This movie is the epitome of "style over substance". There's a couple decent action scenes and some interesting John Wick-esque lighting (dimly lit neon hues). There's an interesting vibe there, but it's mostly from the soundtrack. It uses music as a crutch. Without the pop songs, this movie would be insufferably dull. Expand

Same is true of many action films, of course: the problem here is that it's more of a spy drama, and latter half simply doesn't have enough action to distract you from how transparent and perfunctory the plot beats become.

As it is, the film has several cool action scenes at first, but literally peaks midway through, at a 10-minute long fight scene inside an empty apartment block, which is torturous in a good way: neither Theron's character nor her assailants have the weapons to end it quickly, and so they end up wearing each other down with bloody,yet inconclusive wounds. At certain points, they are both forced to stop and catch their breath for a while, before slowly continuing to fight. It's a little reminiscent of the final showdown in The Revenant, now that I think about it.

Afterwards, though, there's literally nothing special. Most characters either predictably die or end up irrelevant, someone suspected of being a traitor an hour ago lives up to it, and the final twist exposes a myriad of plotholes, and makes the behaviour of several characters largely inexplicable. There's not much thematic weight either: lesbian romantic line is just there, and while you are regularly reminded of Berlin Wall's impending fall through the incessant TV broadcasts, the main plotline and characters are completely independent of it, with not much actual reflection, or accompanying existential dread on GDR side.

Atomic Blonde? More like Atomic Bland!!!! hahahaha. Anyways, Atomic Blonde is a slow-moving, borderline boring movie with okay action for the most part (besides the staircase fight) and dull plot.

Characters: The characters aren't too bad:
Atomic Blonde? More like Atomic Bland!!!! hahahaha. Anyways, Atomic Blonde is a slow-moving, borderline boring movie with okay action for the most part (besides the staircase fight) and dull plot.

Characters: The characters aren't too bad: their motives are sort of there, but I don't really feel connected to any of the main characters besides Lorraine, as Theron portrayed her well and I actually felt like she was more of a real person. One problem I have with the movie is that Theron and McAvoy's characters don't really spend enough time together, and the time they do spend together they spend not liking each other. They didn't have chemistry whatsoever, so when the twists and turns at the end rolled out, I didn't feel satisfied.

Acting: As I said, Theron was pretty good, but everyone else was okay. I really like James McAvoy, as he was very good in Split, and he was fine in this I guess. I wasn't too interested in his character throughout, though.

Plot: The story was not particularly interesting to me, and somewhat boring. The worst scenes were the ones in the interrogation room, simply because they seemed neverending and were only there to describe the sometimes confusing plot. It was pretty predictable throughout, and the twists weren't particularly great. Twists like this movie pulled off should have the audience like "woooah!! (blank) was actually (blank) all along! I can't believe it!" but this movie just made me feel like "oh. Cool." The plot is a typical spy thriller movie, and it would have an excuse if it had good action, but it doesn't enough of that either.

Action: Considering the director, David Leitch, was one of the two directors of both John Wick movies, and I consider the first one to be one of the most realistic if not one of the best action movies, this movie didn't quite capture the same action. It's not even that the action was different; the action remains relatively similar to the action in John Wick. Longer takes with little cutting for the most part, realistic gun mechanics and fighting. The action is still a bit similar, but doesn't capture the same feel as it did in John Wick. There also wasn't enough to me. The movie is only 1 hour and 54 minutes, but still didn't have enough to interest me in the story and movie. Don't get me wrong, most of the action was shot and choreographed very well, and is much better than a lot of modern action movies, but I wished there was more of it. I also didn't really feel attached to the characters and plot anyways, taking away from the experience. I didn't even know who I was rooting for in a few scenes. In John Wick, you know his motivations, and you sympathize for him, making you cheer for him when he takes down multiple men. But when a character you don't really know or care for fights, it takes away from some, not all, the experience. Some action movies can pull this off, but this one didn't. But I especially want to talk about the staircase fight scene, which was all one take and was nearly perfect. It was choreographed so well and immersed me into the fighting, something the rest of the action lacked, I felt. It was realistic and violent, and all I really wanted out of this movie: awesome fighting and action, without need of much of a story. John Wick's story is basically some guys killed his dog and destroyed his car that his wife, who died, gave to him. He gets mad and seeks revenge, killing hundreds of men, making for great action. But this movie paid more attention to the plot, with a few action scenes. Of course, just because John Wick didn't have much of a plot and was still good, it doesn't mean this movie had to, but since this movie focused so much on the plot that wasn't interesting, it takes away from the experience. Also, there is one really good scene with umbrellas halfway through before the staircase fight, which also resembled the cool action movie that probably would have been better.

