Dumb action fantasy film where all the fantasy tropes don't serve any purpose and the action is okay tier with a super bad script and story. Some fight scenes are okay.

Charlize Theron tries to be an action star post-Atomic Blonde, unfortunately the plot of the movie is lackluster, and forgettable.

I have to start by saying I did not read the comics.
Also, being a highlander fan, I thought the immortality theme could go either way. But I enjoyed it, the way it was presented was done in a smart way, making you understand these characters were intended to have some depth. But then it all started to feel like a cliché. Super predictable. The betrayals and twists. The greedy villain with millions in the bank, a mercenary army for hire and zero depth to his character (we needed another one of these right?). The music used was dreadful (low quality EDM really?) and didn't match any scenes. The fight sequences with blades or blunt weapons felt far fetched but I have to say Charlize did look cool holding her axe. The dialogue was also very weak at certain points.
As positives, some acting was good, and you do feel curious about the history and power of the characters. I really liked the relationship between Nick and Joe, and would have loved to see some flashbacks to its start back in the crusades. Felt curious about the character in the flashback, that is dying with Andy and Quynh next to him, but there was no explanation for this moment. I felt like he knew more information about the immortality powers and had been around even before Andy, nonetheless we are left wondering.
Maybe it will be mentioned in the sequel?
Will still give it a rating of 3 since it has some enjoyable moments and I would watch a sequel, regardless of the various moments that made me cringe.

However, IGood acting by great actors and a few new ideas about a "superheroes" movie even though they don't have superpowers. I love the diversity in the cast and even in the characters.I am also all for giving a chance to the directo. However, I can't believe the reviews I am reading from "reputable" movie critics. This movie has a lot of holes in a very conventional script. Some ideas are taking from other movies -i.e. "The Immortals" everyone?-. Also, some of the lines are just there to give you background stories, not because the plot requires it or the character should be saying that. Another thing that I found very, very poor is the action sequences and the editing. I just couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing considering the actors in it. A very weak, average movie that tries to set up a franchise with nothing to actually feel like it deserves it.
Don't believe the great reviews that you are reading from prestigious newspapers. I honestly think they are praising this movie for different reasons not for the quality of the film.

Netflix seem to like to cast a large net hoping that one or two catch on. The problem with this is the market just becomes saturated in mediocrity. Such a boring film which had nothing to say for itself despite having Charlize Theron as the lead. A dull film with no message or meaning but no action or entertainment either like so many others i've seen recently. It can't of looked any better on paper when they looked at the script. The standard within the movie industry really has dropped considerably over the last couple of years. Expand

Todo potencial do filme é ofuscado pela clara decisão de girar tudo em torno do resultado, e não trabalhar na premissa de forma geral. Muito comum por parte da Netflix, diga-se de passagem.

Imortalidade é um tema rico, carregado de ideias
Todo potencial do filme é ofuscado pela clara decisão de girar tudo em torno do resultado, e não trabalhar na premissa de forma geral. Muito comum por parte da Netflix, diga-se de passagem.

Imortalidade é um tema rico, carregado de ideias desde grandiosidade a melancolia depressiva. Dito isso, sabemos que a abordagem aqui poderia acontecer de diversas formas. Porém, ao invés de trabalhar temas do gênero, o filme resolve entregar o que a maior parte do publico quer ver e tenta ser vago de toda forma possível, para que qualquer um possa entender o que está se passando na tela.

Primeiro de tudo, os temas abordados não são ruins, mas a forma como eles são apresentados - de maneira vaga e com uma seriedade ilusória - é o que mais me irrita. A obra aborda homossexualidade, emancipação, representatividade negra, melancolia, loucura, solidão etc; e se eu não conhecesse a netflix, diria que os três primeiros temas ditos acima só tem um espaço na obra pra agradar o publico em geral. Não há impacto na trama quanto ao relacionamento de Joe e Nicky; A emancipação da protagonista, Andy, soa forçada e militante, visto que seu desenvolvimento é nulo e nunca fica claro o porque ela é a BOSS - me desculpem, mas umas cenas de ação e o fato de que ela é a mais velha não me convencem. Inclusive, aquela cena onde os personagens explicam o sonho da Nile, quanto ao passado da Andy, é uma forma terrível e conveniente de desenvolvimento. [Não que a obra tenha alguma verossimilhança. A suspensão da descrença não funciona pois ora a obra se leva a serio demais, ora ela é padrão Netflix]. O Plot relacionado ao Sebastiam é tão mal feito que eu me pergunto: se não acontecesse, faria diferença? E também me leva ao questionamento: quem é mais ingenuo, este personagem ou James Copley, que realmente acreditava numa "mafia farmacêutica" [isso soa tão idiota...]. Já o vilão é um estereotipo podre da... industria farmacêutica? da ciência? da loucura humana? Não sei. Parece que a obra não quer ofender ninguém e se perde na caracterização do mesmo.

