    Logging this from like 6 months ago before I rewatch for this week. Good film, very funny, and a strong identity that I know Richie loses in a lot of his “Netflix Original” coded recent work. Taking the British action film from the high class suave of James Bond to the hardman archetype was an intriguing switch up and an interesting cultural shift for British action going forward. Jason Statham is better than I used to give him credit for.

    I just can’t help but stan John Cleese. Funny ass dude. This movie is slow at times, but when the comedy hits, it really hits.

    It’s decently fun and a solid enough superhero film. I like the chemistry between Peter and Gwen.
