Viewing Notes
Quite enjoyed this movie. I suppose I can understand the criticism because this isn’t like most of the big budget action flicks; it plays like a throwback to the spy flicks of the 60s. From the dry humor to the pacing and setpieces it’s like an old school James Bond flick. Also has a superb soundtrack. I I really like the chemistry between the lead characters.
My favorite Henry Cavill performance to date. To the point I’ve nearly forgotten other roles he’s done *cough*MOS*cough*. Armie Hammer is great as well. Another highlight is Elizabeth Debicki. She needs bigger parts. I’m all for her as Ms Marvel.