Music: The music is very techno-electronic and loud. I didn't really have a problem with it, except for the scenes where the music is forced in. For example, there are scenes where Theron is just walking down the street, and techno music is blaring. Baby Driver got away with playing music over mundane tasks, but it worked because it was choreographed and the music still went with the tone of the scene and movie, and was played constantly throughout. When the only time this music is played is pretty much when someone is walking or not doing much, it doesn't really fit.

Atomic Blonde was a relatively boring movie with pretty good action, though not too much of it. Also, just because a movie is an action movie, I know that doesn't mean it has to have constant action and no story, but countless times a year, action movies are released, some with good, some with bad action, that have bad or boring stories. This movie, is one of those, with good action. All I'm going to say is, you should probably James McAvoid this movie. hehehehe

I was very much looking forward to a female driven action movie with Theron in the staring role. Going by the trailer it seemed to have all the elements of something incredibly memorable.

I was bored during a large section of this film which is a real shame. It’s not fast paced and could have done with a few more action scenes. Theron has great physicality and I wanted to see more of that. James McAvoy looked a bit too pretty for his somewhat gritty role and, for me, made the character less intimidating than he should have been. Theron, although an excellent actress, played a very one dimensional character which didn’t encourage any real emotional investment from the audience. There are positives, the sets are great and I very much liked the neon stylised look that captured a fun but exaggerated setting for 80s Berlin. The retro soundtrack was enjoyable and definitely added to the overall ambience. The film stands outside the usual hollywood formula for action movies which I admired and Theron was not portrayed as a superhero but rather a skilled individual with real vulnerability. Overall, it’s not amazing but worth a look if you’re up for something different.

What more do you want in an action movie? Seriously don’t expect much more than that because you won’t get it. Don’t expect a riveting spy story set during the fall of the Berlin Wall. It moves from scene to scene in a series of brilliant cinematography and colours. A painfully generic and predictable story with no surprises in store for you, nothing that stands out. The only positive outcome of this is there is nothing to distract you from the gritty fight scenes of which there are many. And where the story fails you the stunts certainly make up for it and then some. Charlize is performing most of her own stunts and it really shows. Perfect casting, she is the female action hero we not only deserve but need right now.
I really enjoyed Atomic Blonde but I couldn’t help thinking that it should have been that little bit better, and although there’s nothing in the story that will stick in your mind there are some truly unforgettable fight scenes so if you love a good action flick don’t miss Atomic Blonde. Recommended.

Although there are some terrific fight sequences and a top notch soundtrack, the story is not compelling or cohesive enough to follow. The surprises are not all that surprising and the editing really dumbs down the script.

Particularly impressive was the realism of how 1. someone of lower general body weight has to focus almost entirely on direct weak spot attacks (throat, groin, joints, eyes) like in Krav Maga or jujutsu, or else if the fight goes on too long against someone too much heavier our hero can expect to get severely **** up, and 2. she actually checks if she has a round in the chamber by partially pulling back the slide, before she goes into a gunfight. Nobody **** does that. :) Everyone in action movies just fully racks the slide without a second thought, even if they've racked it before when they were gearing up (which means the second time around they should be throwing out a perfectly good unused round like a dumb ass).

But what I was also expecting was the fast pace that makes sense in - and is typical of - assassin/secret agent movies, where there's a mission to complete under time pressure and there are lives at stake. Here the feeling of urgency is interrupted by chillout/dialogue scenes so much that you just lose the excitement and it stops feeling the way a secret agent action movie should feel. Big let-down there.

