Is the goddess really old? Cannon fodder at the end? Distressed!

At the moment when the film and television industry is sweeping the world in the cold winter, the summer without blockbuster action is extremely difficult.

Just when the longing for the popcorn cool movie was almost beyond restraint, a comic change action movie was launched on Netflix!

Long drought meets nectar, long winter sees the sun.

Looking closely , the name of the heroine Theron exudes an extremely dazzling light.

In "Magic Woman Warrior", "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" and "Cryogenic City", the queen who was domineering and slaughtering the Quartet is back!

This time not only did the force value reach its full point, but it also broke through the limits of human physiology!

With an immortal body, she exists like a god.

She is the woman who has been alone for a long time-Andy.

At the age of 6,000 , she was born a thousand years earlier than the Chinese civilization.

Not only did the years leave no trace on her face, but it also gave her an immortal body and the power to bring her back to life.

The same is true for her other three teammates.

Joe and Nicky are a pair of lovers, who belonged to opposite camps and met during the Crusades .

Booker is the little fresh meat among the four. He discovered abilities in the Napoleonic Wars of 1812 .

They were once enshrined in Buddhist altars and put on gallows.

Faced with such a fickle human being, one can only act in a low-key manner.

Although claiming to be immortal , no life is truly eternal. One day the wound will no longer heal and the divine power will eventually disappear.

They were not deterred by the unknown deadline, but reluctantly chose to fight for justice.

Colip, a former CIA agent who had worked with him, came to ask for help.

Terrorist organizations are doing things everywhere, and the situation is very critical.

Under a low-key confidentiality and anonymity policy, the team never does business with repeat customers.

But the suffering African people are calling.

Andy, who was reluctant in every possible way, moved a heart of compassion, and in the end he was righteous and rescued the hostages with his teammates .

Teaming up for so long, the tacit understanding is naturally seamless, and effortlessly went straight to the house of the hostages.

But I never expected that there was no child in the house waiting for rescue.

They were greeted by the waiting ambush and drifting heavy rain bullets.

Rescue the dying and heal the wounded mutant group lunch.

The silly villain ambushes that this will be able to send away the four turtles in the urn.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist team will be talented first, and secondly, the anti-riot death halo will be added.

After getting up tremblingly, he killed all the ambush soldiers after three times.

It's definitely not just to show off skills.

The camera had already been installed in the house, and Colip's chin in front of the screen had already fallen to the ground in fright.

The identity has been exposed, the top priority is to follow the clues to find James.

But at this juncture, God seems to think that the organizational structure of this small team that has not changed for more than 200 years is too single, the staff turnover rate is too poor, and the most important thing is that it fails to keep up with the current mainstream political direction.

There is no time to delay, and fresh blood must be injected immediately.

She is here for this newcomer who shoulders key assessment indicators such as multiculturalism and gender balance in the group!

Nair is a U.S. soldier stationed in Afghanistan. During the mission, terrorists cut their throats brutally.

Resurrected from the dead, she was not only regarded as a monster by her comrades who fought side by side in the past .

The upper part is going to send her to the laboratory for a good examination. Isn't this the rhythm of being a living guinea pig?

Whenever a new immortal is born, the members of the group will receive the video clips synchronously in their brains.

Andy followed the vines, and arrived in time for the critical moment!

There was no time to explain, so he stunned and ran away.

Are you sure this is really about enrollment expansion rather than human trafficking?

The confused newcomer instinctively thought of running away, and Andy had a precise headshot without saying a word .

What a harmonious and friendly team this is!

After the enthusiastic welcome event, the leader finally remembered to explain the corporate culture of the group.

After the dungeon is played, the newcomer joins the team, and we return to the main task.

At the same time, the efficiency of the three male players was relatively lagging, and there was no progress in tracing Collip's whereabouts.

I had no choice but to agree to meet in Paris before proceeding to the next activity.

Unexpectedly, the five people had just met and were attacked that night .

It's hard to keep the audience from wondering if there is an inner ghost after revealing their whereabouts one after another .

But there is no rush through the screen, the screenwriter just keeps the heroine from realizing this problem.

With two fists hard to beat with four hands, the five weak-powered people were ruthlessly suppressed by a prepared raid.

In Brawl, Joe and Nicky were taken away in battle.

