10/10 so so so over the top
This movie was made in the 1990s and has somehow been transported to 2024 lol….
Over the top
Camp as hell
Makes no sense
But it’s so good at all these things it makes it a 10/10 movie for me, it’s so so so bad, it makes it so so so good lol
Great movie, this is why I watch Statham movies! Hell yeah he makes your it worth watching. One of the few real action heroes left these days.
Absolutely loved it. Statham at his best. OTT, absurd and utterly brilliant!!
Finally a movie that's worth watching. I enjoyed every minute. Now do a Wick cross-over. Thank you!
Oh and the first call center scam scene was one of the best I've ever seen!
This was a surprisingly great movie. I hope to see a sequel to this one, it would make for a great series
Another perfect badass performance by Jason!
Beautiful movie, well-made plot tells a half-truth in the world we live in
I highly recommend this movie
excellent action movie,... good story...
2024 one of the best action movie
I really did like this one, great action film throughout ;-)
I couldn't believe it was over already! so fun! I was hooked. 10/10
The movie is legendary especially the idea, we really need bee keepers In this world, I strongly agree that when the queen produces a corrupt generation, you must get rid of the generation and the queen and all corrupt people.
If you love the Equalizer then you'll going to love this movie. The action and fight scenes are out of this world. Jason is a man to be feared when you cross him. I recommend that everybody go see this movie.
The best movie i have seen in the last time with Jesson Statam!
Good old classic action and with no boring moment.
The premise is great, I loved it. Hoping for a part 2.
A film about revenge. It never goes old. We've got to protect the hive.
I never thought I would enjoy a film which asks a question like "to be or not to be" and someone actually answers "to bee"
Outstanding! Haven't seen a good action movie in years, and this one is true Jason Statham (not like the Chinese crap he's been in lately). Reminded me of the early Transporter movies, or as some else commented, John Wick. Great action sequences, nice to have a hero to support and enjoy the mayhem the ensues.
Just good old fashioned action, for those sick of all the woke, over directed garbage being thrown at us.
Amazing action, incredible fight scenes, Ridiculous plot. Just what you need in a Stratham movie! There were some interesting methods of killing people for sure! It's more enjoyable that he doesn't just shoot everyone all the time - in fact he seemed to prefer NOT using guns.
Fun movie!
Good movie you have to see
Excellent film for today's political situation. An operative called Beekeepers are watching the balance of political landscape and do what must be done to correct the hive.
A retired Beekeeper reactivated after his landlady committed suicide because she lost $2 mil in a computer scam. He trailed the crime syndicate and ended up finding the son of US President was the head of the syndicate. He went total rampage over the syndicate and plowed the organization, leaving trails of dead bodies.
Imagine that, a redneck trail blazed the political and corporate power and ended eliminating the son of US President. Art copied life.
Other than the daughter fbi character everything else was on point.
Its gonzo John Wick. I loved it.
Absurd, campy, over the top in every direction, and yet it pulls it all together. Some people might think it's a poor clone of Wick or the 80s/90s action cinema it tributes, but it was just fun. As long as it executes it well, no complaints from me.
This is Statham at some of his finest
If you like watch the other action movies that Jason Statham is in you'll probably like this one. He is in his prime. After a friend kills herself he basically kills his way to the top for the remainder of the movie. Some of his methods for getting rid of bad guys were pretty dang awesome and involved some methods I've never seen before. Which was cool.
Was it completely unrealistic? Yes. Was it fun to sit back, munch on some popcorn and watch Statham do his thing? Oh hell yeah
Loud and ridiculous movie that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I had a blast. Statham always brings the charisma, cocky charm, and crisp martial arts. The action is fast and brutal. The puns are eye-roll inducing (I enjoy this). The final fight is very good. The ending is REALLY abrupt and kind of weird? It’s a fun, non-serious movie.
Well what would you expect from a film like this? It is just fun from beginning to end. Statham goes full Jason Statham in enacting revenge on scammers who drive his elderly friend into suicide, while trying to evade that friend's FBI daughter and her comrades. It's nonsense, but brilliant nonsense. You don't watch these films expecting hard-hitting drama and Oscar-winning performances, you watch for the fight sequences, the guns, the witty lines and to escape mundanity for a couple of hours.
