Early Reviews For Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard Are Very Mixed

Not every major movie needs to be designed as high art, and sometimes it can be more than enough to fitfully entertain an audience for a couple of hours before immediately fading from the public consciousness. That was certainly the case for buddy actioner The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and it looks as though sequel Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is walking a very similar path.

The entire selling point behind the two-film series is watching charismatic stars bouncing off each other and lobbing improvised insults back and forth, with the sardonic wit of Ryan Reynolds counteracted by the brilliantly creative profanity of Samuel L. Jackson. That’s the appeal in a nutshell, so it’s no surprise that most of the criticism directed towards the second installment is leveled against flimsy plotting, one-note characters and the notion that everyone’s just here for the paycheck and nothing more.

We’ll have our own review up over the next couple of days, but at the time of writing Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is sitting on a weak Rotten Tomatoes score of just 27%. The opener topped out at 43% on the aggregation site, but fans rated it at a much higher 67%, and something as sleek and glossy watching the likes of Reynolds, Jackson, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman getting caught up in a comic crime caper is always going to have an eye on appealing directly to its desired demographic over what the critics are saying.

After the last year and a half everyone’s had, sometimes something as instantly disposable as Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is exactly what the people need to provide no-frills entertainment, so it should at least be guaranteed to do decent business at the box office when it hits theaters next Wednesday.

Watch: Netflix Drops New Clip For Karen Gillan’s Gunpowder Milkshake

It might be a broad generalization, but Netflix appears to be drawing inspiration from the John Wick playbook when it comes to deciding which original action movies to acquire and debut exclusively on the platform.

Extraction saw Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake embark on a hand-to-hand, weaponized and vehicular path of destruction that wasn’t too dissimilar to Keanu Reeves’ sharp-suited assassin barreling his way through the New York City underworld, while September’s Kate is produced by John Wick co-director David Leitch’s 87North banner, who’ve cornered the market in bone-crunching choreography thanks to all four Wick installments, Atomic Blonde and Nobody.

The latest Netflix original that looks to be indebted to Reeves’ blockbuster franchise is Gunpowder Milkshake, with the concept of elite assassins The Librarians bearing more than a passing resemblance to the wider mythology of the Continental Hotel and its various bases around the world. The streaming service has released a new clip offering some expositional backstory ahead of the movie’s release next month, which you can check out below.

Karen Gillan stars as a woman following in her mother’s footsteps, but naturally a job goes wrong, leaving her in charge of an 8 year-old girl and seeking reinforcements. A balls to the wall R-rated actioner with Gillan, Lena Headey, Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino cast as trained killers fending off the threat of Paul Giamatti and his goons in prime scenery chewing form sounds like a hell of a good time, and having sat on the shelf for two years before finally debuting on Netflix, there’s every chance Gunpowder Milkshake could end up launching a multi-film series of its own, depending on who’s left standing when the credits roll.

Watch: Fear Street Trailer Teases Netflix’s Ambitious Horror Trilogy

Horror has never really been viewed as an integral part of Netflix’s strategy to relentlessly deliver new movies to its customer base of over 200 million subscribers, but that could all be set to change if the upcoming Fear Street trilogy manages to draw in big viewership numbers.

Adapted from the books of the same name by Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, Leigh Janiak has co-written and directed three interconnected horror movies spanning centuries, and Fear Street Part 1: 1994, Fear Street Part 2: 1978, and Fear Street Part 3: 1666 will arrive in consecutive weeks between July 2nd and July 16th. Several cast members will show up in each of the installments, which are set to tie together into one three-film arc of R-rated terror, all set in the town of Shadyside, Ohio.

1994 finds a group of teenagers discovering that a string of horrific events may be connected, and they’re the next ones in the firing line. One week later, Fear Street jumps back two decades, with 1978 taking place at Camp Nightwing, where a disparate band of campers and counselors find out that the rival town of Sunnyvale has a dark connection to Shadyside.

Finally, 1666 revolves around a witch-hunt that has consequences that continue to reverberate centuries in the future, jumping back and forth across the timeline to the first two movies as events come to a head. It’s certainly an interesting concept, and only a streaming service would be bold enough to take a risk on a trio of horror movies releasing on a weekly basis that tell a single overarching narrative. There’s also a suitably solid ensemble in place across the entire Fear Street trilogy, so this is definitely a project worth keeping an eye on.

Natalie Portman Trends As Fans Celebrate Her 40th Birthday

Natalie Portman has been held up as one of the finest actresses of her generation for a long time, and even though she only turned 40 years old yesterday, she’s already got a long list of acclaimed prestige dramas, box office smash hits and memorable roles under her belt dating back over a quarter of a century.

Her very first role came in modern action classic Lรฉon: The Professional back in 1994, and Portman’s filmography has maintained a remarkably high level of consistency ever since. In fact, she went on to lend support in Michael Mann’s Heat, Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks!, well-reviewed comedies Beautiful Girls and Everyone Says I Love You and Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace before the 90s were out, all while still a teenager.

Portman will next be seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor: Love and Thunder, where she’ll make her first appearance in the franchise for a decade, and the internet went into meltdown when set photos revealed she’d lived up to her promise of getting jacked for Jane Foster wielding Mjolnir. As you can see from the reactions below, a lot of social media users were singing the star’s praises on her big day.

On top of all the critical and commercial acclaim, Natalie Portman also has a trophy cabinet that’s overflowing with accolades having scooped an Academy Award, a BAFTA, two Critics’ Choice Awards, a Screen Actors Guild statue, a pair of Golden Globes and many more, not to mention a back catalogue boasting such a wide range of titles as Garden State, Closer, V for Vendetta, Black Swan, Jane Got a Gun and Annihilation to name but a small few, so she’s well on her way to going down in the history books as one of the all-time greats.

The Little Mermaid Set Photos Reveal Halle Bailey’s Ariel

One of the recurring criticisms of Disney’s live-action remakes is that the vast majority of them don’t tend to bring anything new to the table, and are happy enough to be safe in the knowledge that a beat-for-beat recreation of the beloved animated originals will be more than enough to generate audience enthusiasm and bumper box office.

Cruella deviated from the norm by telling an origin story about the titular antiheroine’s rise to infamy, but the next trio of projects look to be reverting back to formula. Rob Marshall’s The Little Mermaid, Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio and David Lowery’s Peter Pan & Wendy are all concurrently in production as we speak, with the latter two heading exclusively to Disney Plus, and all of them are expected to hew pretty closely to the template set by their 2D counterparts.

Interior shooting on The Little Mermaid kicked off back in January, but the crew has since pitched up in Italy, where the remainder of principal photography will take place until the blockbuster wraps next month, and you can check out a batch of set photos featuring Halle Bailey’s Ariel and Jonah Hauer-King’s Eric below.

As is the case with virtually every Disney remake, the supporting cast comes bearing plenty of star power with Melissa McCarthy set to chew on the scenery as Ursula and Javier Bardem bringing the gravitas as King Triton, while Lin-Manuel Miranda is penning some new songs for the movie.

Director Marshall is clearly a favorite of the Disney brass having previously helmed box office hits Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Into the Woods and Mary Poppins Returns, so at least The Little Mermaid is in the hands of a filmmaker who knows the Mouse House’s recipe for success.
