The Beekeeper (2024)
4/10
A waste of money to even produce this
14 April 2024
This insulting piece of Hollywood junk belongs in the trash with all the rest of movies like it. They refuse to hire any real talent, probably, because of all the strikes.

This film is full of nothing but snark and sarcasm. That wouldn't be a bad thing on its own, except that there's no movie to prop it up. In fact, half the movie is just the characters talking, and explaining to the audience what's happening, because they don't know how to write a proper script, or direct.

There's some brief action sequences, but they're all CGI, and entirely fake. The lines are lame. Especially, a certain quote about machine elves, which is a Terrence McKenna reference. Absolutely nothing is plausible. The whole thing is less believable than a superhero movie. There's even a sequence where he plugs his smart phone into an old 8086 PC (via what? USB?) which is even older than the actor doing it. And, we're supposed to think the guy is like Jackie Chan, or John Wick, or something, but he totally fails to impress.

The jokes are extremely low brow. There's no wit, or catchy one-liners. There's no eye candy, except for some cheap CGI explosions, which are obvious and easy to spot as fake. They really scraped the bottom of the piggy bank to produce this filth.

Next time, just don't. Nobody is going to buy this movie. In fact, movies like this are the reason nobody pays for movies and just pirate everything. None of it is worth anyone's money or time. So, stop blowing your budget on this garbage, and pool your money together to make a real movie, for a change.