I liked the movie. Some people compare this to John Wick. In my opinion it is really different. For me it is more like earlier action film. There is no pointless talks, romance, hidden arcs or other fillers. Just straight action.
Uhm...... holy cr*p. Haha this is like watching a crazy late 80's or early 90's action movie.
Dont expect a proper story. Dont expect a serious plot. Dont expect intelligent dialogues.
Then this is a pretty cool action movie. Statham at his best since The Transporter.
Shots, blows and bombs, the guy is a one-man army. And more of the same, it's that old formula found in all Jason Statham films that always works. And that's okay, if you have fun while watching that's what matters.
The best thing this movie gave us is Dan Murrell's review of it. The second best thing is vast quantities of dumb fun it provides.
Expecting this 2 be another 'Mundane' Statham flick an i didnt lnow he could actually act, full of trending stars from both side of the pond.
The Beekeeper really is a fast pacing, adrenaline pumping hit.
Well worth a watch, especially if u go in expecting the same i did, trust me its worth the surprise.
Jason Statham kicking ass, is always a good time
Action....action...action... fun to watch flik
Statham doing what Statham does best. Being a stonefaced badass... The Beekeeper is nothing new, but entertaining enough that I wanted more when the end credits rolled. I guess this ended up being more for me than most...
:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: -LOVE IT! The Beekeeper is by far the best fast-action film so far during Jason Statham's career. The BEEKEEPER movie is exceptionally well-crafted, and captivating from start to finish. I don't get bored even for a second watching this film.

John Wick, The Equalizer, The Punisher.. Every once in a while we get a good revenge action movie and this is one of those. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it just delivers on the things it gives you. A fun and simple storyline, great fight choreography, a likeable cast overall and a lead actor we all cheer for.
John Wick but with Jason Stathman, very bee much hive
Hate is or love it. I loved it hehe
Yes Jason is the new Bruce and Mel let’s just enjoy what comes next
we don't watch Jason Statham's movie for its story, we watch it for action
It's Statham doing what he does best. Surprisingly good and doesn't take itself to seriously.
It's an action movie! and I appreciate the concept. It means this will never happen in real life, though.
It's what we have all come to expect from a Statham movie but it's done really well. It's got a decent plot, it's senseless violence and some fun, quirky screenplay. Actually a really decent film.
A very good Jason Statham action movie. I enjoyed the Beekeeper approach. Probably will make a good franchise. I would like to see a follow-up with more info about the Beekeepers formation and the start of and founding of the group. Reminds me a little bit of The Kingsman organization. :thinking:Well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:
Very entertaining, Nice cast! Thin plot.
Exactly what I was expecting, everything you would want in an action movie.
jJust the way i like it...
less talk more action (sensible version)
Jason does it perfect... not overdoes it and not under
I'm conflicted about 'The Beekeeper'.
On the one hand, it's fantastic entertainment as Jason Statham plays a brilliantly badass character - every scene with him is top, top notch. The editing, action and score are positives, though everything around those aforementioned elements is annoyingly very hit-and-miss... and I'm not sure how much the other bits affect my enjoyment.
Away from the great Statham, the cast are also up-and-down. Josh Hutcherson and Jeremy Irons are decent, I think inferior actors would've done much worse so those two do do well in fairness. Sadly, for Emmy Raver-Lampman & Co. on the FBI side of the story... not the best. I mean, they're OK but kinda boring at the same time.
Raver-Lampman's character is also quite lamely written, not the actress' fault of course but still. Without spoiling anything, I feel like her character should've been way more sympathetic to Clay's cause given the obvious - like, still 'do your job' absolutely but it's as if the character forgot what happened at the start of the movie.
The scummy organizations are also portrayed a bit too cartoony, based on what I've seen in real life about those sorta people is that they're usually lousy losers who happen to know how to do what they do - rather than 'Gen Z' (please do forgive me for using that term shudder) smartasses who party 24/7 as this 2024 release shows.
