HMF B Great actors, light hearted fun, a hint of violence. Perpetuates the myth of the perfect Englishman very nicely. Very much enjoyed it.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Daniel S How to Waste Two Hours of Your Life!! I went into this movie with moderate expectations, considering its high rating. However, I wasn't blown away, nor was I overhyped. In the end, the experience felt like a total mess. The film tried to juggle too many tones - a serious spy thriller on one hand and a quirky comedy on the other. While movies can certainly blend both successfully, this one missed the mark. The execution was so off that it completely took me out of the experience. As for the spy-thriller aspects, it was hard to take seriously. The plot was absurdly over-the-top and riddled with unrealistic moments, to the point where it bordered on outright silliness. And when it came to the comedy, I found it flat and unfunny. The gags, like the "nuclear head explosions" and the McDonald's served on a silver platter, felt more ridiculous than humorous. While I understand that English humor can differ from American tastes, I generally enjoy British comedies - Monty Python, Snatch, Mr. Bean, even some of the Bond films. Yet here, the humor felt forced and uninspired. Worse, the genuinely funny moments had already been spoiled in the trailers, leaving little to laugh at in the movie itself. The action, while occasionally entertaining, leaned far too heavily into the absurd. Some of the bullet-time sequences were decent, but the church massacre scene was unnecessarily drawn out and exaggerated. It's hard to stay immersed when fight scenes last for minutes on end, yet the characters emerge unscathed, barely out of breath. Compare that to real athletes, like professional boxers or MMA fighters, who are visibly drained after just one round. The over-the-top action sequences didn't elevate the movie; they only made it harder to suspend disbelief. Now, let's talk about the protagonist and the "recruitment/training" arc. This part of the story was where the movie completely lost me. The main character - a reckless, rebellious kid with a background in gymnastics - somehow transforms into a world-class spy with minimal training. The recruitment process itself was more of a series of cruel "no-win" scenarios than an actual learning experience. I understand the goal was to test the recruits and find the best of the best, but it never felt believable. Gymnastics and daddy issues don't make someone an unstoppable secret agent overnight. By the end, when he confronts his mom's bully, I found myself asking, "What has he actually done to earn these skills?" The whole arc felt lazy and underdeveloped. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, story doesnt really make enough sense for higher rating but fun to watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Gerard B An amazing, funny, action packed movie. One of my all time favorites. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review André Ferreira F Uma direção muito interessante faz com que este filme se destaque em comparação com outros do género. O filme também é muito divertido, porém utiliza demasiado CGI, ao ponto que algumas das cenas ficam muito estranhas. Mesmo assim, vale a pena.
