With DC rebooting its entire universe and Eon Pictures not providing any update on the new Bond actor, it is obvious that die hard Henry Cavill fans will be missing the British actor. Well, not to worry, Cavill will soon rule the silver screen with his new collaboration with veteran director Matthew Vaughn. Argylle is the official adaptation of a novel written by Elly Conway of the same name. The film has generated decent buzz to its name, considering it is an early year release. Given Matthew Vaughn’s recent track record, I think it is fair to question the film’s quality. So, here are the early social media reactions of Argylle.
Argylle Movie Early Reviews: Critics Seem Impressed
Brandon Davis (ComicBook.com) – “‘Argylle’ is a fun time with the style and ridiculousness of Matthew Vaughn, reeled in a bit from his recent films. Sam Rockwell is exceptionally entertaining. It’s a fun, slick, wild ride that runs a little long, confidently reliant on its excessive, ambitious twists.”
Joe Deckelmeier (Screen Rant) – “‘Argylle’ is a lot of fun & a bit of a throwback. It’s the perfect blend of action, comedy, music, and espionage. This cast in absolutely incredible & their energy come through the screen. The action, twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat. Watch it on a big screen!”
Luiz Fernando (critic) – “Just had a blast watching ‘Argylle.’
1- It’s past time for stunts to have an Oscars category!
2- If ‘Argylle’ had come out in 2023, it would dominate the Best Original Song nominations along with ‘Barbie.’ Banger after banger. Electric Energy is THE BOMB!”
Matt Harris (critic) – “So the ‘Argylle’ movie was fantastic! It’s got more twists and turns than an overly designed roller coaster! Go in as blind as possible and enjoy the ride! Thanks to Universal and Empire Magazine for the evening! And Matthew Vaughn for the insightful interview afterwards!”
Mark Millar (comic writer) – “Family and I just back home from the ‘Argylle’ premiere and I have to respect the embargo on reviews until next week, but 1/ the movie is awesome and 2/ It has a VERY SUBTLE ‘SEINFELD’ JOKE nobody except maybe 5 people will have noticed. Let’s talk again after release!”
These are just the early social media reactions but as I’d covered earlier, Argylle’s full review embargo will be lifted on Sunday, January 31st, 2024. Director Matthew Vaughn had garnered immense praise for his initial films such as X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass, (77% and 86% Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively), but his recent ventures haven’t fared well.
His most recent directorial effort, 2021’s The King’s Man, came away with a meager 40% Tomatometer score, giving him back-to-back “rotten” movies by that metric.
Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson fill out the eclectic cast of Argylle.
Argylle will release in theatres near you February 2nd, 2024.
