With the popularity of my other post I am moving forward with this idea. Warning this will be spoiler heavy so you have been warned.
This post will be on Spy
Melissa McCarthy brings her terrible line of comedy to the spy movie, well we haven’t seen this before with a comedian with a certain type of comedy that is unique to them in the spy comedy film have we Mr Atkinson?
Clichéd failed James Bond actor completes an easy mission with a few complication but making it out with ease against storm troopers at a party who still can’t shot a moving target but love hitting the ground around them.
Time for a ‘Comic’ relief sidekick character that pushes out main character in a direction she wouldn’t go because neither have excitement in their lives.
Jason Statham goes back in time to play a comical version of his aggressive fould mouthed hard hitting tough guy running out of clichés English Man.
Comedian steps up from behind the desk to take part in dangerous mission that they are clearly not capable off but hell they will pull it off, Steve Carrell did, and this film is starting to feel very much like Get Smart.
Where would you put a spy movie without having a gadget scene? Where the new agent thinks they will get the cool toys only to get comical replacement that should have them embarrassed.
Paris, wow could they think of an idea we haven’t seen in like every film? No, ok well tourist cliché, odd couple routine, lots of over aggressive male talk from Statham ripping it out of all his previous roles. Ooo Melissa McCarthy can keep up with a fully fit man running and kick his ass.
Let’s move the action to another location, Rome, wait what is this just a tour of all the places woman go for romantic moments, but there is a pervert character yeah, someone funny but not all the Italian’s are like this.
Fashion talk for all the guys watching who weren’t already getting bored with all the girl heavy location we get dress talking yay.
One rule your boss gives you, ‘Don’t get too close or talk to suspects’ Main character’ hi bestie I saved your life let’s talk and get to know each other even if you killed the man I love’
Lead character killed off camera isn’t dead cliché yay but is he good or bad nope he is just Fine, Bradley Fine.
Unlikely hero is the savior and easily out classes the rest of the cast in the fighting, shooting and running scenes as the villain dies but falling wow that is original.
No woman would complain about waking up next to Jason Statham, deal with it Melissa.
