Matthew Vaughn&#039;s &#039;Argylle&#039; lands in theaters and debuts on critical consensus with reviews taking Henry Cavill back to the days of the DCEU

Matthew Vaughn’s Henry Cavill Starrer ‘Argylle’ Debuts on Par With ‘Justice League’s&#8217; Score

Long after shaking away the shackles of the DCEU, Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] embarked on a new outlook with a
slew of projects of which Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/argylle/]came as the first. The meta James
Bond-esque movie gathered immense hype surrounding itself for kick-starting a
new action spy thriller franchise. However, in terms of marking a solid debut,
it appears to have met bumpy grounds en route with a debut critical score taking
the actor back to the ruins of Zack Snyder.

With barely a couple of days to go before the movie releases in the US,
first-hand reviews from other regions have already landed it to an unpleasant
consensus.


ARGYLLE DEBUTS TO REALITY AS THE HENRY CAVILL STARRER LANDS CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Argylle saw a staggered release with countries like France and Indonesia getting
to relish it on 31st January with the UK to follow on the 1st of February before
it dropped in the US a day later. Pitched to be at least a trilogy of movies,
the movie with Henry Cavill as the lead, Agent Argylle, debuted on Rotten
Tomatoes with a 39% score. While it did not take away the mantle as the
lowest-rated flick by the British actor, it did sit alongside 2017’s Justice
League, with the same score.



Critics pointed out glaring flaws in the Matthew Vaughn directorial, including
inconsistent CGI, flat dialogues, and an eventual let-down towards the end.
While some hailed the acting by Henry Cavill and top-of-the-class action
sequences, others had less positive opinions to say surrounding the full
feature-film acting debut of Dua Lipa. Incidentally, the tide of score decreased
further ahead with the movie dropping to 32% at the time of writing. Regardless,
its meta aspect and twists still found enough mention to suffice for a good
watch.

The downturn in reviews comes as a sharp blow for the director who carries
ambitious plans for the franchise.


MATTHEW VAUGHN PLANS TO MERGE THE FRANCHISE WITH THE KINGSMAN UNIVERSE

At a time when many questions centered around the rather odd hairstyle of Henry
Cavill in Argylle
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-why-the-haircut-henry-cavill-poses-the-ultimate-question-as-his-younger-self-at-argylle-premiere-in-london/],
Matthew Vaughn unleashed his broader vision. The director has plans to merge the
upcoming franchise with the Kingsman movies alongside a third yet-unnamed one.
The triad will then serve as a connected bridge to a spy-action universe of his
making, with him playing the ultimate decision-maker.



Unfortunately, in sharp contrast to Argylle, Kingsman: The Secret Service, the
first of the franchise still stands with a revered 75% rating on the same
platform. While the score may soon change as more viewers grace the screen, the
film, as a whole, stands very much watchable, with its intrigue game still
strong as per the reviews.
