What I said in the title. The sequences are so ridiculous it's funny, which makes The Spy Who Never Dies offers some comic relief with an over the top storyline and acting. Oddly entertaining.

This movie is chock-full with outstandingly beautiful women. Pretty much every scene has one or more of them in it. Their acting is ok. Other than that, it's silly and lenghty. They tried hard though, so...yeah. Still, no more than a watch on a rainy, lonely sunday morning, before getting outa bed. The jokes are either copied or plain lame. Thats about it. Except for the girls. The girls are just a bucket full of sexy.

Well done overall. It's not a serious movie, it's the spy equivalent of Scary Movie. It's a parody of spy movies. If you're up for people making semi-serious fun of outrageous spy movies, this is it. It comes off as the modern version of some of the Leslie Nielsen movies.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action comedy "The Spy Who Never Dies", I must admit that I was expecting a bit more than what writer and director Corey Pearson actually managed to deliver here. Sure, I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, but the movie's cover/poster and synopsis seemed interesting enough. And action comedies with a spy theme has been good in the past, so I figured why not. "The Spy Who Never Dies" felt like a missed opportunity, because there was next to no comedy throughout the course of the movie. And that was a shame, because there were definitely lots of opportunity to incorporate comedy situations into the storyline. And the movie never really goes full out into action mode either, so you are left with a somewhat watered down action movie. The movie has good performances from its cast ensemble, despite of the script and storyline not actually being the best of source material. I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, but I liked and enjoyed their performances. Especially Hafedh Dakhlaoui (playing The Dog Walker) and Ana Thu Nguyen (playing Lollypop) stood out as the most memorable of characters and performances. There is a good pacing to the storyline and a fair amount of action actually. But without an overly entertaining storyline, then there was just so much that it could do for the movie. My rating of "The Spy Who Never Dies" lands on a four out of ten stars.

It is clear that this is a mockery of an spy but all together Tom and Jerry is more enjoyable and this was a total waste of time. If you like 007/mission imposible/Johny english THIS IS GOING TO BE A DISAPPOINTMENT THIS MOVIES DOES NOT DESERVE A RATING OF ANY HIGHER THA 3.5 BUT DOR ME THIS WAS A 1/10 CAUSE ALL THAT CAN NE WRONG WITH A FIL IS INCLIDED HERE.

Let's be honest, this movie was made PURELY as a JOKE! Nothing in this movie can be taken seriously and I am sure that was the point. They just wanted this movie to be as bad as it possibly could just to get some laughs. That being said, the action parts were good, the audio in some parts was just awful! And they get kudos for originality! I loved the phone that could do it all, that was very cool. So if you have nothing better to watch and love spy movies, this was like the spy version of "Not Another Teen Movie". I have honestly seen worse and at least this one was half good so it gets an honest 5 from me. Wish they had got a sexier spy though, the guy felt too old for the laughs they were trying to get. Worth a one time watch and I would recommend if nothing else catches your attention.
