Critics Consensus

Ralph Fiennes' solid central performance in The King's Man is done dirty by this tonally confused prequel's descent into action thriller tedium.

Audience Says

The King's Man might be a little too long, but it takes the franchise in a fresh direction without losing any of the action fans are looking for.

Afterwards I had to check if, for example, Mata Hari seduced US president Woodrow Wilson. This did-it-happen? question holds the interest throughout what is otherwise just another well-made, well-acted spy caper.

Rated: 3/5

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

Tonally and thematically The King's Man is all over the place, in a way that lays bare the cynicism of Vaughn's own mission: to appear transgressive yet reassuringly conventional.

Rated: 1/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

The tone lurches awkwardly from sweeping colonial melodrama to grim battle epic, camp, pseudo-Bond caper and crass, unfunny farce.

Rated: 2/5

“The King’s Man” may be my favorite entry in a problematic franchise. I always preferred Colin Firth to Taron Egerton. The prequel tricks audiences into accepting the fifty-nine-year-old, single and child free Fiennes as the protagonist and an action star

Mr. Movie's Film Blog

For a prequel that promised something large, loud, and ostensibly entertaining, the movie just doesn’t quite suit up.

It pulled too far away from what it was meant to lead up to. Half way through I felt like I was watching a completely different movie/franchise. Charming characters and fun moments, but overall disappointing compared to what the other movies were.

It was fine. Definitely my least favorite in the Kingsman franchise. It seemed slow and long. The fight scenes were too silly. The film seemed to try to take a more serious note without actually being serious.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
