The Old Guard

I didn't read the comic so I went in blind. I loved it. The story, the action, the fight scenes. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I hope they have a sequel or series.

The premise was good, but they didn't got to do something interesting with it. It was kind of a bore all the way. Also, the soundtrack is one of the worst I've ever witnessed in a movie.

As this film is based on a comic book, similarities r inevitable but it is a solid action thriller. A short summary - A small group of centuries old soldiers who r trapped in an immortality with the ability to heal themselves must save each other from being caged by big pharma companies. They soon realize that it is harder to hide in this 21st century and so must get organized to erase their footprints but at the same time deal with past grievances.

The cinematography n editing r top notch. There is no shaky cam or darkly shot scenes. The hand to hand combat n gun fight sequences r noteworthy. Charlize Theron is in awesome shape and all the other actors gave good performances. Another highlight is the music.

I always like my villains bad as hell. The adversary here was not terrifying, at all. With that said, this movie was entertaining. Maybe Charlize Theron makes up for the downsides. She is awesome.

Easy viewing, great fight choreography and action scenes. The plot was simply and predictably executed but remained entertaining throughout. Great individual performances but would of been better as a series to allow for some proper character development.