O filme tenta meramente abordar melancolia, falta de crença e outros temas relacionados. Mas os diálogos são pobres e limitados. O mesmo acontece quando tentam pôr um peso aos personagens - no que se diz respeito a idade deles. Outra coisa que me incomodou foi o "fan service" de citar o Brasil. Isso só prova mais uma vez que cinema autoral na netflix está longe de acontecer em diversas obras. São paulo está longe de ser relevante, mas "vamos mencionar, assim o publico brasileiro fica contente pelos 2s de atenção."

As cenas de luta são bem coreografadas. Porém, senti falta de um melhor trabalho com a cenografia quanto as coreografias. A cinematografia não é muito clara e não passa muito bem a geografia do local. A trilha sonora é peculiar. Não sei muito bem se essa adição de musicas pop funcionam numa obra cinematográfica cujo tema é meramente sombrio.

Por fim, a Netflix escolhe mais uma vez seguir a formula magica do dinheiro, se distanciando cada vez mais do cinema autoral, e tirando a oportunidade de obras que realmente tenham o que dizer e saibam como o fazer.

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

Move over Ebert and Roeper

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

The movie starring Charlize Theron debuted on Netflix this Friday. If youWelcome back Streamers! This weekend I've chosen continue my quest to guard your eyes and time from middling movie quality. This is why I had to watch The Old Guard. The movie starring Charlize Theron debuted on Netflix this Friday. If you follow our IG page, you saw the trailer, but I've included it below as well. The Old Guard is a movie about a group of "immortal" mercenaries that are trying to avoid detection while completing their missions. I know you're intrigued. Sci-fi, action, and Charlize! I'll go ahead and sign you up. But let's see what we got.

How many times can we watch an A-Team type of movie? Now, this A-Team can't die. How many times can we watch John Wick-esque violence? Actually, it is just that exactly what you think will happen happens. The trailer says it all. Okay, sure, we can watch this A-Team movie again. We love a rag-tag team completing missions. And yes, we can watch someone kick butt like John Wick all day long. That's what America is built on, violence! You're right! This cast works well together, except the newbie to the crew, KiKi Layne as Nile, added doesn't quite fit the vibe of the others. But I'm sure she will if they decide to do a sequel. *WINK* The problem becomes we've seen this movie before. Action sequences while good are the same as Underworld, Atomic Blonde, John Wick, etc. Those titles actually are a perfect mixture to describe this movie. Don't we deserve more! Then there's the storyline that is extra basic. Has creativity really been this lost even in the sci-fi genre? This just feels like a sad money grab.

Ok, I'm going to lay into this one. Allow me some rope. Charlize, what are you doing?! I understand you're picking the same type of roles to play because you're BA... I get it... BUT YOU LITERALLY PLAYED THIS ROLE BEFORE. This movie is just your character in Hancock-you mixed with Bloodshot. I was going to say Wonder Woman mixed with Bloodshot, but then I remembered "oh wait this is exactly what Charlize did before except she wasn't a housewife." Shoot, this might as well be that same character after her husband and stepson died and now she's on a rampage for a couple of centuries. I'm just saying, Charlize, I love ya in a action film, but you can take a break from playing this role for a little bit. You've got more in you than just fighting, getting beat up, killing people, and crying. You were still enjoyable in your monotone BA role. Don't even get me started on you, Chiwetel Ejiofor. Get that check, my guy, but also DO BETTER!

Nevertheless, The Old Guard is what you thought it would be. Entertaining action that is sprinkled in between long drawn out predictable storyline sequences. You can keep this on in the background on a Sunday afternoon but otherwise, just stream this if you're bored. A handful of popcorn will be enough to get you through.

Maybe just a tad too "on-the-nose" for the "evil mastermind". Come on - he's supposed to be a CEO for a successful pharmaceutical company. He comes across as a complete lunatic.

The first half of the movie builds up some interesting plot lines to explore. But when it ends it has barely scratched the surface of any of it. It skips merrily along without daring to go dig deeper. And ultimately that kind of ruins the movie as a whole. There's almost no pay-off. It feels like the movie itself doesn't even know the answers.

