      They had to keep saying stuff like how much chemistry they have, sexual tension, etc. because they didn't lol. Like both leads are very attractive and I get why they'd realistically be together, but they did not have true chemistry here imo so it felt forced when characters kept mentioning how "hot" they were for each other.

John Cho is Bruce Banner, the Russell Brand dupe is Tony Stark, Adrian Brody is Zemo and that space needle scene at the end is giving the hellicarrier fight in winter soldier and them panning around the kennedy center makes sense cause the SHIELD HQ that got destroyed was on the Potomac (pretty much same place) also the rival spy she had to kill was Clint otherwise you know Jeremy Renner woulda shown up no problem

    I really think Evens needs to do some serious roles. He had a moment there with Knives Out and The Gray Man: both against type supporting roles; but, if he wants to be taken seriously post MCU he's gotta do what ScarJo and Sebastian Stan have done: take interesting, serious, non-action/ romcom roles. He didn't have the filmography of Mackie, Renner or Cumberbatch before the MCU. He doesn’t have the long-term reputation like Cheadle and Jackson; nor did he bank the *really* big bucks like RDJ. Evens is gonna end up in the same boat as Hemsworth: type cast for action if he doesn't manage his career better.

      Money. Actors and writers get paid upfront for a steamer movie, but if they are listed as a producer they can get residuals.
      In this case Ana producer credit is purely for extra money and credit. Meanwhile Chris was the one actually producing the movie.

    When I heard this was a romantic comedy about a man and a spy, and that it was originally supposed to be starring who would be most recognizable as Captain America and Black Widow, I naturally assumed like many probably did that it was originally supposed to be some AU fanfiction, like 50 Shades but without any of the shades.
    But the title Ghosted made me think that maybe this was a tongue in cheek reference to the 'Cap' character being a World War II era ghost, and a modern globetrotting spy being smitten with him over the time it takes her to get useful information from him, after the fun scenes of her realizing ghosts are real, of course.
    I was extremely disappointed this was what we got instead.

The answer is they are largely all on the Ted Lasso set. So when Captain America used tiles instead of airtags it took me a second to figure it out, an airtag chimes when it's following someone and if there's an airtag following you that isn't yours it pings your iphone. That's been something apple's been adamant about the airtag, no you can't use it to do the creepy shit that our leading man is doing in our newest streaming POS feature length film. But regardless it's stupid that a James Bond level superspy would be foiled by a tile.
      The use of chekov's gun felt so ubiquitous that it was like it was a script writing assignment and the prof asked them to include a certain number of examples of chekov's gun. There were so many that even the Jedi lady missed one.

    • Dexter Fletcher is an amazing director. He made that beautiful Elton John biopic Rocketman and the very enjoyable Eddie the Eagle and, judging by the trailer, it looked like a very stylish flick
    • It had an interesting & funny premise that i thought perfectly balances spy action and comedy
    Instead, we have one of the biggest disappointments of this year:
    The chemistry between the leads is still there and the acting is good. But everything else felt like it was on autopilot and the direction felt subpar. It’s just spy cliche after spy cliche.
    Such a shame that they wasted so many talented actors and a great director here. They deserve better than this.
