Argylle Reviews
Argylle is a fun spy action comedy full of Great action scenes, great performances that will you have fully invested in the characters with loads of fun unexpected twists. If you know Vaughns style you can expect silly, wild outlandish and campy
| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Feb 6, 2025
It's almost impressive how visually ugly the sad excuse of a film Argylle is. From the obnoxious opening to its cringe conclusion, it's a low point in an otherwise good movie year.

By the end, the film gets a little too repetitive for my liking, making some of its final twists more underwhelming than what I would have hoped for in the last act of the movie.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 14, 2024
While not completely uninspired or tedious, the film does come off as rather lacklustre and artificial. The charm that usually exudes from Matthew Vaughn’s other works is just not present here.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 2, 2024
It doesn't take any of its aspects seriously, which allows it to exude freshness when crafting its many gags and evolving a plot that pushes the suspension of disbelief to its limits.

Thanks to some stylistic direction and a script that doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s an overall good time even though it lingers on for too long.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 28, 2024
Argylle is many things at once, and very often, it doesn’t feel like it knows what it wants to be.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 27, 2024
It’s a film high on action and absurdity, but at the expense of not fully unlocking a tone that balances out the spy world/real-world dynamics that Kingsman: The Secret Service pulled off close to a decade ago.
| Original Score: C | Jul 8, 2024
If you're gifted with a high tolerance for plot contrivances, unanswered questions, and thin character development, have at it.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 4, 2024
Argylle is a case of diminishing returns even before it hits the halfway mark. A film that I want to like more than I actually do, and one I doubt I’ll return to again.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 2, 2024
Argylle is deeply unpleasant to watch and also deeply sad as a query of what exactly studio executives think audiences are meant to glean from a film like this, other than training us to expect less from our films.

A mix between an action spectacle and a highly entertaining romantic comedy (Full review in Spanish)
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 17, 2024
Considering how long and derivative this volume is, I have a feeling most moviegoers may close the book on Argylle.

Indoor girlies can have ONE stupid spy caper celebrating shy gals and their cat pals and the dancing madmen who occupy more fantasy real estate than people like to talk about.

It’s LONG, loud, incoherent and boring [...] pure torture.
| Original Score: D | May 25, 2024
This overly elaborate spy romp from Matthew Vaughn may have a star-studded cast of character actors, but barely does anything original in its extended running time. Not even Henry Cavill can save Argylle from mediocrity.

Argylle isn’t exactly groundbreaking, and though it is certainly fun, it runs long enough that it ends up dragging near the end. But it delivers enough laughs and twists (not to mention a memorable female lead) to be worth a watch.

Argylle has the uneasy feel of a movie that seemed great in theory but just doesn’t work in execution. Despite his insistence on style style STYLE – albeit without the stylishness that would render it artful instead of egregious clowning...

The cast is game, the music is good, and the action toes that line between exciting and farcical to keep the audience engaged even if the motives and plot are as simple as simple can be.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 12, 2024
The film’s biggest asset are the many twists and turns in the story. One or two you can see coming but there are a couple of genuine shockers that completely turn the movie on its head.
