thought he was going to say something like what Darth Vader would.. "Duke, I am your father!" ;-)

Breaker wasn't too bad. Liked the part with the bubble gum. Ripcord was good. I wouldn't mind seeing his character more. That Baroness is cute. I like how she walks. Those long strides.... :-)

SE did good shooting that missile that destroyed the other missile.

Wished Covergirl would've lived.

Who was what cute Joe girl with the short black hair during the scenes in the Joe sub? Hawk gave a speech about breaking orders, the camera panned around and briefly you see this cute girl. Later in the battle scene the camera again focuses briefly on her. I wonder what her character name is supposed to be.

All in all decent, entertaining. Good effort to tie up loose ends from the classic story. But, but still think the classic story made better sense (Vietnam days, Stalker, blue uniform with chrome faceplate, etc)

A thumbs up though.
