Horror fan 4 A well made action movie. another movie coming with uma thurman should be very interesting!! Tim Treakle Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Calvin T Not bad at all......part 2 should be good Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Aatje B This is in many ways technically a good movie, however, I can't help but feel annoyed at Charlize Theron's portrayal of being the "angsty tough chick". She comes across as an annoying teenager. Writing strong female characters is an absolute art, one of my favorite strong female characters is Katheryn Winnick's portrayal of Lagatha in Vikings. The Old Guard's portrayal to me is just unconvincing, Charlize Theron's acting falls flat and her teams "respect" for her seems like an act rather than convincingly portrayed. The other actors I liked however. A convincingly strong female character would've made this movie better. It's a shame Hollywood sticks to what they know instead of finding people who can fight who are actual bad-asses. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Jasper M Great cast and I really love the idea/basic concept behind the movie. For an action movie, the characters' mental health is featured surprisingly prominently but within the context of the movie that makes perfect sense and makes the story even better. At times it still feels wrong and a bit dull to see them kill everyone without there being an actual life-or-death situation for them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Jack S Check out this one for the thrilling, well crafted fight sequences and the exciting action-hero turn from Charlize, who’s simply sensational here. But apart from those qualities, the rest of The Old Guard is frankly pretty dopey! I didn’t really care much about any of the rest of the cast of comparatively underdeveloped characters (although Ejiofor lends able support). So, although I’m unenthusiastic about the sequel, I’ll likely tune in anyway if only because of Charlize. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Dimitar K The Old Guard falls disappointingly flat. The film, which somehow holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is a textbook example of style over substance — and even the style starts to wear thin quickly. From the opening scenes, it becomes painfully clear that the story is both predictable and unimaginative. The film drags through familiar action-fantasy tropes without offering anything fresh or compelling. Plot twists can be seen from miles away, and even the action sequences — which should be the film’s saving grace — feel uninspired and repetitive. What’s even more jarring is the dialogue. Conversations lack depth, emotion, and often come across as unintentionally laughable. The characters, who are supposed to carry centuries of pain and wisdom, speak like they’ve just walked out of a first draft script. There’s no real chemistry between the team, and their interactions feel more robotic than human. The Old Guard is a forgettable, overhyped action flick that squanders its potential and leaves little desire for a sequel — though Netflix has green light one anyway. DO NOT WATCH.
