The king's man

[Ari]

Did a search but couldn't find anything on this film.

Huge fan of the first two Kingsman films - witty, fun, fast paced and spectacular. So I was keen to see what they'd done with this one.

It was dire! Plodding, depressing in places, and just... dire.

Utter waste of an evening, if you enjoyed the first two, leave it there.

[E63eeeeee...]

Yep, completely agree, I gave up after about an hour.

In contrast, I’d say that if, like me, you thought the first film was brilliant, give this one a try.

I found it blanked the memory of the rubbish second film quite effectively.

Sounds like this could be me. Loved the first film but thought the second one was painful crap and it put me off having anything to do them again. Might have to reverse that decision and give this one a try.

Wow, really surprised! I thought the second one was very much along the vein of the first, hard to imagine liking one but not the other. And then this was, for me, a complete tangent.

Just shows how subjective these things are.

It's the only film which I've fallen asleep during in the cinema. Absolutely no idea what was going on throughout it, and I think I woke up when they were on a cliff edge at the end and in a barn and I was jabbed in the ribs by my other half. Don't remember much else.

First two were enjoyable but couldn't follow this third one at all.

The third film is very different from the first two. Some laugh out loud moments especially regarding mad Rasputin, but overall a 7/10 film. Could have been way better. Good action scene but no flying Elton John.