But it hints strongly at a sequel, so maybe they just decided to not reveal any of it in the first one. Kind of silly if you ask me.

It was entertaining enough. But the characters often strayed too much from what I could bring myself to believe they'd ever do or how they'd react to the situations they are in. And the amount of "I can't tell you that right now, so I'll just do something stupid to avoid answering" was off the charts.

Yeah, so not a bad movie. It just doesn't do much with the potential it has for something better or more interesting.

The acting is generally good, and Charlize Theron carries most of the weight in this regard. The new immortal introduced early in the film is acted poorly and written horribly, and is thus generally unlikable. While much of the story is a bore fest, overall the movie is OK, and did a good job leaving itself wide open for a sequel by bringing in an intriguing character right at the end that had only been alluded to earlier in the film. 6/10 Expand

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The lead is a strong warrior but she's still showing that she has flaws and weakness just like normal human. 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.

Solid popcorn movie.

KiKi Layne's acting is so far below her co-stars that it makes every scene cringeworthy. She is such an undeveloped actor with less than half as many credits as any of her co-stars, she was way out of her league.

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

That's too bad because the concept of the story is actually cool and entertaining. But all the the PC stuff felt forced and pulls you out of the story. Also, the pop music they use in this film is out of place and down right ridiculous.

Being a woman myself, I'm a big fan of strong female characters, like Ripley in the Alien series and Sarah Connor in T2, just to name a couple. Unfortunately, Charlize Theron was not able to pull it off with her forced tomboyish IDGAF behavior. It just wasn't believable. But kudos to her, she did the best with what she was given.

Oh and I do take note what Netflix and the director of this film tried to villainize. But I'm not surprised anymore in 2020.

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

You have a movie where the main characters are centuries old warriors, with experience that makes them the world's most elite special ops team; on top of that they also cannot die. Okay, I guess they must be up against somethingYou have a movie where the main characters are centuries old warriors, with experience that makes them the world's most elite special ops team; on top of that they also cannot die. Okay, I guess they must be up against something serious.....vampires, demons, terminator-style robots? No....basically it's them against Martin Shkreli, the PharmaBro.

I have no idea how a writer and director can take a talented cast and huge budget and still turn in something so unimaginative, derivative and boring. At the beginning I thought to myself, "How cool would it be if this was a stealth Highlander reboot" and they'd completely hidden it from people until release. Unfortunately not. It's apparently based on a graphic novel and has none of the heart, drama or uniqueness of the earlier movie. Overpowered main characters kills waves of faceless drones in a story that seems like it would work as a pilot for a tv series (where you would hope the seasonal arc would introduce antagonists of actual weight) but as a movie It is a by-the-numbers as they come.

To pin point what’s really wrong with this movie because it should have worked but after some real long thought I realized I was putting more effort than the filmmakers.

Cast was fine, in fact it was better then this movie deserved but the dialog was bad. Almost like it was written by someone who thinks “yeah this sounds cool”. At points the one liners where so bad I half expected the music cue from csi Miami to kick in.

It’s just kinda bland in terms of cinematography. The sets were serviceable, and the plot was... meh. Between the average action and bland characters and just horrible dialogue I just realized life was too short and turned it off.

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.

Je dois dire que cette espèce de film m'a aidé également (à me décider) histoire aussi de passer le temps, car cette daube Netflix dure deux plombes entières à mourir d'ennui ! alors à l'issue ou plutôt à l'arrêt de cet étron Netflix (un de plus dans la collection "N") j'ai choisi quelle version de Charlize je préfère : c'est la version brune !

Cela étant dit (et décidé) il faut bien parler du film, de cette espèce de "film", de ce grand vide de téléfilm de deux heures qui brasse des brassées de rien mais surtout de merde pendant deux heures complètes ! ça tient quelque part de l'exploit, car meubler à ce point aussi longtemps avec "rien", on en revient pas... l'action (assez mal faite) est pourtant présente parfois mais c'est comme si il ne se passait... rien. Un prodige, vous dis-je !

Du coup, pour moi qui n'ai pas vu les "Twilight" (pas assez de courage...) je me demande si Old Guard est aussi pathétique que la saga Harlequin des vampires niaiseux ou si c'est plutôt le contraire : faudra-t-il une photo à l'arrivée pour les départager ?

Bon donc, j'aimerais quand même parler de cette production, de cette énième déjection Netflix plus en détail mais je n'ai pas trouvé dans ce "machin" assez de matière pour en parler. Il vaut mieux se torcher le cul avec, que ça serve au moins à quelque chose !

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.

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
