Okay i went to go see Argyle and the BIGGEST PROBLEM with that movie was not the tone, not the lack of Bryan Cranston, it was not even the bad special effects.
It was the fact that they had the perfect scenario for HENRY CAVILL and JOHN CENA to kiss in a comical scene, and THEY PUSSIED OUT???
on further thinking argylle does a lot that it deserves so much notice for. like having the protag be a chubby woman who guns down cia agents and there are NO jokes about her weight or gender or anything. shes the smartest one there. no men feel emasculated. the love interest is just like “this is the COOLEST woman ever. also shes implied to be bisexual. its actually great.
Do you know how much I want Henry to be the real Agent Argylle, but have him be some like stupidly geeky agent. Like puts fucking Clark Kent to shame, geeky. Give me the glasses, pocket protector, tucked in shirt, with the waistline that's just a tad too high type shit. But this nerd somehow manages to get shite done, because who'd expect this geek to be an Agent of anything, other than a character on a Sunday night DnD session.
I already know that if the Argyle books were real like in the way they are in the movies universe, soooo many people would be shipping Agent Argyle and Wyatt.
Agent Argylle switching sides to work with Wyatt. Wyatt not wanting to fight Argylle on the ship. The way the author describes their future as them living their lives together bc they are “partners”.
I Know the fan space has gotta go crazy in their universe 💀💀💀
Omg I watched the movie Argylle last night and it was so bad. Like so so so bad. I really feel like it would be a good candidate for @fangirlfilmclub to add to their list. Henry Cavill is in it, and Sam Rockwell who I love. But O.M.G. it is AWFUL. It started out ok, I was getting into it, but when the "big twist" arrived, I was just like, well that feels like a cop out. It leaned into some Kingsmen ridiculousness, and then put it on steroids. In the wrong direction. I experienced so much cringey second hand embarrassment for the actors, there were moments I had to look away. Now, if that's what they were going for, then high five, kudos, well done team go hit the showers, they nailed it. I can't recommend this one, unless you want to watch it to mentally and verbally throw rotten tomatoes at something. If you do, this is your movie. Anyway, it was bad
