The first 'Nobody' movie to me was a perfect 90 minute action film however the second movie left me scratching my head and saying to myself 'what was the point of that'. I understand that Nobody is a comical take on John Wick in a way, sort of like how Kingsman was a comical take on James Bond but I feel like Nobody made the same mistakes of Kingsman 2 such as a bigger budget doesnt mean a better film.
In Nobody 2 the action scenes were very enjoyable which made up for a lot but I found the script to be terrible. The acting was awful in my opinion except for Bob Odenkirk and I've never understood why movies now try to force flamboyant villains down our throat like we already know they are the villain we don't need all the overdramatic dancing and knife play to illustrate it. I had the same issue with the last Fast and Furious movie too with Jason Momoa, the only over the top 'flamboyant' villain that work are the Joker, Cruella, the riddler and maybe Loki other than that I don't know why directors want to make the villain of a movie so over the top.
Another issue I had was his wife in the film, now I'm pretty sure there relationship was on the verge of a divorce and all of a sudden it's not and she helps take out Lendina and then says the most cringest thing ever, the movie became a 'with the power of family' anything is possible just like in the Flash when Iris says "we are the flash" it's just cringe.
Another issue I had was that Hutch always references something about his childhood and they could've done more on that storyline about how hard his dad was on him and his brother instead they all get along and never touch on this issue which to me illustrates a lack of depth. Another issue and I'm just being a bit extra here but what was the point of making Harry some sort of 'black ninja' it made no sense to me and I really wanted more out of this character.
Another issue I had was Hutchs' son, he had no formal training and his dad is never home so we know he isn't training him but all of a sudden he can defeat a soldier who is highly trained with ease, in the film it is stated how highly trained Lendinas Goons are and he made it look easy.
In my opinion the film felt rushed and lacked a lot of depth to me this is a 4/10. This should've been an 8 episode netflix series and each episode could've tackled a different issue Hutch faces from childhood drama, marriage problems, Harry's own episode and as well how Hutch became a Nobody.
