Theron vs. Thurman: Critics aren’t impressed with ‘The Old Guard 2’
- The film The Old Guard 2 has been released on Netflix and has largely received negative reviews from critics.
- The sequel experienced significant production and post-production delays, attributed by star Charlize Theron to leadership changes at Netflix.
- Critics widely panned the film, describing it as an “emotionally inert slog” with a “dull and underdeveloped script,” and criticizing its perceived cheapness and excessive exposition.
- Despite the overall negative reception, the addition of Uma Thurman to the cast was highlighted as a positive by some reviewers, including The New York Times.
- The original 2020 film was a record-breaker for Netflix, but the sequel's critical reception suggests it has struggled to meet expectations.
