In rebooting G.I. Joe for the big screen once again, Paramount followed the path previously trod a few years ago by the Transformers series and its Bumblebee spin-off. Like that film, which deliberately stood at arm's length from the Bayhem of the previous chapters, Snake Eyes eschews a voluminous roster and world-ending stakes in favor of a narrower scope, with the broader franchise existing around its edges. It's an entirely sensible approach, though the true measure of its success will only be seen when/if the obvious seeds being laid in place are allowed to flower in intended sequels for the "Real American Hero." Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins opens July 23.
