Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in THE KING'S MAN. A group of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds, including Rasputin (Rhys Ifans), has gathered to plot a mercenary war that will wipe out millions of innocent people across the world. Enter Kingsman, the world's very first independent intelligence agency. Sworn to operate at the highest levels of ethics and discretion, the lethal, impeccably trained spies use an elite haberdashery business as a front for the organization. Dedicated to stopping the imminent carnage, Kingsman founding member, the Duke of Oxford (Ralph Fiennes), recruits a protégé, Conrad (Harris Dickinson), to join the organization and help set history on a more positive course. Directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring a stellar cast, including Gemma Arterton, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Daniel Brühl, with Djimon Hounsou and Charles Dance, THE KING'S MAN is an exhilarating chapter in the Kingsman franchise.

Really bad, nothing like the other too. Once again they pop in some pc rubbish and then mix up reality with total fantasy and it doesn't worth. Fiennes is a great actor but he's stiff, wooden and dull in this. After the Rasputin fight I switched off and have up.

As a Stand alone movie I enjoyed it, and it was interesting to witness the origins of the Kingsmen organisation (which was literally wiped out in the 2nd movie and Yankeefied). The death that spurned the organisation was a little too contrived for my liking, like that of the Queen/Senator in the Starwars prequels. The ability for the villain to appear to be in two places at once was also a bit naff. I watched it twice, felt uncomfortable about the Rasputin scenes and fast forwarded it, as it has little impact on the plot.

High production values, but a dreadful film IMO. I guess it's tongue and cheek examination of history, but the poor French got completely erased from the Great War. It's not the historic inaccuracy that make it so painful (I never realised Lenin was a member of Spector), and the individual performances are all good. It just doesn't come together.
