The King's Man

"As fancifully schlocky as its predecessors."

"A spectacular splurge of bad taste..."

"A cheeky revisionist-history/action-movie blast."

"In the way of the First World War which it chronicles, there simply aren't enough good men or women to throw at The King's Man who could ever make a difference."

"Triumphant action and epic performances are dragged down by a confused story and overlong runtime."

"Crammed with... ideas - some inspired, some underworked, and quite a few that should have been binned."

"Incoherent, cynical and dull..."

"All the pleasures of The King’s Man find themselves inevitably undermined by its hollowness."

"The King's Man'seeks to expand the spy franchise, but this prequel just might end it."

"(A) larky, vulgar Bond pastiche..."

"It is never boring, but it is also never remotely consistent..."

"A big-screen experience with plenty of whizz-bang..."

"Even an extraordinary Ralph Fiennes can’t save this film..."

"Uninspired..."

"A regressive, distorted portrait of England..."
