The Beekeeper - Movie Review

CED out 90s action movies are back in 2024 baby let's [Music] go and for the YouTube sensor algorithm robot I was talking about Coca-Cola what do you think I was talking about so beekeeper Stars Jason Stam which means you know exactly what this movie is going to be he's pretty reliable in that sense it's like when you see Liam NES in a movie trailer and he's like honey how's it going Happy Thanksgiving you're like oh okay so that's the family that's going to die so we can go on his Rampage same thing when you see Jason STM in here and he's like yeah I'm a beekeeper I'll keep bees you know that's just a strange way for him to say military Special Ops professional killer type is going to lay down some bodies and after his nice old landlord is robbed and then dead yeah that's exactly what he does your enjoyment or lack of enjoyment in this movie is going to depend on what you want and what you accept the movie as being movie is directed by David a director of Fury and Suicide Squad not that the suicide squad remakable nonsense no we're talking the real deal I will say this the first 30 minutes or so of this movie was awesome we're not talking cheesy 9s action movie fun awesome I'm talking it was actually pretty sweet I mean the villains the scumbags the baddies they seemed a little cartoony but for the most part it's this sweet nice old lady who gets scammed with the one one of those online popups and she calls she's like oh it looks like I have a virus can you help me here's my IP address that's real [ __ ] that's out there my mom almost got hit with one of those things it's no joke don't [ __ ] with the elderly that's the lesson here now first building he takes out I'm just saying it was satisfying I mean if you're not at all a '90s action movie fan we'll pass this one by there's going to be nothing here for you no judgment I'm just saying it as a fact it's like if I'm talking about a beach talking about how oh that beach was a lot of fun Anakin Skywalker watching the video I should say if you don't like sand you probably won't like it though not everything's for everyone but when it had focus when it was clear it was trying to be this celebration of '90s action movies that's when the movie was actually in its Zone the action sequences were enjoyable some of the kills some of the hits were really bloody and satisfying that said in the second half of the movie we'll say the last Act of the movie or so it starts to take itself too seriously to the point where the cheese doesn't feel like a celebration anymore the cheese starts to feel bad maybe it's the stick that was wearing off maybe it's the fact that the movie was taking itself too seriously by the end point is it didn't mesh as well as it did in the first half I mean The Beekeeper thing is ridiculous but it was fun ridiculous at first and the be puns there's so many be puns in this movie The be puns in beekeeper are comparable to the ice cold and freezing puns in Batman and Robin it's funny at first then just gets out of control but that is the decade they're pulling from I think but it's when people start talking about him and they're like look we have to deal with The Beekeeper you don't understand he's a beekeeper I just couldn't take it as seriously as I felt like the movie wanted me to take it it's like when people argue about friendsgiving it's like I I want to take it as seriously as you want me to take it but I just can't because you're saying it that way low key has a really solid cast Jeremy Irons is in the movie Josh Hutcherson I thought was great as what was his name Hunter this movie is so Dollar Store John Wick you know it it's just you can see the makeup in here you can see the DNA of it the quiet retired professional killer type some rich [ __ ] causes death in his life that brings him out of retirement now he's going after that Young Rich [ __ ] the Young Rich Punk's Father Figure who's in the know who knows the kind of damage this assassin coming out of retirement is going to bring down on them there's even this super secret underground call center you can tell someone was like okay John Wick but hear me out on this a beekeeper but unlike John Wick will'll have these stretches particularly in the second half where the action slows down concentrate on these two FBI people that I personally didn't give a [ __ ] about I should have because one of them is the daughter of the old lady who died I feel like there should be more care there but I just didn't care also their Dynamic was weird he was like oh hey you like fires your mom's old house it's burning down let's go I was like I her mom who died yesterday you want to deliver that with some gloves on there buddy holy [ __ ] yeah in the end it's a Jason STM action movie that totally throws back to cheesy 9s action movies cheesy 9s action movies it's not a smooth ride some of the dialogue is just laughable like laughing at the movie not with the movie but there are more than a few scenes in which you're laughing with the movie because the movie knows what it is and it leans into it sometimes it leans a little too far sometimes it pulls back on the lean takes itself a little too seriously it's a little inconsistent in that sense it doesn't keep in what we call the goldilock Zone the whole time if you and your friends love those cheesy 99s action movies this could be a fun movie to add to that collection add to that binge night bring the friends bring the alcohol fun time if you're drunk yeah now it's a party all right so the beekeeper have you seen it what did you think about it or what's your favorite '90s throwback action movie not from the 9s feel like I asked you that recently well I haven't asked you that in 2024 let this be the first time whatever it is whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you've seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more [Music]
