The Old Guard on Netflix 7/10

worth a look

i watched it.. felt it coulda been better..

I can say that it was not bad.

First part of the movie was ok second part was boring and lame...could have been much better...

Whirly makes these threads every time he watches a new show. Wtf

Watched it. Even my wife who was a big fan of Theron didn’t like it. Was pretty boring in the 2nd half. And we both felt like it had too much lazy writing. Not the worst written immortals I’ve ever seen, but still pretty bad. Highlander 2 level silly while having zero of the campiness. Perhaps it was one of the movies where you had to switch off your brain to watch but it took itself too seriously for us to do even that.

It wasn’t bad-bad though. Some good moments. Fight scenes were well done and pretty entertaining at most times (tho to be honest, I can’t remember most of the movie so I could have missed a few bad action scenes if there were any, but I can’t remember any bad ones).

Spoiler:
“Surprise” at the ending was predictable and also a bit pointless.

Still... if you’re bored and need something to fill your evening with the wifey, worth a watch (maybe?). Just lower your expectation (a lot) and switch off the think-y part of your brain.

6/10.
