Part of

The Old Guard Collection

The Old Guard is a series of films based on the comic book series of the same name, created by writer Greg Rucka and artist Leandro Fernández. The series revolves around a group known as the Old Guard, a small but skilled team of individuals who seemingly cannot die...and yet cannot seem to fade away. Cursed with immortality, Andromache of Scythia and her comrades-in-arms ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, being immortal is a difficult secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates far worse than death.

The longest filler episode I've watched. There is no reason besides money that this film is nearly 2 hours long. It could've been a 5-10 minute intro to catch people up, but instead they drew it out to have an entire film. With barely any lines to learn, this movie leans heavily on needless action and a confusing plot that leads up to "and next time on The Old Guard". There is no mystery, no real tension, one or two "surprising" revelations, and very little to hang on to. Even with a half-functioning brain, this film won't be distracting enough to warrant its full attention. If you really want to follow what's going on in the series, just wait for the next film where they'll have some flashbacks, read a synopsis of this one, or watch this at 1.5x speed. You will have saved 2 hours of your life.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/the-old-guard-2-movie-review-setup-instead-of-depth-in-a-stumbling-sequel/ "The Old Guard 2 is a mixed bag - a sequel that improves in some areas but regresses in others. Its action remains entertaining, bolstered by committed performances and sharp choreography. Thematically, it dares to ask meaningful questions about destiny, power, and morality, even if it struggles to answer them in a satisfying manner. But a sluggish pace, tonal inconsistencies, and an overemphasis on setting up future installments dilute what could have been a sharper, more impactful story. Fans of the first film might find enough to enjoy, but it's hard to shake the feeling that this franchise is losing sight of what made it special in the first place. Now, I merely hope the inevitable third chapter finally strikes the right balance between character, action, and world-building." Rating: C

66/100 The 1st Immortal drags an old friend into all their business and she wants to burn the world down. This is a simple action film which carries on well from the first film. Nothing really remarkable here; the action is fine, the story is mildly complex and everything works for the most part. It's strength is its characters who were all a lot of fun and deep enough to care about. Overall, this is one of those films most people will dislike because it's not on the same level as other action films but we found it to be perfectly fine escapist entertainment. Sequel coming?? -- DrNostromo.com
