The King’s Man

Watching The King’s Man was like watching a hockey game, sure you’ll watch it, but the whole time you’re really just hoping to see a fight. And that is precisely what this movie was missing, more action!

If I wanted to see Ralph Fiennes in a drama, I’d watch The English Patient, and I already did that in high school (to avoid reading the book).

I will say that I appreciated learning the history of The Kingsmen organization that this origin story offered, such as why they’re all named after King Arthur’s knights or why it exists, but at 2 hours and 11 mins, I definitely felt like they took the scenic route.

In conclusion, don’t expect the over-the-top action sequences that you remember from the first two films and second, before you return the book The English Patient, at least bend the spine several times and dog-ear a few pages otherwise Mr. Gomez will know you watched the movie and didn’t read the book.
