Due to the cutting though some of the exposition is really clumsy and rushed. In particular there is a bit were Snake Eyes is sparring with Jinx and the Blind Master is giving this info dump about how Jinx is the cousin of Storm Shadow who Snake Eyes doesn't trust because he killed the Hard Master but they must work together to save the G.I. Joes and restore honour to the Arashikage (with no explanation of what the Arashikage are). It really doesn't help that the whole thing is delivered by an awful actor with an American accent doing an Asian accent that is so bad its almost racist. It would have also been nice If Cobra Commander had a bigger part as he isn't really the main villain it is more Zartan, but as they are now confirmed for a sequel I imagine he will be more front and centre in that. It had HISS tanks though, so I don't care about any of this.
