The Old Guard

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.

I really wanted to like this film. It's got a simple but fun premise and it's got Charlize Theron, who's a fantastic actress. But the film is just marred by plot holes, cliched characters, tacky dialogues and hands down the most inadequate music possible for this film.

It's still a passable action film if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.

So if you didn't inform yourself (I only found out watching Charlize Theron in talk shows promoting the movie), this is based on a graphic novel series. Which makes sense if you watch it - this having a background before the film was made. Now even so, that doesn't mean this will be free of cliches - quite the opposite is true.

Theron is really good and while as I mentioned you will and should be able to predict what is going to happen (even certain "twists"/betrayals and so forth). But the action is more than rock solid, even without knowing that Theron took her training very seriously! Who else would be driving around with a very real looking prop axe? Exactly! So while I understand that some might be cynical about the whole thing, you are missing out on just having fun with this. It's not the greatest movie ever made, but it doesn't pretend to be either

There were just so many clichés, cringe, and naive moments. The dialogue was also simple. The music was not all that good. The antagonist had a cartoonish evil character.

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.
