The Old Guard 2 (2025) (IMDB)

I read comics just about every day. If you are a fan of comics you may have read The Old Guard graphic novel series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez. I recommend it. When I saw it was to become a movie on Netflix I was excited. Charlize Theron ! Yes please. And the first movie was fine. I wished it was better but it was worth a watch. I was hoping for a sequel that was even better because I knew the story was good from previously reading it.

Sadly, this movie is flat and feels unfinished. The story was not fulfilling and it felt a bit boring. I would skip it. But, I am writing a review of the movie because in the opening scene the group splits up as they are raiding an estate and one half of the group takes “the maze” portion of the job. They take out gunman in a hedge maze. I’m going to be honest, they say maze but they never show it from afar and it seems more like a garden than a maze so the movie didn’t even get this right.
