I'm sure Henry Cavil is a remarkably nice guy, however, he tends to take on roles that make him seem so...bland. Even in the "Mission Impossible: Fallout" installment he did, he just seemed to be a weary traveler. While he has the dashing movie star looks, he lacks the charisma that stands out. He and Alan Ritchon poses, as they should. But, they seemed exhausted.
In this case, for a person who is in charge of a band of un-merry men (and one woman) how is it that he got the least to do. He isn't glib, as you would expect from the premise, nor is he that sharp. It's just one long draining journey.
And yes, director Guy Ritchie is saddled with the reality of the story. But why not have a LOT of fun with it. This didn't seem fun at all. It seemed paint by numbers. Everything that had to happen...happens. The violence isn't that violent. The casual traipse through enemy territory gave me zero anxiety when it comes to how our heroes will turn out. It was just...bland.
And then it just ends.
Not a recommend.
