    Ruined Voldemort for me
    The movie follows 1940 movie style entertainment. Everything that happens is a classical action movie trope we've seen hundreds of times in action movies.

    The main characters are awfully written and it is near impossible to get invested into either of them. Doesn't even feel like it's a prequel to the loved kingsman franchise. There was a lot of nothing happening throughout the movie and honestly I didn't even know where they were going with anything. Directionless

    The worst part is I will never be able to look at Voldemort the same again. Watch this movie and it will ruin Harry Potter for you.

    Be warned, you are in for quite the snooze fest when you watch this movie.

    Outstanding.
    This was a very impressive movie.

    I put off watching it for some time but finally got to it tonight and I was not disappointed.

    Well made movie with a good, fast pace and lots of action. I found it to be well written and well acted.

    I wasn't a fan of the actor who played Conrad, seemed a bit bland and may have got ahead with his looks and not his ability.

    Overall, I found this to be a fun and enjoyable movie.

    Makes me want to re visit the other flicks which I eventually will do.

    If you like the other movies or English, spy like movies - I highly recommend this. You will not be disappointed.

    Nuts.. Whole hazel nuts.. You couldn't make this up.
    OK. This propoganda piece of hokum is funded by MI5/Buck House or more likely Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

    It's the only way it makes sense. Here we go. Let's rewrite history: From a barn every cartoon baddie been told to start WWI as a means to Scottish independence.

    Cut to Sarajevo, we have the proto "M" beside Sophie and the Arch Duke.

    1st rewrite. Cut to Kaiser Billy and Csar Nicky. Don't ask. It's the Rasputin show. What I want to know is how much Ralph Fenines was paid. He says and I had to hear it 3 times "I'm not sure that's cricket". Oh and we have that beauti "The Zimmerman Telegram" here we're told it saved lives. Brits got it Jan 1917. Let Yanks know April.

    Timeline 1917: Jan. Turkey denounced Berlin Treaty.

    Feb. "Unrestricted" U-Boat war begun.

    Feb. America broke with Germany.

    Feb. British recaptured Kut-el-Amara.

    March 11. British entered Bagdad.

    March 12. Revolution in Russia.

    March 15. Abdication of the Czar.

    March 18. British entered Péronne.

    We are led to believe Woodrow Wilson couldn't believe the "HUN" were so dastardly.

    So now Conrad (our hero, son of Ralph/M) is in the trenches. With who.. He's in some Scottish regiment with lots of cunning, treasonous Scotsmen.

    What happened next in no man's land well we have Conrad wearing the skirt killing numerous Germans in a wonderful knife fight then a man who has his leg blown off consoles Conrad who unburdens himself of his daddy issues. Fella with one leg tells him to go home and be a hero. Conrad picks him up and they run through a hale of machine gun fire. I'm not making this up. But enter Cockney Geezer with "Jesus Christ you're amazing" hero says "I must carry on the mission" Cue. Crazy Scotsman shots hero in the forehead. Ralph gives us his best tragic piece of over acting. Clutching photo of Conrad while Shola (Juba from Gladiator) looks on admiring. Hes a butler. Enough said.

    Don't worry we still have 40 minutes left and Marta Hari, Adolf Hitler have not made their appearance yet. You heard me right. Adorable Adolf has a part too.

    Ralph is a wreak. The king has to change his name. England is doomed. But Conrad gets the VC. And a good northern lass puts Ralph straight. Pull yourself together. "Be the man you're son would have been". She quits. Kisses Ralph. But you can't walk out on Ralph. He wants a cup of tea.

    I'm not making this up So we're into act 3. Northern lass has put an agent into the Whitehouse. All the butlers are bent.

    Ralph is in a mission.

    Last scene.... YES.. They all sit around a table and MI6 is born. King Georgie is a founding member.. You couldn't make this up.

    A prequel with a bland taste.
    Long before the formation of the Kingsman secret agent, in the 20th century a former soldier and a secret agent tried to save the world when a band of tyrants gathered to exterminate millions of people.

    The King's Man is arerun of the previous two Kingsman films. The film discusses the beginning of the formation of the secret organization Kingsman. The King's Man revolves around a former soldier and secret spy agency who has a mission to stop a bunch of tyrants who plan to exterminate millions of people. This film is set during World War I. However, bringing the time setting during the war does not give much of a good impression on this film. The film lacks an interesting storyline and the direction of the story is less focused. This film tries to give a mysterious feel in showing the figure of the enemy faced, but in fact it doesn't really feel good and not surprising. In addition, this film also features too many Rasputin characters as villains. For me, a large portion of Rasputin's character actually has no influence on the storyline. It should focus a lot on such a bunch of tyrants. Another conflict that is not so important to me is the conflict between Conrad Oxford and Orlando Oxford. Their conflict is felt bland and futile to display. One disturbing thing, the film's ending with a goat header scene that looks silly and imposing.

    The King's Man has interesting visuals. It's not far from the previous two Kingsman movies. Likewise, in each scene of the fight scene, which also uses the same formula as before. One thing that is uncomfortable to look at is the use of one actor in the rendition of three king characters that at first glance look the same and become confusing.

    The action scenes are boring
    I went to cinema for this movie and I was wery exited for it. I came with the with open mind, because I kind of expected it to be bad. The only thing I wanted from this move was good actions scene the Kingsmen franchise is known for.

    I was very disappointed. The actions scenes weren't bad really, there was some amazing choreography in there, but it was just mediocre compared to the previous movies.

    I was missing the up beat music, the perfectly synchronized action to the music, long shots with carefully hidden cuts. The stuff that really made the previous Kingsmen movies stand out.

    My friend described it perfectly. "It just looks like marvel fight scene. Standing camera, multiple shots and the actors are doing all the work."

    What happened
    I loved the first and second one, but I have to be honest this one was awful if they had done this one first there would never have been a sequel. I look at the other reviews and the number of stars they are giving it. I believe they are also using their feelings towards the first two because two stars is all this deserved. I don't care how many talented actors where in it if the script is awful the movie will be awful. I was going to give this one star, but the acting was great. The producer and director set design etc... all did their jobs very well. The problem was the script they could not have gone farther of course from the originals. I would go so far as to say this should have given this a different title because it does not reflect the two other Kingsmen movies at all. I was so looking forward to this movie because I thoroughly enjoyed the other two. Anyone who hasn't seen this don't rush to see it you are not missing anything. Again, I think some people gave this a higher rating because they were afraid the series would be canceled. If the writing is going to be like this one, then I could careless but if they are like the first two, I would really like to see another one. I am afraid to that this one was so bad that it may have gotten the series canceled. Or at best postponed any future Kingsmen movies they were going to do. I don't know nor have I looked it up does anyone know if the same writers were used for part 1, 2 and 3 ? I do hope they go back to the same format as before with the same writers, director and producer they used in the first 2 I see this having the ability to run long term like the Bourne series or even the James Bond movies it will all be about the writing and the casting hopefully they will make another like the ones that drew us all in to be fans to begin with.
