I wouldn’t say it changed the game but it created a great world in a space with little wiggle room. I’m sure the creator of the comic must have been inspired by highlander in its original premise.

This was an amazing action romp with some surprisingly good fantasy elements! Two very strong female leads. It had a slightly lackluster villain though, but set it up for a perfect villain in the sequel.

This time she's the leader of a secret group of noble fighters who are also immortal. Their latest assignment threatens their privacy and freedom, when big pharma wants to capture their eternal essence. It's often said in an action movie's publicity that it has heart, but it's seldom true. This time it's true. The fight sequences are full of quickly-dispatched brutality (more comic book than bloody), but the characters have depth and meaningful moments that give the personal drama some warmth. The writing adds an interesting perspective to the curse of living for centuries. Even though much of the plot is by the numbers, there's plenty of well-staged action and involving characters to help it rise above the average action flick.… Expand

Solidly entertaining action scenes (that are edited in a way that's clear to follow), and the cast handles the quiet moments well.

The villain is a little too ridiculous relative to the rest of the movie, but that's a minor complaint overall.

As an adaptation, it's mostly very loyal to the comic - some of the dialogue is word-for-word - but still has just enough changes to have a few surprises if you've read it. Would have liked to see the crusades and Napoleonic flashbacks from the comic, but this sets up for a sequel so maybe next time.… Expand

It would have been nice to get into the oast stories a bit more but I'm sure they will be added to future films if they intend this to become a series. Which it should be they can go quite far with semi immortal movies these days especially one about them living in shadows is better then all the super hero grabbing fame movies they have. These Guards do what they do cus its what they think is rite not cus someone called and told them to do it or cus there following orders they find something is wrong in the world and they do what is needed to set it right. It's a shame people like that dont really exist ones who dont do everything for fame or money!! Keepcthis series going it will be well worth it!!!… Expand

This movie starts off with the precursor of Real life injuries Charlize Theron acquired during filming She probably wishes she would of got finished off like her character and career might be after this mediocre blockbuster Between trying to sell a story line that has major gaps in it and a soundtrack that struggles to keep your adrenaline going I would say that this movie should of gone straight to VHS not even DVD worthy based on weak lines that are as note worthy as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1985 COMMANDO...“ let off some steam” and fight scenes that are as exciting as watching wheel of fortune with my grandmother

Most scenes look tooooo rehearsed and very unrealistic to the point where I find myself hearing Richard Simmons saying and... 5......and ....6.... and 7.....8....... However I did enjoy the BLM
Brought into play with the C-list starlet given plenty of screen time to show a clear apology from all white people in America Movie has a total of two cool scenes which consists of all characters getting shot and the second one being...A good neck snap .... by the time I got to the end, I wish someone would of snapped my neck.... Two hours of watching a frustrated Jewish boy try to get revenge during his never ending bar mitzvah .... made me want to play dead.... Atomic Blonde turned into Atomic bomb.....
This movie will have you asking to speak to the manager while wearing a name tag that says Karen .....as well as looking forward to death as this movie has ruined the fun idea of living forever ..... James gives this two thumbs down … Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On a scale of 1 to 10, this movie is a 9.7. There is room to improve but overall it hits really well. The actors for the main cast were great. I love the feel of their dynamic. They each play well off each other making them seem like a family. Also the addition of Nile (Kiki Layne) works really well. She fits easily into the already established group. With the introduction of her into the movie, we were learning alongside her about the "immortal warriors". Additionally, Nicky (Luca marinelli) and Joe(Marwan Kenzari) were one of my favorite parts of the movie. Their relationship felt sweet, humorous and loving to watch. Joe's commentary is hilarious throughout the movie while Nicolo/Nicky's calm and sympathetic demeanor balances him out. However, I do wish we could have learned more about them and their lives separately from each other. Nick especially since I felt he was heard less than the other characters. I guess I could say that for the whole cast. Hopefully, we see more of that in the sequel. Now the reason I didn't give this movie a perfect 10 is because I felt there were too many wide shots leading to the film feeling a bit flat to me.I think the cinematographer could of maybe played around more with different angle shots, color, and/or saturation. I was yearning for more depth and contrast between scenes. One last thing, they (the music directors) should also work on the soundtrack. Some songs didn't fit which was distracting. Overall, this is a fun movie to watch. The idea of "immortal warriors" is an interesting idea that almost anyone can be intrigued by. Also the fighting scenes are really another place were this film shines. I loved the fast tempo of the moves. All of Andy's (Charlize Theron) one of one fighting scenes with others were great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who hasn't read the comic book I came at this cold as it were, it popped up on Netflix and Charlize Theron is always worth watching, not sure I've seen a particularly bad film she's been in. From the start we are introduced to the characters and realise there is something different about them. The action sequences are fast paced and contain the right amount of gore and the one liners zing at just the right places. Could have stood slightly more of the backstory of the characters but what we did get was well crafted. Found the 'Baddy' a touch one dimensional but if it is true to the comic book its difficult to mark it down for that. The twist at the end sets us up nicely for the sequel, I'm hoping we don't get the formulaic back for revenge schtick, but I cant see another way for it to go if I am honest.
IF you like your action fast paced and bloody with a hint of history, this is going to be for you. If not, try it anyway, always worth trying something new.… Expand

