I thought this film was very entertaining. It is action packed, and has lots of very funny jokes. I enjoyed it a lot.
I loved the first one than this . This movie is kind of mess . However,it's funny and of course, there are some action scenes but the story isn't good. So, it's watchable if you don't have high expectations.
Been flicking through a load of the reviews on here and I seriously don't understand the hate. It's just a fun movie, just as crazy as the first one. It doesn't take itself too seriously, the jokes are funny and the action is great. What do you expect from this film? If you want to go and watch a fun, action packed film for an afternoon, go and check it out! If you're expecting some sort of classic, super high budget mind blowing phenomenon, go watch Avatar again or something.
This film is precisely why I enjoyed the first instalment. It's so much fun!
Of course it has some issues which I'll address, but on the whole it's an entertaining, action packed film that is enjoyable in the right areas
So what's the issues? The first 45 mins or so Salma Hayek's character was really annoying. She used that OTT and loud humour which I hate and was just generally quite a jarring character. Luckily, she definitely grows on you and by the end I loved her.
The plot itself for me has one big "flaw". And that's that the villain and the plot to destroy Europe was all just a bit pointless really. The film is designed to focus on the dynamic of the 3 main characters and that's great, but there is next to no depth or info on the villain and the plot he has to destroy Europe. I have literally just turned off the film and I honestly cannot tell you the villains name.
Other than those 2 points the film maintains what made the first film great. Good humour, fun characters and a lot of action. Which, let's be honest, is what you want in an action comedy movie. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson maintain that fun chemistry between them and it shows on screen and the added depth with Salma Hayek and Morgan Freeman just added a little more the overall dynamic which was nice.
Was it better than the first movie? I'd edge the first one personally as I found it a bit funnier. But this does keep a decent level of humour and the action is exactly what you want. Was I entertained? Yes. And ultimately that's what I want with this kind of film. 7/10 from me!

Bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) is haunted from losing a client to hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson). He lost his credentials in the aftermath. He's taking a sabbatical from violence and guns. He's kidnapped by Darius' wife Sonia (Salma Hayek) to join her in rescuing Darius. Then the trio gets kidnapped by Interpol to stop supervillain Aristotle Papdopolous (Antonio Banderas).
The first movie is a mess but I like the actors' chemistry. I especially like Salma Hayek's scene stealing turns. I thought that the movie needed to make the duo into a trio. In this sequel, that's exactly what happens. Salma Hayek becomes a central lead. She's as crazy as ever. I like her craziness coupled with Ryan Reynolds. The story remains a mess. Quite frankly, the plot doesn't really matter. It is frenetic to the point of chaotic. Nobody should care about the diamond drill. I just enjoy some of the moments with the three leads together. Everything else around them is a blur and there are great actors being wasted as supporting characters. What the franchise needs at this point is competent writing and a director willing to let these three actors cook for long stretches. It doesn't need a heavy hand at the wheel pushing the plot.

Q&A With the Cast of 'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard'
We sat down with Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek Pinault, and director Patrick Hughes from The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard to talk about on-screen slaps, spray tans, and hilarious behind-the-scenes moments.

- WissenswertesRyan Reynolds has said of being slapped around in this movie: "In Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, I'm slapped in the face twice by Salma Hayek and once by Samuel L. Jackson. For the record, it was Salma who didn't pull the punches. Not even once. I can still feel the sharp sting of her tiny hand working its way into my soft Hollywood cheekbones. May God have mercy on her soul."
- PatzerWhen demonstrating virus in Zagreb, Croatia, there is a scene with subway train derailing. There isn't any subway in Croatia.
- Zitate
Sonia Kincaid: I would make a great mother, don't you think?
Michael Bryce: Oh, my God. A child would be so lucky to have you as its host.
Sonia Kincaid: Thank you. It must be your powerful asexuality that makes you such a good listener.
- Crazy CreditsThere is one mid-credit scene that takes place and a final placeholder "Dedicated to Gary and Johan" card during the final moments. Gary and Johan "died" being decoys for Michael and Darius.
- Alternative VersionenAs was the case with their release of Rambo: Last Blood (2019), Lionsgate cut this film down from its original running time to have more screenings in the US. Other territories like Australia, Europe and Asia have the uncut 117 minute version which was screened theatrically.
