the beekeeper unironically rocked, it was like the matrix but without any of the philosophy and just the dumb action shit and world building, the villain was hunter biden, and the bee puns and bee themed villains were actually hilarious
my favorite moment of the movie by far is when
spoiler
they reveal there's a fucking John Wick organization of bee themed assassins that Jason Statham went rogue from complete with DOS computers with beecomb themed UIs, and when the villain asks them to stop Statham, they send exactly one bee-themed assassin after him, who Statham promptly blows up at a gas station. The beekeeper assassin organization then shrugs and goes "we tried lol" and then is never seen again for the rest of the movie. I would also mention how fucking abrupt and hilarious the ending is but honestly if you're reading this and haven't seen it go watch it it's peak bee kinoI'm a half hour in now. It's hilarious. Hitting all the notes. Statham has kind of fallen off though. I expected more from him. Feels like he's a generic stand in tbh.
lmao, I just got to the beekeeper, beekeeper part.
edit: Great watch. So over the top that it's practically parody.
we're deffo not still in statham's crank era but the scene where he stares at the audience to monologue at us about how scamming the elderly is bad for five minutes, and "i think I'll take to bee" are both peak cinema
I'll admit, he did have his moments. That ending though. LMAO.
