At its core, it's a light-hearted spy romp that riffs on a lot of the soap-opera tropes that crossover into the realm of espionage. "Dumb fun" might get thrown around a lot with Vaughn's films, and it might be true, but Argylle does try to be smart in its execution.
When Argylle is fun, it is really fun. Watching Rockwell and Howard run around the world is entertaining, for a time, but not forever. “Because these things will change,” as Swift sings in “Change.”... Maybe she should have written the movie.

Kamera, Schnitt, Schauspieler, Story... ich war lange nicht mehr so gut unterhalten. Aussergewöhnliche Audio- und Videoqualität auf AppleTV plus. Ich freu mich sehr auf die 4k UHD um es nochmal zu sehen!

So much fun... Intriguing and entertaining! I loved that it was clean and lighthearted. A fun ride! I wish there were more movies like these being made right now. Great job to all involved in the making of this movie!

Ultimately, Argylle is mostly bad CGI, action sequences that go by so fast you wonder what Vaughn is trying to hide, and a lot of strange tangents.
Its comic touch almost as heavy-handed as its slow-motion-drenched action is dull, it seems primarily designed to answer the question, “How many movie stars can one fiasco squander?
Criss-crossing patterns of ridiculousness and self-satisfaction run through “Argylle,” a tiresome meta movie that puts an awful lot of zest into an awfully empty high-concept story.
And the more each new twist is revealed and summarily falls flat, the faster the next one is slotted into place to get ahead of the story’s anticlimax, leading to a spiral in which the plot becomes even more meaningless.
Argylle is a cynical cash grab that has the audacity to use that “new” Beatles song, “Now and Then” (itself a cynical cash grab pieced together with far more skill than this movie) as the basis for its score and the “love theme” for Aidan and Elly.
Argylle's action sequences are thrilling, and the story kept the audience guessing with its surprising twists. However, the movie mixes humor and romance to the action that felt weird and cliche. Despite the tonal juggling act, Argylle's core strengths lie in its action sequences and plot twists. If you're looking for a fast-paced spy adventure with a surprising story, Argylle might be worth checking out.

This is a kids movie sold as an adult movie that’s not for kids. **** they took Superman and put him in this dumb movie but at least he got a paycheck.
