Alright, alright, let me tell ya ’bout this Argylle movie. Folks been talkin’, ya know? Some say it’s good, some say it’s bad, like always. Heard it’s one of them spy movies, with shootin’ and chasin’ and all that.
Now, them fancy movie folks, the critics, they didn’t much like it. Said it was silly, too long, and the story was all twisted up like a pretzel. They called it “stunningly bad” even. Said the actors were good, but the movie itself? Not so much. One of ’em even said it was like that bad story the lady in the movie was readin’ at the beginnin’. Imagine that! Payin’ good money to watch somethin’ like a bad book read out loud.
- Critics say it’s silly.
- Too long, they say.
- Story’s too twisty, like a pretzel.
But then, there’s the regular folks, the ones like you and me who just wanna watch a movie and eat some popcorn. They seemed to like it a bit more. Said it was fun, even if it was a bit crazy. Guess it depends on what you’re lookin’ for. Some folks like them serious movies, some folks like a bit of a laugh. This Argylle thing, sounds like it’s tryin’ to be both, and maybe it ain’t doin’ such a good job of it, accordin’ to them critics.
Heard the actors in it are pretty famous, though. Big names, they say. But even good actors can’t save a bad story, that’s what my old pappy used to say. And it seems like that’s what happened here. They had all these fancy actors, but the movie itself just didn’t work for some folks. The story was about a spy writer, they say. And then somehow, she gets mixed up in real spy stuff. Sounds kinda confusin’, don’t it?
They spent a lot of money on this Argylle movie, I heard. Big budget, they call it. But money don’t always mean a good movie. Sometimes, it’s just a waste. Like buyin’ a fancy new tractor that breaks down after a week. You’re better off with the old reliable one, even if it’s got a few dents and scratches.
Some folks compared it to another spy movie, called The King’s Man. Now, that one got bad reviews too, from them critics. But the regular folks, they liked it. So maybe this Argylle is the same way. Maybe it ain’t a movie for them fancy critics, but it’s a movie for the rest of us.
It’s hard to say, you know? Movies are like that. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Me, I like a good western, somethin’ with cowboys and horses. But my neighbor, she loves them romance movies, all that kissin’ and huggin’. So, who’s right? Nobody, that’s who. It’s all just a matter of what you like.
So, is this Argylle movie worth seein’? Well, that’s up to you. If you like them spy movies, and you don’t mind a bit of silliness, then maybe you’ll like it. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ serious and deep, then maybe you should skip it. Go see somethin’ else. Save your money for popcorn. Or maybe buy a good book instead. Sometimes, a good book is better than a bad movie, that’s what I always say. And if them critics are right, this Argylle movie might be one of them bad ones.
But hey, don’t just take my word for it, or them fancy critics neither. Go see it yourself if you’re curious. Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya if it turns out to be a dud. At least you’ll have somethin’ to talk about with your neighbors, right? And that’s worth somethin’ these days.
Anyway, that’s all I gotta say ’bout this Argylle movie. Take it or leave it. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be alright.
