Gavrilo Princip failing and then by chance sitting at a cafe when Ferdinand's car just drives by by happenstance. Except in the real history, Gavrilo sortof chickened out when the first bomb missed, and it didn't miss because someone cane-thwacked it away like a badass and the conspiracy group he was part of wasn't a ragtag high level international group led by a scott. Or how the movie played with the Rasputin rumors/legends/myths of assassination attempts that fail, emulating them all in one evening encounter. Or how the telegram to Mexico is played for laugh as an absolutely ridiculous idea even though... that did happen. It plays with real events just enough to be almost infuriatingly whacky with it at the same time, heh.

Rasputin was 100% a drug addicted sex machine that had a complete hold over the Russian Royal family because of his pseudo science “magic” healing of their son Tsarevich Alexei.

The actor looked and felt like a calm and collected madman when donning Rasputin's 'face' and it looked amazing. The fight scene is one of the most enchanting (Yes enchanting) fight scenes i've seen in years, its not a fight of brute force or technology versus technology like a lot of super hero movies do these days, It was a literal Dance of death as Rasputin spinned and twirled endlessly like a tornando in an attempt to kill Shola. It was really really cool. Too bad they killed off Rasputin so early, he'd have made for a more compelling Antagonist. Having him be the sheperd all along would have been cooler and would have flowed into the urban legend of Rasputin being 'unkillable'.

He was also the only guy that was trying to keep Europe from falling into war.

Once Ferdinand was killed Hötzendorf had a clear path to start the war and he then bungled it horribly.

My teenage son is a serious nerd, which I say with the greatest of respect. Last year, in 8th grade, he wrote a book report on an 800+ page biography of Rasputin, in whom he had developed an interest whilst delving into why movies have the “Any resemblance to any person, living or dead” disclaimer. And, yeah, Rasputin figures prominent in that. So we caught him up with the first two movies, because he was interested when he saw the ads, and because of there’s one thing the boy loves in a movie, it’s a well choreographed fight scene, of which these movies are crammed full, because Wednesday night’s all right for fighting. 🙂. Anyway, turns out he knew more than the biography of Rasputin. He sat there in the theater, which was not too crowded on a weekday afternoon, and informed me as to which scenes were historically accurate and which were not. Turns out he’s very interested in WWI, as well. Beyond the obvious conspiracies silliness, it’s actually quite accurate, down to the manner in which Gavrilo Princip dispatched the Archduke. It was a lot of fun to see. It’s not as humorous as the first two, but it packs more of an emotional punch. More even than “Country Roads,” which we all sang in horrible accents.

They were copied from the Spanish who used them first in Cuba in 1895 under General Valeriano Weyler, basically similar to internment camps to control hostile populations from supporting guerrilla fighters. They in turn got the idea from the US reservations for Native Americans. The Spanish and British camps had a horrible death toll because of poor sanitation and low rations, especially as there was a policy of less rations if any of your family was out fighting. The Germans took the idea a step further after crushing a rebellion in their own colonies in 1904, and forced them into camps that weren't used to control a rebellious people, but to literally enslave and exterminate a defeated tribe. It meant they used the inmates as slaves to build railroads, buildings and docks, and undesirables were sent to Shark Island death camp where they were sent specifically to be killed en masse.

That being said the film, while by no means perfect, I still would call good in spite of it's short comings, and that's thanks in large part to the writing of the Characters. Oxford especially.

@Joey Boy but the need to break out of a bubble that your father has gone out of his way to force you in, is an instinct. AND YOU'RE AN ADULT. can you imagine being a whole adult and still forced in a bubble as if you're a lame? Its definitely emasculating

Best of the bunch IMO. The action wasn't JUST silly fun and the pacing was finally justified, you're building up to the eventual Kingsman formation. Would definitely watch a direct sequel to this one.

Yes, I was also unexpectedly amused by King's Man, since I had pretty low expectations. They had me with the knife fight backed by Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Historical accuracy (kind of) was an added bonus, and Charles Dance was

When my mom and I went to see the first 2 films, it was usually just us and maybe 1-3 other people. We tend to go see movies during the week and after they have been out for a few weeks, so the turn out wasn’t surprising. This time it was close to 7 or more people, with quite a few older men who I assumed didn’t watch the first 2 movies. I think whatever little marketing was put out (so little in fact, my mom didn’t even know they were making a prequel), it was pushed as more of a historical action movie than a prequel.

I’d love to see them do a similarly historical re-telling around the end credits tease, wouldn’t be hard to work in a story of the Kingsmen agency working to take out Hitler in WW2, have them be involved in the failed Von Staffenberg assassination plot and hitler ‘s eventual death and to frame it up as suicide to be historically accurate. With the kind of writing taking place in this one they could certainly come up with another entertaining couple of hours based around those events

@thomasthornton20022 жыл бұрын
The British fought in France so it was covered. but from a film making perspective the French had so much political turmoil that its hard to introduce an audience to their leaders because they kept changing and also the French spent much of the war on the back foot which doesn't really fit with the story of the desperate but fruitless western front attacks that the ww1 aspect of the film is based around

I really enjoyed this movie. I understand the negative feedback as it was very different from the first two movies but man, that whole sequence with Ray Fiennes son having the knife brawl in no man’s land at night was a 10/10 action sequence, right up there with the church massacre from the first movie.

The way this movie dealt with history drove me insane when I saw it. The secret group was supper stupid, the way the Zimmerman telegram was handled was wrong, and the fact that they made it seem like the war ended the second the US joined instead of a year later was infuriating.

@@iamafish7 You did have I believe five final offensives by the germans against the allies in a desperate attempt to punch a hole before the US came in force which was important to the end of the war.
