Ah, the dreaded first weekend of the year spot usually reserved for junky horror flicks. Good sign for quality there.

A "From The Studio" quote on the poster is not a good sign. Also i thought Fan Bingbing was kidnapped by the Chinese government???  Good to see she's alive and well.

She's in like three shots of the trailer total. No scenes with the rest of the girls. If she was originally supposed to have a big role in this I think it's been shredded. probably shot all her scenes under house arrest or some shit.

I thought it had maybe already been out (that those covid delay I imagine) and relooking at the trailers, there seem to be good money on the screen all around and impressive shooting on location going on.

 

But something seem to not fully gel in those trailers, the plot:

 

When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Masonwill need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie, former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah, and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Oscar®  on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it,

 

Sound so generic that it feel like you either need a twist that make it special on the genre or directing that is not a Kinberg type to elevate it with the craft of filmmaking.

Who in today's world is gonna pay to see a movie that looks like this lmao? Just shove it on Peacock and call it a day.

Got the first trailer for this a couple times recently. When I heard the moody, slowed down remix of Rihanna, I was in hysterics.

"Official trailer 2"

 

....There was an official trailer 1...the more you know.

This looks like a Netflix Original we’ll all forget ever existed 2 weeks after release

 

You guys remember The Old Guard or 6 Underground?

[Barnack]

Seem to have the very same issue has the first trailers, look like it is a battle in the editing room, generic has it come, even the dialogue they gave a code name to a secret agent to try to hide the true identity to the world.... really !

 

Characters presented has flawless, without friction to work out between them, director that has to prove that he direct a good movie and if I am not wrong still feel like BingBing was filmed with a different crew all in a different country.

This will just be another 007/Bourne wannabe.

3 days before it hits theaters and yet no reviews or buzz. Absurd that this is taking some premium theaters from Spider-Man.

From what I found, a lot of critics aren't even getting this screened until a virtual screener tomorrow night. Not sure what the embargo lift date is, but I'd have to guess it isn't until this Thursday at the earliest. Not a good sign.

[AJG]

I bet she’s fine. She didn’t want to log on and I respect that.
