Movie Review ~ The Old Guard 2 (2025)

Hello everyone, I am going to review The Old Guard 2 movie.

Seeing the first part of the film, my experience at that time (which is about 4 to 5 years ago) was exactly the same. But yes, I really enjoyed the film. At the same time, I did criticize the length of the film perhaps 2 hours or a little more. Apart from this, the story of this film was carried forward on the adaptation of the graphic novel or comic book, it was completely mixed with the agenda of the Netflix people.

Again, I would say that according to the first part, the world building and the characters - all this in a very good way, or rather, I would say, properly understanding, shows us a movie with a time pass according to a one-time watch. After that moment, I never looked back.

But one of the hopes I had from the inside was the way the sequel was teased at the end of the film - that going forward, when Quynh returns, that too after several hundred years, what will change? And how much of the secret behind his immortality, which was only teased in the film in the first part, will be explored this time?

When the announcement of the sequel of this film came - which came out very late - and now I am not talking about the up and down situation of the production, but the problems of the production of the film 'Behind the Scenes' - in which it seemed that the second part would never be made.

But then, consoling myself, I had accepted that let's go, if there is a sequel to the film, then it is okay, otherwise the ignoring category will be fine. Then if there is interest, I will turn the pages of the comic book and revise them thoroughly.

Because that was the only region to give continuity to this story - where did this immortality come from? And now is she even maintaining balance or not?

This situation also we get to see again with the whole group of Andromache - Where the danger of going near the moment of death has been hovering over them, but along with this, now Uma Thurman's character Discord has also been introduced, which has some connection with the past.

Apart from this, Henry Golding has also been introduced to the character named Tao while giving his participation in this team. What kind of connection will be made with the character named Nile - that you will get by watching this 2-hour film.

In which the director of the old film Gina Prince is not involved in any way. That is, she came up with the project One Deal and Done, where she gave a good performance as a director.

But perhaps Netflix was not able to completely move on from this chapter, so the responsibility of making this film was given to a director named Victoria Mahoney. I don't know his name at all.

But when a fresh director steps into a ready-built universe with a completely different vision, his creativity changes many things definitively.

And even in this film (the trailer which I didn't see) after watching the film, things have changed in a very bad way.

Anyway, we'll talk about all of that later.

Movie Casting

The rest of the casting is good and somewhere if you have seen the first part, then the interest to watch the second part becomes yours.

So following up the same interest, the first part I saw that time pass, this time in the second part you can sit and watch with some new family.

So friends, I've talked about this movie a lot. So yes, let's review our one word on that clearly now -

I thought this sequel of this film was made by Netflix in a Desperate Move attempt.

After the feedback of the first part, which was made well, you took 4-5 years at most - so in that gap, you could improve the story and the universe in a very good way, as Netflix often does.

But what did Netflix do? He has brought back the format of the first part just character wise.

Apart from this, there was no other reason to watch this film that I should spend my time on it.

Which I have ruined very badly by giving it definitively.

So much so that the frustration is high on peak. But I will say this in moderation - that it will not be at all right for you to give your time to this film.

The first part was okay according to One Time Watch.

Now let's talk about the flaws of this film -

So let's start with the look of Forty Then.

Brother, what a look! It has been designed keeping in mind today's generation, and their entire team also looked very shabby.

Equally bad is the story of this film - which, without any head-to-toe, pulls you to the pointless story in such a way that there is no limit.

There was only one region to watch this film from above - action, action, action.

What is missing from this film is that when it comes on screen, it feels like watching a B-grade Hollywood film.

It fits into exactly the same category.

Seeing this kind of action, the passion inside me has completely died for the third part of this film.

Yes, if you are thinking that the third part will not be made -
Well, no announcement has been made.

But here's how the film ends. My brother was a clickbait.

Definitely a half-ending, which probably the Netflix guys felt while making it - that let's make a 2-hour movie, now stop here.

If the production gives the expenses of the next part, then we will make it, otherwise we will give the cancellation paper in the hands of the director.

Because in their creativity, I didn't see anything equal to zero here.

The makeup department has done a poor job, The VFX is poor. The green screen is clearly visible.

Every actor has signed a sequel just for the paycheck.

Maybe the Netflix people have saved the installments - that they will play a big role in the future.

Just to fulfill those conditions, everyone has acted in vain.

It felt so bad that the best of the talented actors, like the battle of Uma Thurman vs. Charlize Theron, which was the only good scene at the end of the movie - that felt a little bit right.

The rest of the film is very dull.

The same torture is the story of this film and the character of the lead Nile.

The only good closure - the character of the booker, which was closed here.

The rest of the characters go to shit.

The film ends with a cliffhanger.

So I'm thinking of ending the video in the same way.

Yes, this review is exactly what you thought it was.

So the film will be kept in the B category by the mass audience.

According to the critics - B −,

But me?

I'll put this movie in the lousy D category and say this:
A complete waste of time.

I wish! I would have seen the trailer, so that I would have been prepared in advance - which mud I am going to land in.

Well, this was my opinion about Netflix's lousy film The Old Guard 2 released this week.

Be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments - if you've seen the movie.
