The King's Man

Well it's better than Golden Circle at least

The third installment in the spy-action series is actually a prequel set in WW1. There is actually a heavy emphasis on the historical setting and many historical figures play a role in the plot. Which is both interesting and a problem with the film.
It shifts back and forth from a pulpy action-adventure to a harrowing war drama. It does not always mesh together well. Matthew Vaughn seems to be directing two different movies.
The action scenes are good though. The highlight is a a dance/duel between our heroes and the mad Russian monk Rasputin himself. Rasputin is played by Rhys Ifans and he's having a ball. Ralph Fiennes is actually quite good in this and handles himself well in the fight scenes.
There's a fun hundred minute action movie that is stretched into 130 minutes really for no reason.
