I think Atomic Blonde was a better film. But as you say, worth a watch.
There is a few different ones is 2017 the film version?
Soldato
Atomic Blonde is pretty good, and yeah think it's 2017, quite a recent one that I saw anyway.
Not as good as the John Wicks though

I wouldn't rely on trailers too much to determine whether you should watch a film or not.
How come they give an insight into the film tjo
Soldato
I 100% prefer watching films without trailers if I can get away with it.
They very often throw in spoilers, or change expectations.
Normally if I get a recommendation, a bit of a read of the blurb on IMDB and a look at the score (which is an indicator at least). If the story sounds interesting and the score is good then I'll just go watch it rather than watching trailers.

Trailers are deliberately made and marketed to give loads of the movie away. Something like 70/80% of film goers that are regularly surveyed say they want trailers of this style so they know exactly what they are getting.
These are commonly known as cinema 'casuals' and make up the majority of box office takings, therefore studios pander to the request and essentially show you a cut down version of the entire movie across 2 and a half minutes.
I'll generally watch an early teaser but avoid full length trailers.

Sometimes I'll just watch the first 50% or so of a trailer, as it usually contains less spoilers that way!

Terminator Genesys is a great example of a pivotal spoiler exposed in the trailers, should have been a 'wow, wtf' moment but everyone knew it was coming.

I make a point of avoiding trailers.
As for Atomic Blonde, the "one take" fight scene towards the end of the film is great and really well done.

That’s my reason for avoiding them for the most part. If it’s some big blockbuster that I know I’ll watch anyway then it’s no concern.
Excellent trailers mean you go into the film expecting it to be brilliant, I’ve been burned so many times with those.
Then there are trailers I’ve watched that are really poorly put together and the film has been superb.
Like you, I look at scores on RT, IMDB or metacritic, read the gist of the story and then make my decision from that. I don’t want to see pieces of the film and to piece things together (sometimes subconsciously) before watching it.
Think I still need watch this missed one of the terminator films
Soldato
Yeah it's a voyage of discovery then, all new footage etc. Especially when watching films where it feeds you info and lets you interpret stuff, like Shutter Island and Get Out, which are both kind of mysterious.
Definitely the way forward!
Soldato
Honestly the newer terminator films are kind of garbage to me, but ymmv.
Many better options in your list of things to watch first though.
Yeah maybe but terminator is a timeless classic action film from my childhood
Soldato
1 and 2 were good I think, but the recent ones not so much (in my opinion anyway).
I really like Salvation...sure it's not the future war movie we all wanted but i've watched numerous times and it's great...until the end when the Terminator is flinging John around instead of just grabbing him and snapping his neck.
