Review of the film “Old Guard 2); Disaster!

The first film “The Guardians of the Long” – the Old Guard – came to Netflix exactly when everyone was watching a correct action film. With the rich world building from the Wolf Roca comics, good action directing by Gina Prince-Bidwood and a star like Charlize Theron, “Guardians of Long” became one of the most visited films in Netflix history in the midst of Corona quarantines. Such a achievement would undoubtedly remain out of the eyes of Netflix, and nothing went away from the film. A sequence that has now been released, five years after the first film; The delay in the current streaming age has suicide. The high potential of the film hoped that perhaps the sequel could repeat the former success; “Guardians of the Long A long time” but it is a disturbing launch that even fans of the previous film do not get neck. In the criticism of “Guardians of the Long,” I refer to the script for the film and the beginner’s beginner director, which Charlize Theron cannot save.

Warning! There is a danger of the story in the criticism of the film “Guardians of the Long

Criticism of the film “Guardians of the Long again”; The gradual death of a good adaptation

If you remember what happened in the film (which I am completely right to remember after five years of film), we met Andy (Charlize the Thron) and its band members such as Nile (Kiki Lin), Joe (Marwan Kennari), Nikki (Luka Marinley) and Booker (Matthias Khorani). These people have high recovery power and do not die except in certain circumstances. Among them, Andy are the oldest and the youngest of the group. They have put their mission to protect people over the centuries. But one day Andy sees he has lost his name! A shocking thing that has to be more terrifying for a person who is more than thousands of years of life; But it does not have much effect on his life. “Guardians for a long time” but a maneuver is maneuvering and does not talk about Mira and Andy for five minutes. From now on, I will not understand why you will not understand how this happens in the second film.

In “The Guardians of the Long, Andy, for more understanding of the main evil, Andy goes to a clever name named Tawa (Henry Golding) who explains that the last person is in the name of the names and if it hurts an immortal one, it will be mortal. Such a disaster comes to Andy and Booker. But at the end of the second film, Booker transfers his name (which had to be lost in his own way) to Andy, and Andy is re -invalid. I did all this, but I don’t even think that even Greg Ruk himself came from the rules and how it is transformed and transmitted!

More important than Mira’s theorem and Andy’s immortality is his older companion, Quinn (Veronica Ango). In Andy’s film, Andy explained that they were ironed in the coffin five years ago and threw it into the sea. In the new film, a mysterious person named Discord (Oma Thorman), who continues to be the first name of the whole history, finally pulls out the Quinn coffin and saves him from his hundreds of years. Quinn Kemer is revenge to punish Andy and his companions for the pain he suffered. Discords, like a classic evil, just want to kill a lot of people.

The film does not explain more about the motivations of Discord and Quinn, and the characterization of the characters is no longer going beyond. Tawa is a wise old man who we don’t see more of him for a few minutes. The relationship between good and atmosphere, Andy and Booker and the entire Kopley character (Chivitel Ajiofor) are forgotten, and Quinn is reduced to Andy’s good friend. In the end, Discords captures all the team members. In the struggle between him and Andy, we realize that the discord has become mortal and has not allowed anyone to smell it. Andy, however, cannot finish the discourse, and Oma Thorman Katana-to the promise of returning to destroy the world. Andy (now Namira) is again friendly with Quinn (who has lost his name for the sake of attainment) and goes to confront the discord. “Guardians of the Long Age” ends his story with this unprecedented ending, which is not even known in the third film.

“Guardians for a long time” is not worth watching

It is clear that “Guardians of the Long A long time” wants to expand the world and the rules of the story more than the first film, but it has not succeeded in making nothing more complicated. I do not know how the laws of the dampness and the name are explained (or explained) in the main comics, but the strangely that Greg Ruk – the comic author who has written alongside Sara El Walker – has not been adapted to the rules of his comic world.

If we have nothing to do with the comics, we have seen the minimum adaptation, which was Roca’s own work. The first film is a character-centered movie with good-natured characters and scenes; But its sequel has none of them. With the new characters added to the story, “Guardians of the Long A long time” does not even have the opportunity to deal with the main hero correctly, let alone a good, atmosphere and a bookstore. In the past, Andy and Quinn are the only references to the design of the clothing and the budgetary décor of these flashbacks, I wish the same references would have been; Discords and his motivations until the end of the film remain in a state of ambiguity; The characters change color to advance the story, and the end of the film sends our heroes to a journey that may never reach the destination.

In addition, the relationship between Andy and Quinn, which must be the center of the gravity of the story, is quickly forgotten because of all the noise surrounding them. Even the emotional dialogue that occurs for the first time between them for the first time, leads to an inappropriate action sequence. With a noble screenplay, which it is unclear how Roca has shown green lights, all the action sequences in the “long -lasting guards” have come out of the water, and there is no creativity or skill in the performance. The special effects of the film are of poor quality. Even Andy and Discord’s double struggle, which after Kill Bill gives our hands again, we can’t excite you.

The responsibility of these deficiencies, in addition to Netflix’s shower, who has been out of a sequel to the success of “Guardians from a long time”, is also returned to the film’s director. In the film 1, Jenna Prince-Bidwood (director of the first film) replaced Victoria Mahmon, who has no other special achievement in its career, except directed by Sky Walker’s Second Unit and a few episodes of television series, and this disagreement in directing an action film is completely. The inhumane that has made “guards of long -standing 2” have basically a spectacular film. But despite the horrific criticism and privileges of the film, Netflix is ​​not reduced. Perhaps even to the demands of the few remaining “Guards for a long time” and returning it to the third film.

The film is wasting Charlize Tron’s abilities

Charlize the Thron, who once won an Oscar for Monster, has been wasted for several times in popcorn action films. The “Guardians of the Long”, which could have been the beginning of an attractive action franchise with Tron -focused, has become a waste of time and energy with its sequel. Of course, Charlize Theron does not work. Looking at his ability as an action actor in films such as Ian Flux, Max: Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic Blonde, he also performs a great physical and emotional performance. One double action sequence with Veronica Ango (Quinn), another with Uma Sarman and several other scenes during the film, again confirm this power.

Tron not only plays the action scenes with power and boldness, which has taken more emotional moments. The film goes back to the tragedy of Andy and Quinn’s separation, which was referred to in the first film, and is now one of the central points of the story in “Guardians of the Long Long”. Although the script has not given Tron good dialogues and has basically closed his hand for any impressive performance, Tron leaves everything for his emotional conversations with Quinn or Booker’s death scene. Charlize the Tron deserves his ability to build a franchise like John Wake. But Netflix has proven with “Guardians of the Long again”, this is not a franchise we have to get to the Tron to shine.