I'm happy with the rating I've settled on, Statham merited more though.
cool little action flick of Jason Statham doing what he does best
This Film :film_projector: is the most interested movie that jason Statham made in his live i'm enjoy really when i watch this film
Brutal action. Absolutely fantastic! :fire:
8/10
Jason Statham meets John Wick.
What an incredible action movie this was, one of the best from the past decade. As a big Jason fan this movie is amazing! The story was good, first time seeing this kind of a criminal enterprise in a movie. Get ready for more in the future. Josh was excellent as a bad guy in this movie. Highly recommend this to any action movie enthousiast!
I had a feeling I was watching a modified version of John Wick … and I liked it!
"You have laws for these things until they fail, then you have me"
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This movie's plot is about as thin as Jason Statham's hair. Speaking of Statham holy shit he has got to bee one of the best modern action stars ever. Statham is no Shakespearian actor but when you see action and Statham together you know it's gonna be good. From the get-go you can see this movie was heavily inspired by John Wick and it's not a bad thing at all.
By means the movie has one of the most mediocre plot and story ever, nothing too big and unoriginal but the direction was good in this, the action choreography and the sound design holy shit the sound design was god tier. I loved every second of it, I am glad they didn't crack many jokes because even the few ones in the movie didn't land at all.
Overall one of the better executed modern action movies but falls short in terms of script, it all depends on how you expect it to be.
"Fuck bruh!"
Spoiler Free:
This movie has some very well choreographed fight scenes, and Statham does his bit as amazingly as always; but the story is very weak at points. I like the overall idea of the storyline, etc. (more details below in spoilers), but it just went a bit too far, almost like Crank, but not as successful. I still give this a 7, as I was entertained from beginning to end from the action, and honestly most of the acting was great (plus Phylicia Rashād and Jeremy Irons, I mean, come on!)
Spoilers Below:
I really like the idea of the beekeeper organization, similar to the Kingsman type of scenario, working independently but for the government, these always make for fun spy/action type movie. The second they switched to "Queen Slayer" mode, and he is on his way to kill the president's son, but they think the president, there was no ARMY of secret service in the room with the president, they just left here alone in a room with 1 FBI agent who happens to be the number 2 FBI officer?
I am sorry, but while the action in the entire attack on the President's location was so messed up; as if the secret service would EVER allow a private security force there fully armed... I don't even know who that dude in the amazing fight scene was supposed to be, outside of some badass who was the "hard-to-kill" enemy at the end...
Join along as a whacky Apiarist tussles with law enforcement as Jason Stathom bee keeping his promise of revenge ppphhhfffrrrttt
Thank you to Jason Statham for keeping these campy/silly fun action movies alive. These are the movies you're meant to sit and enjoy after a long day or on a weekend. Low stakes, but big fun.
As others have stated, probably the worst part of the movie is the FBI lady, who shouldn't even be in the script, or at the very least they shouldn't have made her related to the victim. When you happen to house a retired black ops dude and at the same time get phished for so much more money than anyone this negligent would have ever been entrusted to manage using a computer, having a high ranking FBI agent as a daughter is one coincidence too many.
That being said, when you tune into a movie like this, you accept that everything is just going to be a setup for Statham being a badass, and the action and pacing are too well done to give a shit.
Probably the best jason statham movie I have seen in a few years. Not really a "new" premise or anything plot wise but is still worth one watch.
A competent and chaotic action thriller. Although the story gets a bit muddled at times, the fight choreography and set pieces are top-notch
Very poorly written. I love Jason Statham, but he’s scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
your usual statham flick,decent film,better than I expected it to be,don't have to think just sit back and enjoy the action!!
A descent movie with predictable but good storyline and some great visual effects.I liked the directing too. 6.6/10
Awesome action movie with a great message. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time!
Woody acting by Statham, but it was a fun and ridiculous action movie. The call center people were way too cartoonish though.
"The Beekeeper" delivers classic Jason Statham action with brutal fights and thrilling set pieces. While the plot is familiar and the characters lack depth, the film is a satisfying popcorn flick for fans who crave a good dose of vengeance.
