Enjoyed it immensely. Watched it again. Why so many negative reviews? Was Henry Cavill not given a big enough role? Does it have to be serious like Daniel Craig's James Bond?
It was billed as a comedy and it is a comedy but also has a serious side. They are going to save the world.
It starts with an author, Elly Conway(Bryce Dallas Howard), writing about a fictional character, Argylle(Henry Cavill), It turns out she's correct about what's happening in the real world. Too correct. It's interconnects with the real world of spies. Bad guys are after her to find out what she knows and good guys, including Aidan Wilde(Sam Rockwell) are trying to save her. It is brilliant on the twists and turns. Who's really a bad guy? And the music is great. It romps along to a satisfactory. It's fun.
Without giving anything away it's worth going for the scene outside the armoury alone. You'll see.
I enjoyed it immensely. I gave it a few days and watched it again and still enjoyed it. It's still worth a 9. I considered upgrading it to 10 out of 10 but it narrowly misses that partly because the twists are not such a surprise on the re-watch.
For comparison my 9's include Casablanca, The Imitation Game, Beverly Hills Cop.
The only 10s i've awarded in the last 10 years are for Joker, Top Gun: Maverick, Blade Runner, The Red Pill. Free Guy, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and The Great Escaper.
