Because she is marrying the man who assumed the mantle of Santa Claus last December 26, Beth’s postponed wedding has to be rescheduled for Christmas Eve. Overwhelmed by selling the house she and her son share, and the prospect of the duties of Mrs. Claus, she has to call on her estranged socialite Grinch of a mother to arrange the wedding.

“Ah now we have your average Joe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI havenu0026#39;t watched any G. I. Joe movies, so I have no idea about Snake Eyes coming in. Because of this, I judge this movie only as an independent action, hoping it to be a great summer blockbuster. And I was disappointed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBefore the movie began, Henry Golding shared that thereu0026#39;s gonna be a lot of action. Thatu0026#39;s true, as there were multiple sword fights. However, each fight was short and unsatisfying. The camera angles were bad, and I couldnu0026#39;t see the choreography clearly. Iko Uwais was in this movie, and heu0026#39;s a fantastic martial artist actor. However, he got little screen time. Itu0026#39;s almost like they donu0026#39;t have the budget for long fight choreography.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story was boring and not special. Snake Eyes was a bland and bad protagonist. I donu0026#39;t care much about his journey, and the ending for his character felt unjustified. Itu0026#39;s not that Henry Goldingu0026#39;s acting was bad, but the direction for his character made him like a side character.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting was okay across. Only Andrew Koji stood out as the Storm Shadow. He was pretty badass with the swords, especially his serious face. I think he stole the spotlight from Goldingu0026#39;s Snake Eyes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, a mediocre story with unsatisfying action scenes. 5/10.”
