‘The Old Guard 2’ slammed with negative reviews
The highly awaited sequel to the film starring Charlize Theron, 'The Old Guard' is finally out
The highly awaited sequel to the film starring Charlize Theron, The Old Guard is finally out on Netflix.
However, it seems the long wait did not pay off, since audiences are not very happy with the movie.
As one user explained, “I literally just created an account just to write this because that's how baffled I am. It's not every day I watch a movie and feel like I've been robbed of two hours I'll never get back. The first movie? Not exactly Oscar-worthy, but hey, it did its job as a popcorn flick. This sequel though? A two-hour cinematic lullaby. And when the credits finally roll after what feels like an eternity you'll blink, look around, and wonder if your TV accidentally skipped an entire final act. Then comes the existential crisis: this actually got made. By real people. With a budget. And probably a marketing team. Let that sink in.”
Viewers expressed their frustration at the fact that the sequel served as a setup for the next movie, “It's ultimately a waste of time and resources, offering little more than a drawn-out teaser for the third film. It's frustrating that it's being marketed as a standalone movie when, in reality, it functions more like an extended trailer - a transparent attempt to squeeze more money out of the franchise. The plot is painfully predictable, filled with recycled tropes and no real sense of suspense or originality. The acting feels hollow, with the cast more focused on striking dramatic poses than delivering genuine emotion.”
“Andy leads immortal warriors against a powerful enemy threatening their group. They grapple with the resurfacing of a long-lost immortal, complicating their mission to safeguard humanity,” reads the synopsis of the film.