Colip and the CEO of a multinational pharmaceutical company (Dali? Is it you, Dali!) are embarrassed.

In an attempt to analyze the secret of immortality through modern technology,

Under the guise of developing anti-cancer drugs for the benefit of the public, they are in fact only seeking economic benefits to dominate the world.

Seeing that the bitter mandarin duck is about to be made into braised pigeon by the pharmaceutical factory.

At this time, she was planning to go to rescue Andy and found that the wound on her body could not heal immediately.

The high goddess fell to the mortal world, her ability disappeared...

In the face of internal and external troubles, can the goddess rescue teammates from escape?

No spoiler, see for yourself.

As a cool action film that emphasizes setting, the world view of this work is undoubtedly outstanding. Theron, who was filming "Cold City" at the time, decided to join the work after seeing this comic.

The powerful settings are really eye-catching, but after reading it, there is a deep sense of drop.

Seeing them holding their heads and scurrying around is too awkward, we have lived for thousands of years anyhow, and it's terrible to be mixed up like this.

After all, divine power is not eternal, so it is too risky to be physically active in the front line, and the efficiency is also low.

There are only a few people all over the world who have taken orders, and have been rescued by running and breaking their legs.

Haven't you thought about using the wisdom that spans thousands of years to build a business empire foundation or something.

Then use economic levers to move the whole world , turn your hands for the clouds and cover your hands for the rain, so that it will be more convenient for the general public.

In fact, there is no need for a more macro perspective and a more far-reaching dimension. Just engage in reselling of artworks and you can be rich...

The only explanation is that the goddess loves the people eagerly,

We must personally feel the suffering of the world, and vowed to resonate with all living beings in the context of the times.

Although under the title of Manga, the film is not strictly a superhero movie from the ground up.

The characters in the original comics are entirely around the heroine. Regardless of the villain, even the shaping of the other members of the protagonist group is almost nothing.

The movie version has added a lot of scenes to them.

The confession of the fateful mandarin duck, the reasons for the players to turn against the water, Nair's struggle...

The screenwriter (and the original author of the comics) strives to make everyone come alive.

The role of the heroine is obviously endowed with multiple colors of loneliness, dying, and constant loss.

These elements will make the movie more real, more restrained, and give the film more layers and depth.

Let's talk about the action after the setting is finished.

Since it is an action movie, it will undoubtedly depend on the exciting action scenes and fighting design to impress the audience.

The perfect combination of action power and beauty designed by David Reich for Theron in "Cold City" is dazzling and unforgettable.

In order to show the style of several warriors with thousands of years of combat experience, the action guide of this film,

Judo, Aikido, Indonesian boxing, Chinese martial arts, taekwondo, classical wrestling, kendo, etc. are all combined with various genres of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign elements.

The result of too many styles mixed together is that there is no style.

The director's previous works are mostly small-cost romance movies, which are obviously incapable of action themes.

Coupled with the single routine and the confusing angle of the handheld camera shooting, the final result is very worrying.

However, the performance of the goddess, who is nearly 50 years old, is still eye-catching this time, and almost all the action scenes are completed in person.

Seeing her with a gun in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, the tomahawk in her palm cut out ten directions of lightning, slay was miserable!

But in the absence of stylized design and lens language,

Even if the goddess has the power to return to heaven, she can't save the essence of the film's pipeline network.

Netflix has been making great strides in the field of film and television recently. Although it has been calling for high-quality products for many years, the quality of its original websites is mostly horrible.

As the epidemic is rampant, Netflix, which is in short supply of popular superhero IPs, is also making new attempts.

The problem with the plot of the film is more or less related to the responsibility of the opening of the comic.

The following details have not yet been developed, the powerful villain only appeared at the end, and the love and killing of her and Andy is the highlight of this series. host

The performance has been signed, and the sequel is firmly established.

Just begging the next story to win some breath, don't let the queen alone.

The Old Guard quotes

  • Soldier: What is he? Your boyfriend?

    Joe: You're a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia. His heart overflows with the kindness of which this world is not worth of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He's all and he's more.

    Nicky: You're an incurable romantic.

    [Joe and Nicky kiss in front of the stunned guards]

  • Andy: Well, sometimes you got to work with people, you don't want to eat with.
