The Old Guard (2020)
Massive disappointment
What should have been a great movie was hopelessly botched. An interesting premise, a couple of solid actors ( Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor) and some slick fight choreography are completely drowned by horrible pacing, stilted dialogue and a bizarre score choice. So many silent brooding stretches should have been used instead to flesh out the characters. We were never told enough about them to care very much at all. This is very very obviously the first of a series and it is a very bare bones introduction. There was only enough material here to fill about an hour long TV show, but it is stretched out to over 2 hours and with the pacing problems and weird ponderous score, feels longer still.
Bad Ben: The Mandela Effect (2018)
Good cheesy fun
Funny as hell! Laughed out loud several times. Will probably even watch it again. Its just fun.
