Thr Old Guard Movies

Post by Ensign9 »

I remember having a good time with the first one. Part 2 is a boring pile of poop and they had the nerve to end with a cliffhanger after what was barely a movie. Woof.

The silver lining is it shows how much of a badass Uma Thurman still is -- let's hope Tarantino is inspired to finally make Kill Bill Vol. 3.

i remember watching the first but didnt see all of it.

rewatched it before hitting part two this past weekend and i thought both were solid. obviously the cliffhanger was to help prod a part 3. charlize is very believable in her role. with any movie they do take some gratuitous leaps of faith with the audience but nothing so far out there.

will surely watch a 3rd

first one was great. 2nd one was such a turd of an ending i don't even care if they do a third. Really poor decision making there.

I remember watching the first and thinking more about economics than the plot. How it probably cost a lot to have Charlize in the movie and that money was obviously missing in the production value. Made me a bit sad for the current state of film production that seems pretty well stilted toward the metrics of churning out content rather than the work of making films.

But someday, someone in the system with some weight to pull (an actor, a director, a producer, who can say) will decide they don't want their name on low-budget visuals and that movie will become a massive hit and buzzed about for the production value and the metrics pendulum will favor us with a season in the sun of movies that don't feel cheap.