Old guys killing millennials, what's not to love?
So basically nowadays if you're currently employed as a Bee keeper/Brick Layer/Pancake Flipper that automatically means you're an ex CIA employee.
Seems they don't have the best retiree plans...
That FBI woman was the worst she should have died
Pretty decent action all along, classic Jason Statham movie. Plot is nothing out of any of his other work, but his movies usually are entertaining. Not a fan of the abrupt finish (a small epilogue is always welcomed), but still, a solid 7
This tried to be like John wick with the bee keeping bs. Story was told poorly and so it felt quite shallow. Like Someone going all the way to President just to avenge a person they showed for 3 seconds. Also so many times people were pointing guns at the bee keeper but wouldn’t fire. Please make it convincing. The new bee keeper was such a small cameo
The Beekeeper - :heart:x7
It's your standard Statham actioner. It's entertaining enough.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
A film that could be a match for John Wick, the difference is that John Wick is only street/mafia level while The Beekeeper is at a national or multinational level.
The plot presented by The Beekeeper is ordinary, but with intense, tense and brutal action it manages to cover up these shortcomings.
Not to mention the acting from Josh Hutcherson who managed to irritate from start to finish.
It's not a bad action movie. Even though I'm not a big fan of Jason Statham, I am usually really entertained when I catch one of his movies.
This story takes some shortcuts to get you straight into the action and loses some of the story in the process .
But it's not too bad for action fans to watch.
The action was good and the premise was great. Would like to have seen a longer version, with the Beekeeper’s past, his time with the old lady, the old lady’s shock after getting scammed and some action from the bees like in that one Black Mirror episode.
Still gave a 7/10 cause even though I didn’t care much about the old lady dying, the premise included old people getting scammed and crypto bros stealing with false hopes so those emotions got transferred.
It was entertaining. Good way to pass time. There are lot worst movies out there that focuses on woke shit and the gays.
This movie is just pure entertainment without all that woke shit.
John Wick + CJ + Hitman = The Beekeeper
The plot is simple, for Jason Statham, one more star
Exactly what we wanted tonight. A stupid, but entertaining vengeance tale with some decent and brutal fight scenes. Kurt Wimmer wrote this and although he's penned some duds, this one is probably #3 for me behind equilibrium and law abiding citizen. Ayer likes directing pulpy actioners. Good combo. Statham is born for this type of role. I wanted this to push into the mid 7s, but the final third devolved enough for it to land on a 6.6. Very friendly scoring, but immensely entertaining junk.
There are a lot of things i had issues with in the movie. the bomb thing with the next call and he was still standing there, also how it ended like they were rushing to end it.
I will give it 6.7/10
Entertaining action movie,but a bit too much
I came for some serious Statham action ... and boy did they deliver. POW! ..CRACK...BOOM...SPLAT!...BANG BANG...SMASH!...POOF
Like having a bee in your bonnet: it's exciting, honey (despite the WTFism).
This story of a retired invincible government agent out for revenge feels like The Equalizer but is boosted by tons of action and a strong initial conflict.
The 'twist' at the end is so predictable and unnecessary I'm not even sure it's a twist, but Statham is his reliable self and it's nice to see Josh Hutcherson in my villain era.
(Seen in IMAX.)
Clay: "I was bringing her a jar of honey."
Parker: "Who are you, Winnie the Pooh?"
Fun, dumb, entertaining and violent. It's essentially a copy of John Wick, even Statham's character gives off John Wich vibes; quiet, impassive, a man of few words... not much of a performance BUT he's great in the physical scenes. It's a shame there's no unique style to it but the action is good nonetheless. The gas station and the final fight were pretty epic.
A simple story of revenge like we're used to, fast-paced and straight to the point. So satisfying watching scammers getting what they bee-serve. The villains are over-the-top and take ridiculous twists and turns. The dialogue is awful but the bee puns really sting, you know it's bad but can't help but chuckle. Bee puns are good for your health, they give you a dose of Vitamin Bee!
Overall not very memorable but I had a good time. I want to know more about the other Beekeepers but I don't think this is worth a sequel. Buzzing off!
