Ghosted

It’s safe to say that modern dating comes with a great deal of unpredictability. Someone may seem kind and attentive via a text message exchange but incredibly distant and cold in person. Someone may introduce themselves with a profile picture taken over 5 years ago and look like a completely different person when you meet for a drink.And perhaps the most unfortunate scenario: someone may suddenly and unexpectedly stop answering your text messages when you were already picturing your wedding venue.A social media user…

The Apple TV Plus movie Ghosted might be running with a pretty grim 28% Rotten Tomatoes score right now, but that doesn't seem to be stopping people from watching it, it seems.While the consensus among critics, as well as many who have just watched it for fun, is that Ghosted isn't a great watch, it's still punching above its weight in the streaming charts. So far above its weight that it's beating out some big movies, no matter what people seem to think of it.Apple TV Plus continues to do well in the world of TV shows…

For a movie one iMore writer called "neither funny nor particularly exciting," Apple TV Plus and Skydance project Ghosted sure seems to be proving popular.The movie stars Ana de Armas and Chris Evans and has shot to the top of the streaming charts since its Apple TV Plus premiere just a week ago.In fact, the much-hated movie has proven so popular that it even beat out HBO's Succession.Some big names ghosted by GhostedSuccession wasn't the only big name to find itself below Ghosted in the Reelgood Top 10 (opens in new…

Ghosted (opens in new tab) is a dreadful movie – despite its stellar cast and interesting premise, it's neither funny nor particularly exciting. The central pair of the piece, Chris Evans' Cole and Ana de Armas' Sadie, are so incredibly unconvincing that it's difficult to tell if they were even in the same room as each other over the course of filming, let alone whether they even met in person.The critic's consensus agrees, evidently, with a critics score on Rotten Tomatoes of 29%. It doesn't look like the almost…

Romantic comedies are littered with male heroes who deploy problematic, sometimes psychotic, behaviours in order to win over their heroine. After all, love conquers all, right? Even the reddest of flags.The latest victim to this misguided trope is the Apple TV+ Chris Evans and Ana de Armas action-romance, Ghosted.“I know it sounds crazy, but I think she might be the one,” Cole (Evans) announces to his family, after one date with art curator Sadie (De Armas). Turns out, his first impression was right – it is crazy.From the…

via Apple TV Is one widely-panned romantic action comedy enough to prove that a popular star’s career is on the skids? If you’re one of the many people who instantly detested Chris Evans and Ana de Armas’ Ghosted with a passion, then the answer is probably yes. It’s not the worst movie in the world, but it does stand a decent chance at being the most formulaic. Everything that you think is going to happen definitely does happen in exactly the ways you expect it to happen, all while two leads who’d previously…

Image via Apple TV Plus Viewers who have seen Apple TV Plus’ Ghosted were taken aback by the numerous celebrity cameos, particularly those from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ghosted, which stars Chris Evans, also formerly known as MCU’s Captain America, follows Evans’ character Cole on a quest to uncover why Sadie (Ana de Armas), the woman he fell head over heels for after just one date, cut off all communication with him only to find out that she was attempting to protect her identity as an international spy.…

Image via Apple Apple TV Plus debuted its much-anticipated rom-com/action film Ghosted today. Starring Chris Evans and Ana De Armas, Ghosted tells the story of Cole, who follows his girlfriend to London after she ghosts him and cuts off all contact, only to find that Sadie, the mysterious art curator he met earlier, is instead a CIA agent. Entangled in a web of spy work, Cole and Sadie soon find themselves on the run as a result of her real profession. The premise and the star-studded cast that features two fan…

It’s easy to see the commercial allure of Apple’s pre-summer mockbuster Ghosted, the package: a snappy buzzword title, an idea from the Deadpool team later fleshed out by some Marvel writers, a big, sexy star pairing proved on screen twice before, an action-comedy-romance hybrid designed to appeal to the widest possible audience. One can only imagine the enthused high-fives that took place in some cold, pristine LA boardroom when it was given the green light. But it’s utterly impossible to see the appeal of Ghosted, the…

Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cinematic email for freeThere is a lesson Hollywood can learn from Apple TV+’s action romcom Ghosted: if you want to tell a story about a schlub who falls for a spy, don’t cast Captain America as the ordinary one. It’s just asking too much of your audience. You can’t present us with Chris Evans as a guy named Cole Riggan (surely churned out by the “big, tough manly man” name generator) and then argue he’s the…
