The Old Guard Reviews
I’m half way thru the movie and still not understanding why anyone would want to kill a fighting force like this one. I will try and stay awake to figure it out.
Crazy idea, stretched beyond believability, thus often becoming cornball to the max. However, Charlize Theron was luminescent and newcomer (to me) Kiki Lane was strong & believable in an unbelievable movie. Andromache? How dull. Why make her the prehistoric Great Goddess herself?
Loved it, can't wait to see the sequel... if it ever comes out
Some exciting action cant hide the ridiculous story-line and boring plot. I forced myself to watch the final 20 minutes, by which time I had entirely lost interest in this facile fantasy. If you are 13-15 you might enjoy it. Not adult entertainment, although Theron as producer and main actor, is always captivating to watch. Why she thought this was a great project for her immense acting skils and stunning screen persona, is beyond me.
Did not expect to really like this, but I REALLY liked this. It obviously could have been better, but if a sequel comes out I will jump on watching it!
Great action movie, not an entirely original concept of course, but much more satisfying than Highlander. The characters are relatable and the balance of fantasy and reality is just right; these guys are hard to kill but they can be hurt, and not just physically. It hits all the right emotional notes and delivers the goods.
This film is absolutely dreadful in every way. Poor script, terrible story full of clichés, probably the worst "pantomime" villain ever and, my God, the action music is intolerable. I skipped entire scenes and still feel cheated that I will never get my wasted viewing time back. I implore you: don't waste yours.
Awsome flim, can't wait for the second one.
Nothing to stand out from the many others.
Magnificent...must watch!
I really enjoyed it. Characters are interesting, the plot is plausible compared to the rest of the genre, and the action scenes show a team that fights like a well oiled machine. I really love this.
This movie I really really liked! I enjoyed the cast. I liked the story. I watched it a couple of times and I’m looking forward to see what they do with the next chapter.
When coming here to write a review, I learned something new - there's a comic! I came into this movie blind an was pleasantly surprised. The powers that the immortals have reminds me A LOT of Wolverin's powers - maybe the same? There were a few small snafus and things that didn't make sense, but overall I loved it. I really wish I could say part of the story is unrealistic, but it's not. While some things are definitely for entertainment, there's a lot that we have seen and will continue to see in terms of the science field. The actors were all amazing and fit their part perfectly. I hope this turns into a series!Great movie!
Excellent movie. Really cool to see a select few immortals as outliers to society that are purely just immortal. They don't have any superpowers, they just are. It was a fun mix of historical prejudices weaving into more current events, greed of government, butt kicking, and a dash of mythology! I would looovvve to see the backstory and futurestory continue in a second movie or a spinoff series - they left room for it so get on it producers!!!
These warriors are not just unstoppable, but they're un-killable! As a group of immortals use their skills to protect humanity, they are lured into a trap by people who want to use their longevity for their own ends. With an impressive cast of characters with a fascinating premise, these unknown heroes manage to leave their mark!
I enjoyed this movie, loved all the action etc but I was distracted by Charlene Theron's pierced ears - if her body kept rehealing and expelling bullets etc, how on earth did she keep her earrings in?
Interesting premise. Kept my attention. I think the sequel has the possibility of being better.
Theron's great talent is being 100% credible regardless of the role, which is exactly what this movie needed to work. Also, its a lot sadder than you'd expect which, given the silly premise, is quite the achievement.
Move for one time. Not bad, but nothing special.
Annoying, senseless. Kiki fighting with full makeup in Afghanistan. More an advertising for cosmetics in hostile surroundings than a movie. A bit of hard metrosexuality and the bad corporation. I really tried hard to watch till the end but I surrendered.
