Review – The King’s Man

Imagine watching a game of Pong. Half the screen is a reasonably entertaining pastiche of pulp adventure yarns. The other half is a father and son arguing about whether or not the boy can enlist in the army. Even the half that didn’t suck nonetheless had problems. The fight scenes were sometimes poorly paced. In particular, Rasputin took longer to die in this movie than he did in real life, which is saying something. And when the supervillain finally emerges from the shadows at the end … suffice it to say that the folks who made this should have spent some time watching RuPaul’s Drag Race so they could find out what happens to queens who do a reveal that doesn’t amount to much. Mildly amusing