Minus 2 points for turning it into a CIA glorification piece, sadly, though as we know by now the writers don't really get a choice when trying to portray such institutions.

Mesmo com efeitos, brigas, tiros, coisas comuns nesses filmes, foi quase que jogar o legado de Debbie Harry na lama, pontuo que o erro foi ligar duas coisas nada a ver com a outra, 'Música' e 'Filmes de Ação' se tivesse tirado o 'Atômica' do título talvez vingasse, mas mesmo assim é uma produção mediana.

I am on the median type of audience for this film, as i enjoyed the film for certainAtomic Blonde summarized in one sentence is a film, where you either love it for what it has to offer, like it for certain aspects or hate it for its flaws. I am on the median type of audience for this film, as i enjoyed the film for certain parts such as its John Wick-style action (by the same director of John Wick), its stylistic neon aesthetics (however underutilized it may be or trying to hard to be something it is not), acting and performances, soundtrack and its marketing strategy. However, i found numerous aspects of the film disappointing, poor or unacceptable such as the cliched and boring narrative, the dull and dragged pacing, the amount of inconsistent plot holes and the lack of emphasis on the characters, aesthetics and cinematography. It felt like such a disappointment from the advertisements and trailers shown as the marketing strategy which depicted an intriguing and beautiful MI6 agent who was sent to Berlin to be with another rebellious British agent in the calmer and revolutionary but ironically, the most tense and alert final days of the cold war where the deterrence for ideology was settling and people were shifting toward the seductive side of capitalism filled with revolutionary and dramatic neon, products and perspectives revolutionizing both Russian and American culture. This honestly excited and intrigued me and made me want to find out more. But instead we got a boring film with only good action and music with a dull spy movie plot that i guarantee you have seen a million times before and with (minor spoilers) an extremely inaccurate plot twist that just settled with me and i just moved on with my life. This is such a disappointment and there is probably more aesthetically pleasing imagery in the trailers, wallpapers and fan art alone.

But however there are certain plot irrelevant moments which are unfortunately more intriguing than the story line. There are occasionally (once in a blue moon) shots which reference pop culture classic films, good scenes that give us more story on the character even by saying nothing and sequences with good songs. Overall , if you like pretty good soundtracks, good hand to hand action, good acting and average (albeit brief) neon aesthetics then this film is for you. However if you decide of considering to see it then you must be aware of its flaws before deciding.

So it's no big surprise that it left me a touch disappointed. It's a cold war spy thriller taking place in the 80s before the fall of the Berlin wall. It's one twist after another with some truly impressive fight scenes. The movie is ultra stylish with a great soundtrack but that's really where the goods end. It's a lot of style with not alot of substance. There's definitely a story here but it's executed in such a confusing manner it feels a bit sloppy. But all in all its marginally entertaining and engaging if only for the style, solid performances from Charlize Theron (Monster), sexy James McAvoy (Split), hunky Bill Skarsgard (It) and screen siren Sofia Boutella (Climax) and some unforgettable fight choreography.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a stylish and colourful (both in language and in terms of the bright, often neon, artificial lighting used) action thriller film, with plenty of action/chase scenes, car chases, gunfights and the like. It has a slick feel to it, with some mildly unsettling, dark and somber sounding music played in the background to keep the viewer feeling tense and unsure as the plot continues to develop. The main character is quite mysterious and I enjoyed learning more about her and the situations she finds herself in. The cast is also good, with Charlize Theron playing said main character and James MacAvoy, John Goodman and even Toby Jones also present as additional cast members. This film is a little unclear in terms of some plot details and it features quite a lot of violence and fight scenes, there's more of that than particularly clear plot line so its more a film you watch to get your mind off things, to watch for the visual effects, the CGI and so on. I also quite liked the soundtrack/musical score, with numerous tracks from the time its set in as well (the late 80s, as the Berlin Wall was brought down). I suppose there isn't a great deal to this film on one level but I found it an easy and enjoyable watch regardless. I'd recommend this generally as a basic stylish action film but if your looking for a film that is multi layered and really thought provoking then you should probably look elsewhere. Expand

The movie wasn't that good. It does have a lot of action though. Some pretty sweet fight scenes though.
