94% of reviews on the world’s largest review aggregator site The audience reviews of ‘The Beekeeper’ are positive. This is a record for leading actors Jason Statham and ensures that his new action becomes the best-rated film of his career there of the actor. Until now, the Guy Ritchie gangster cult films “Jack, Queen, King, GrAs” and “Snatch” shared this record with 93% each.
“De Imker” is also well received by the trade press. With 70% positive votes, it is also one of the highest rated Statham films, but falls far short of the very best in favor of professional film critics. Taking first place is the action comedy ‘Spy – Susan Cooper’ – which Statham himself has repeatedly described as one of his best films.
FILMSTARTS.de also gives “The Beekeeper” a positive rating of 3 stars – which brings us directly to the necessary restrictions for the rating record.
‘The Beekeeper’ as Jason Statham’s best film? There are limitations
When determining the known Tomatometer percentages, Rotten Tomatoes only divides reviews and ratings into two categories: positive and negative! Our 3-star review is considered as positive as a 5-star review without any difference. It means that a film that everyone finds okay and decent, and that perhaps has a higher Tomatometer value than a title that is celebrated as a masterpiece by many but is also completely rejected by some.
On audience rating sites that work with rating average instead (like letterboxd, imdb, or even us), “The Beekeeper” ranks behind other Statham titles.
Another limitation: Early on, fans of Jason Statham and especially action films would have likely made a pilgrimage to the cinema for “The Beekeeper.” It’s not only entirely possible, but even likely that the value of David Ayer’s work (“Suicide Squad”) will drop somewhat in the coming weeks, and that’s where “Jack, Queen, King, GrAs” and “Snatch” stand at the top. Statham’s filmography.
But you can still see that the audience is currently having fun with ‘The Beekeeper’ and the quite surprising album is certainly a nice snapshot for the former British competitive athlete. He would also like to continue working with David Ayer. The duo is already working on a new project with “Levon’s Trade” – a new adaptation with a screenplay by a real action legend: Sylvester Stallone!
“The Beekeeper” is currently in theaters exclusively.
