The Beekeeper is mindless, overblown nonsense timed perfectly to drag us from a haze of prestige films and an awards bait stupor.
It's a real shame that "The Beekeeper" isn't the righteous trash masterpiece that it keeps threatening to turn into. There's a great pop hit in here somewhere—probably one that focused exclusively on Adam and the awful people he's going after. But the film is scattered and annoyingly glib at times.

I love it. Nothing like a good action movie with Jason Statham kicking the butts of so many bad people. No mercy for bad people. That's what I love. The story is fun enough for me and the action is breathtaking. I love it and for sure I will watch it again.
SPOILER ALERT below:
The only thing I disliked was the way Agent Verona says that she needs to follow the law, even though people that Mr. Clay is fighting against are untouchable by the law. At least she redeemed herself at the end. Thumbs Up! o/

This movie shows what Hollywood is no longer able to do. It's an old-fashioned action movie with real people instead of talking furniture, and it's more creative than anything I've seen in years. I will be upset if there is not a Beekeper 2. On Rottentomatoes, it has a 92% user score.

Director Ayer, whose career took off when he wrote 2001′s “Training Day,” has frequently attempted to create Action Movies That Matter (the stressful 2014 World War II picture “Fury,” for one); this is absolutely not one of those. He tackles this assignment without much self-seriousness but doesn’t seem keen to embrace its silliness quotient, either.
A beat-‘em-up whose competent fight sequences are ultimately overshadowed by its unintentional humor.
The Beekeeper is the best kind of bad movie — which is to say, it’s the sort that puts entertainment ahead of pretentiousness, embracing the laughter sure to accompany such an unapologetically stupid, ultra-violent premise.
What we have is a generic addition to an already oversaturated genre – one that doesn’t even have the sense to make use of Statham’s often underutilised comedic talents.
It’s not unlike a partially completed sketch whose occasional flashes of color only serve to remind us how incomplete and lazily constructed the rest of it is.
The purpose ofa movie should be entertaining. This movie does that. Of course, it can always be deeper. However, this movie is not for that purpose. In the modern times or Hollywood, I’ve seen a lot of garbage movie with no plots either and having critically acclaimed scores. This movie definitely deserves more than five. I don’t know if this critics read a decent book, or if they ever read any books or played any games with a decent story, but what they consider a decent story, I don’t even call them story. Most of the movies, they score, 9/10, they’re not even three in my scale.. If you want to watch a movie, that’s entertaining. It’s a revenge thriller. I highly recommend this movie.

Ха. Я не знаю, но почему-то тупое мясо типа Джона Уика сейчас очень в моде. Пчеловод это ну прям копия фильма с Ривзом в главной роли. Сюжет по сути то же калька: у нашего протагониста доводят до смерти единственного дорогого человека, убийца местный сыночек президента, распиздяй со связями и баблом, и вот наш Пчеловод идёт мстить. Конечно убивает всех и вся. При этом его враги были троечниками в классах имперских штурмовиков, поэтому попасть в "героя" в принципе не способны и используют огнестрельное оружие исключительно в рукопашном бою, что обречено изначально на провал. Ведь наш Пчеловод, никто иной как Стетем-хрен попадёшь, -хрен поцарапаешь, -хрен остановишь, -хрен узнаешь и ещё хрен его знает что. Помоему, где то это уже было? Честно фильм воспринимался сугубо как комедия. Ведь от творящегося на экране маразма все просто падали от смеха. Честно, Стетему пора менять амплуа. Ведь были в его кино карьере нормальные герои, хотя бы в фильме "Большой куш". Просто на это уже смешно смотреть, да 15 летние это хавают, но актёр стареет и малолеток больше интересуют всякий спайдер мены, а не 60и летний мужик раскидывающий роты спецназа в полной выкладке одной рукой. Смешней этого только тётка в той же роли. Оценки тому доказательство. Фильм категории "Б", смотреть исключительно дома по подписке.

Equal parts stupid as it was entertaining. I enjoyed watching the various characters as they struggled to comprehend just how potent the retired beekeeper is. For genre fans, statham's performance exacting his wrath on those who dared disturb the hive was a fun if predictable ride.

The movie has great action sequences but that is it. I swear a few 4th and 5th graders wrote this script. So many plot hole and other unnecessary plot points that just make no sense. A few of us watched it together and agree that it was just a few good script revisions away from being a good movie. It is a shame really.

A very low budget feel that seems to be common among newer titles these days. At least the gun handling wasn’t completely abysmal and the action scenes were on point.
