The original Kingsman were action packed fun movies that were very entertaining and surprising with some very colorful characters, and I had the same expectations for The Kings Man but they just took too a historical route which made it too long to get to the origins of the Kings Man - I wanted to love the movie, and enjoyed the first too and this was fun but not nearly as good and funny as the originals, that's the simplest way to put it.

A bit different than the predecessors, but also more of the same. The movie drags a bit with chains of fetch quests, but this has some of the best fight scenes in the entire series. I only wish the focus was a bit more reined in. A movie solely focused on Rasputin could have accomplished a lot of the same overarching themes without sacrificing flow and pacing. None-the-less, I enjoyed my time and the movie leaves me wanting more. Matthew Vaughn continues to demonstrate his talents and I look forward to his next project.

This is clearly Matthew Vaughn’s attempt to shake things up and expand the _Kingsman_ films into new territory. It's a very respectable choice (it’s easier to play it safe, because ultimately that’s what most people want), but we end up with a film that doesn’t quite get the appeal of the franchise. They used to be keep it simple, character driven and fun, and instead they went with something that’s too plot driven and overly serious here. A big part of what makes the first film great are its characters. Now, Ralph Fiennes is quite good in this, but Harris Dickinson’s character is very one dimensional (and his performance doensn’t have the charisma that Taron Edgerton gave to Eggsy), and the villains all feel like they’re ripped out of a saturday morning cartoon. It also struggles with its tone because of that. Like I said before, this is at parts oddly serious for a _Kingsman_ film, and then every time it cuts to the villains it feels like a completely different film and it goes completely bonkers, fully embracing the camp. It kinda reminded me of the first _Wonder Woman_ movie in that regard. The production makes up for a lot, though. It’s very stylish, you can instantly tell that this isn’t a generic Hollywood production. There’s a lot of personality in the visuals, and the action is well staged (not nearly as tacky as in _The Golden Circle_), I just wish there was a little more of it. I’d say it’s about as good as the second film. Not really memorable or something worth recommending, but it has its moments. 4.5/10

I enjoyed the movie - if you haven't watched the movie STAY FOR THE CREDITS - no spoilers here but there is a scene half way through the credits that you should stay for!! The film was what I was expecting and there are a few unexpected moments and one that caught the theatre by surprise!! I would definitely watch this again.

I liked it!! Different from the previous two but that’s a good thing
