Sofia Boutella can't act. Only Ed Skrein was on the joke


I watched like an hour+ of this movie before I gave up. As it was too boring. I zoomed out when they kept "assembling team" to protect some villagers no one gives a crap about.

I like slo-mo in general. But Snyder is slo-mo addict and it just becomes irritating when he puts it in places it should not be. Eventually movie just slows down for no reason. Every 2 minutes.

Sofia Boutella has that face that I always notice her when I see her in supporting role somewhere.

But there is a reason why her career went nowhere. Girl can't act. Her eyes are empty and her face is not moving to show emotions. That's why they use her usually as some "bitch side-kick of villain". And she looks cool there. But when role requires acting - she can't deliver.

She was looking like an empty shell here.

It was almost laughable how all of them pretended to be super serious on this nonsense movie. And only Ed Skrein was on the joke and tried to make his character as obnoxious and ridiculous caricature. Reminded when Jason Momoa did the same in latest Fast movie.

Dear Hollywood, please stop casting that poor mans Daario Naharis (Michiel Huisman) in things. Actor has no charisma, no prettiness, no hotness. If he would be a woman I would think he is some nepo-child of rich daddy. It was such downgrade when Ed Skrein left Daario Naharis role and this guy was cast to replace him.
