Charlize Theron teaming with John Wick Directors for 'Atomic Blonde'

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Fanlike saw this, really enjoyed it, Cast was great in their roles, and Charlize certainly brought it in the action scenes. The plot was a little muddled, and the pacing was off, 10-15 mins could have easily been shaved off to make the movie flow better. But these are minor gripes, enjoyed it a lot otherwise.

Also, bravo for naked Charlize and Sofia . 7.5/10

This was alright. Not bad but not very good either. The story really felt unnecessarily muddled by the end. Would have been better off as a straight action movie with less twists.

Charlize is a certified badass but I feel she looked slow at times and the action scenes lacked the dynamism of other recent action fares. The standout action sequence was the stairway fight but even that felt very uninspired. The action lacked imagination and looked repetitive. I mean it was like, let's grab the guy/girl in front of you and throw him/her around and smash him/her against the nearest wall.

McAvoy was the MVP here. He was magnetic in his role.

Someone compared his role to that of Paul Giamatti's role in Shoot 'Em Up and he's right on the money.

McAvoy totally hams it up here like Giamatti did in Shoot 'Em Up and he really elevates the movie. He alone makes it interesting to follow. The movie would have been boring if it wasn't for his kkkrazzy antics. I was honestly looking forward to his scenes more than any action sequences.

Atomic Blonde 2 is currently slated for Netflix:
ATOMIC BLONDE 2 Reportedly In Early Development For Netflix; Charlize Theron Expected To Return

Overall, the first film took things as far it possibly could especially with the last end twist reaching into superhero Black Widow like territory.

The first film wasn't a be to continued type of film but we'll see what happens.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think there are places they can take the story, the first movie was okay so I would watch a sequel.

 

[Fincher]

I loved the first one, so I'm down for this.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yes! I hope it has a thumping 80s soundtrack like the movie

 

[DarkKnight88]

I'd rather Theron do the Mad Max spinoff than this, but whatever.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yes! I hope it has a thumping 80s soundtrack like the movie

Yeah the sound track was awesome. It's a shame Sofia Boutella can't be back though.

Loved this film. For my money, it’s better than any John Wick movie and I’m glad to see Theron returning for round 2.

The action was pretty great in that first movie for sure and its going to be awesome seeing Theron return for a sequel, but man a Atomic Blonde/John Wick crossover would be EPIC and it saddens me that it will likely never happen unless they somehow just make Theron a completely different character which I would still be down for.
