Review of The Old Guard (2020) by Sm0Keytarantula — 11 Jul 2020
This is woke on steriods and Netflix just keeps on giving!
That's too bad because the concept of the story is actually cool and entertaining. But all the the PC stuff felt forced and pulls you out of the story. Also, the pop music they use in this film is out of place and down right ridiculous.
Being a woman myself, I'm a big fan of strong female characters, like Ripley in the Alien series and Sarah Connor in T2, just to name a couple. Unfortunately, Charlize Theron was not able to pull it off with her forced tomboyish IDGAF behavior. It just wasn't believable. But kudos to her, she did the best with what she was given.
Oh and I do take note what Netflix and the director of this film tried to villainize. But I'm not surprised anymore in 2020.
