8 out of 10, I loved the first two Kingsman movies and all of Mathew Vaughn’s
movies so far. That streak almost came to an end with this Kingsman prequel set
during the First World War. I must have been in a bad mood on the first watch because
it recovered nicely the second time. It didn’t have the trademark whimsical fun
of the first movies until the climactic battle which was pure Kingsman. Ralph
Fiennes does an admirable job of showing the Kingsmen origins as he fights
through a tough father-son dynamic. The Rasputin section was decidedly weird but
the duel was very Russian. More screen time for Gemma Atterton would have been
a plus but she’s mostly wasted until that final confrontation. I didn’t love it
but my expectations might have been too lofty. Still worth a watch.
MVP:
Arterton as Polly, the first Galahad