After finally watching it, I can totally see what everyone's talking about. This is a ruthless, rip-roaring tirade through Hong Kong's underworld, spearheaded by John Woo's trademark aesthetic and some powerhouse performance work from both Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung. Much to my surprise, the action in this isn't actually "wall-to-wall." In fact, the second act features a surprising amount of necessary build-up and downtime. However, when the set pieces are pulled out of the wardrobe, this movie wears them like a warm glove, with the final act really containing some of my most favorite bits. It's violent, snarky, wholly memorable and absolutely worth a look.… Expand

The story is very light and feels like a good introduction to the core of the franchise. Actions are very entertaining. I also love how they touch on how 'love' is when you're someone who lives thousand of years together with another person. Also the loneliness aspect of immortality and how the weight of being left alone is something that's worse than a physical punishment.

Characters are really likeable and have lots of potential but sadly there's no room to flesh them out. Definitely better to put them into a series instead.… Expand

In all their scenes they manage to bring strength, leadership and even sensitivity, showing their humanity, and their concern to maintain that humanity even considering their abilities. The characters are not necessarily innovative, the type of "hero's journey" story has been done over and over again. This can leave the tone of the film cliché, but I believe that this production does not try to focus on this factor necessarily.

The Old Guard is what appears to be an introduction to the group, showing the strengths of each character as well as their weaknesses, their complexity, bringing discussions that could currently be considered clichés or even unnecessary, leaving some doubts about the past of their characters and the limitation of their powers, which leaves opening for a sequence and expansion of the world in which they live, and with great action scenes capable of entertaining anyone.… Expand

It has awesome characters, a fascinating plot and an interesting universe. I was hesitant to watch this film, but it exceeded all my expectations and now I can't wait for the sequel.

This is the story of four immortal warriors who have been around the world for centuries. This concept of immortality from a fantasy perspective is one that I haven't seen many movies take on. I thought the plot was original and has a lot of space to expand on with future installments. Charlize Theron was great as always, and I loved the way that they gave all the other characters their own depth and story through flashbacks. Quynh's fate was brutal, I think being trapped like that for so long would be an immortal being's worst nightmare. I am so excited to see how they handle her character in the future.

This movie was such a breath of fresh air after so long without going to the cinema and hearing about delay after delay of great movies. I think the average moviegoer will enjoy this film as much as I did.… Expand

Очень креативный сюжет, но пропаганда сделала больно в сердце, два часа как 10 минут пролетели

Really well choreographed fight scenes. They chose to go above and beyond the action movie standard fight scenes and considering the characters are immortal it works perfectly.

Immortals usually bore me out of a lack of stakes, but this movie made them more interesting and engaging than any other piece of media I've seen before. I haven't had a movie pump me up this much in a long time. You're missing out if you don't give this one a watch.… Expand

Intriguing extension of the immortals genre. Theron is beautiful, physical and sharp as usual.

Theron is beautiful, physical and sharp as usual. Big pharma is the baddy which is a little predictable but otherwise some good plot swings and great action. Some corny and unnecessary scenes like the London scene with no people and then hundreds of suits strolling around the corner. Diverse cast, touches of history And a terrific duet by the romantic crusaders. Excellent soundtrack. Good work folks… Expand

Wikkid fun!! I got exactly what I wanted from this show and more. For an action, the dialogue was great with some surprisingly good acting from support characters. This one was a lovely surprise, even with a few questionable plot lines.

Good story, good fight scenes and good weapon manipulation except the ridiculous accuracy, one shot headshot kills fix that and you have a great movie looking forward for the sequel !

When you don’t die, you pick up a few tricks! I like how they updated parts of the comic for the movie. It made the story a little cleaner, but I can see why the outcry from the purists. It was a little to wordy for an action movie, the flashbacks were too expositioney and well, I started to fall asleep. But then the bangs happened, I was up again and there was a great finish! Looking forward to the next one. Which may never happen. Was this even supposed to be released in theaters?

Anyway, I’m easy to entertain and I was entertained. Thanks!… Expand

It feels like a big-budgeted pilot episode tho Lost ep1 and 2 has richer storytelling. Nevertheless, it's a welcome diversity rarely seen in action movies and movie franchises.

It was a good movie. I would love to see a second part. I liked the enemy being a big pharmaceutical corporation but needed more story development.

Una muy buena película de acción y que me recordó un poco a X men pero aún así me parece muy entretenida al igual que un poco mal actuada debido a que algunas escenas se nota las malas actuaciones aún que tal vez sean partes del guión.

The betrayal the mystery. The history references. I loved seeing the good that was done. The young new recruit finding her place amongst them. I can not wait to see what is done as a follow up. But I can honestly say that the movie series would be nothing without Andromeda and the actress who plays her.… Expand

As action movies go, this is definitely better than the average. We went in with middling expectations and were pleasantly surprised. Would definitely watch 2-4 more of these to get more of the history of how this works and happened, and the well choreographed action. These are the same people who will give the Fast and the Furious a pass on its endlessly stupid dialog. This was better. You’ll be entertained. Feels like this was review bombed, which is unfair to this one. It’s better than average action if that’s what you’re in the mood for.… Expand
