My Thoughts:
This action packed prequel is one not to be missed. Rhys Ifans and Ralph Fiennes are simply amazing in this take of the King’s Man. While is revolves around a war movie, there are many action scenes which are simply divine. There is some confusion on my end which genre the movie wanted to portray as I saw action, comedy, war, and thriller all mixed together. The first half of the movie versus the second half seemed out of disconnect but overall made it work. However, I found the movie entertaining and both my husband and I were very interested from start to finish. We have not watched the other films in this series but now we are interested in checking them out. I give King’s Man 3/5 stars.
