Review of The King's Man

I had high expectations, but I'm disappointed. The movie tried to capture the smarts and wit from the first two movies, but failed to do so for the most part. It had a couple of good moments, but also a lot of bad ones. They had quite a stellar cast to their disposal but gave them quite poor material to work with... story is all over the place and most characters felt stale, there was no attraction. Also the period in time the movie takes place in doesn't seem to work for what you'd expect out of a 'Kings Men' movie... I think this one would've worked better if they made this a gritty one, something different to set it apart from the first two movies but still give it a good origin story.