He is the Beekeeper. That is an indisputable fact. Another typical action movie with Jason Statham in yet, yet also another good one.
SPOILERS BELOW (since spoiler toggle isn't working)----------------------------------------
There is a plot hole that kinda makes me grit my teeth; the mother got scammed and she immediately just kills herself rather than consulting her FBI cyber security daughter... uh... like why wouldn't she do that first before just saying "meh, time to off myself"
This is John Wick directed by Law and Order's Dick Wolf with a techie bad guy worse than the one in Die Hard 4. Action is good, story is shit. Wait for Netflix.
The trailer had all the good bits. I managed to watch it all for the action sequences, but other than that, it was mediocre. Big John Wick vibes too, you can really tell how good John Wick is compared to this. It's not a bad movie. It's just trying to hard to be something it doesn't have to be. Now that I think about it, maybe it was a bad movie. I have no reason to love it, not even Jason Statham and his dodgey accent.
Statham 10/10, fun as always, writing 3/10, uninspired and boring, everything else 1/10, and I feel I'm being generous. The only reason to watch this is if you like a Statham action, nothing else. If I did not recognize some of the actors from other movies/shows, I would think they were random people they found on the street—total amateur hour. And the whole dumb and dumber FBI act got tired so quickly. Why were they in the movie? What was the point?
Definitely a John Wick knockoff but you can't go wrong with Jason Statham killing and beating the crap out of everybody. I certainly didn't need a lesson on bees.
It put a smile on my face to see that bridge scene in the first 30mins which is a location that's close to my heart, been going to the seaside ever since I was a little kid
Standard Statham fair but with a half decent supporting cast
I like Jason Statham. I also like the concept of the movie, but it’s not something that I would watch again.
Jason had like 5 lines. I guess he decided to make this because no prep work.
This was pretty dumb. It's worse Nobody. The bee themed killing is just so stupid. It almost felt like a PSA for scammers as if the film was talking directly to them going: HEY DONT SCAM PEOPLE ITS WRONG.
The fights were alright, but the stakes weren't there because of just how insanely OP the protagonist is. I really liked the fight with the south african guy but the dialogue was so shit and memey. If you like more of the same, it's alright.
Another John Wick movie. I like this one. this had scenes I liked. as a movie in whole. gotta say average. and this I've to say. Emmy Raver is sucha terrible actress.. she scuks soo hard. she's beautiful but acting is below par. there's a helicopter scene where she is saying "she's his work wife". maybe because of the direction i dunno. she's just terrible to watch most of the scenes.
The biggest problem with these John Wick clones is that they never really tread new ground. Adam Clay is another government-trained super assassin who easily beats his enemies like a fucking Terminator.
I will give the movie some credit for surprising me with the fact that his main target was the son of the President of the United States. That did surprise me, but the conclusion was as hollow as all the other Wick clones.
Decent action, but nothing new by any stretch. Killing Clair Huxtable off right off the bat was another surprise, but still not enough to make this worth its time.
Jason Statham gets his own John Wick and we enjoy his revenge.
Not enough bee puns.
[5 words]
Wow. That was hard to watch. Good fight scenes but awful dialogue and every joke fell flat.
This movie is hot garbage. Only thing that stung from the beekeeper was having to watch it.. if you have nothing but time and want to waste brain cells have at it...
It's just so over the top it becomes embarrassing to watch..
I'm of a certain age where I like the movies I watch to have some basis in the real world. This has none..
If that's your bag you'll probably enjoy it.
It's not a terrible movie but it's not good either. I just hope no bees were killed in this movie..
Spoiler alert I don't think that real honey was used in the film, it was far too clear and runny.
Could have been great but let down by a poor story
43 minutes in and the acting is terrible. the plot is garbage. going to finish it hoping to see something interesting but stathom only appears to be there to kill things with very little dialogue.......
Having now finished the film the action got better and closer to a Stathom movie, still very little "acting" from Stathom the rest of the cast act like they should be in B cinema from the 90's
Entertaining enough scenes in the last 40 mins or so of the movie.
