This movie was a failure from its conception. The character of Snake Eyes has a back story that this movie completely ignores. Sure, the original back story is farfetched, but nothing here is any more believable. But what's worse is this story is generic and boring.

Unfortunately, his actual performance is a bit wooden. And the script is just all over the place. The original movie moved along quickly and didn't bother trifles like "backstory" for characters. Not only do we…
