The King's Man
SCORE: 65
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
was given a retail Blu-ray + Digital Code version of The King's Man.
This is my first exposure to this franchise. I had heard of the other
movies. I just had never watched any of them before. The King's Man is
the origin of the franchise and the intelligence agency from the other
movies. We learn a variety of things about the origins of this
organization.
The King's Man is set in the time period of World War I. The King's Man
is a piece of fantasy and fiction. There are historical moments
referenced in The King's Man. There are also plenty of historical
innaccuracies within The King's Man. This is something sadly that Holly
Weird is known for. The most glaring historical mistake in The King's
Man revolves around Rasputin. Which is a shame because he was a very
interesting character historically.
The issues families can have with The King's Man are blood, violence,
gore, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sexual comments, bad language,
promotion of sexual deviancy, and more. There are some shocking moments
within The King's Man that I was not expecting. The trench warfare was
especially brutal in The King's Man. I wonder how many men were actually
killed by friendly fire in World War I.
I doubt there is a real and genuine way to show war that does not go
into the R rating of a film. I do think there was content that could
have been toned down within The King's Man. The decapitation of a man is
a great example. The bad language could have also been toned down. The
Shepherd character was being brutal physically in The King's Man. There
was no need for that character to use the F word so many times. He kills
a goat, and chops off the horn of another goat. We get it, he is bad.
There was no need for him to show an addiction to profanity.
There are plenty of bonuses on the The King's Man disc to watch. We are
treated to a six part making of documentary, remembrance and purpose, No
Man's Land, and more. It took me 131 minutes to watch The King's Man
from the start to the finish. There is even a very interesting scene
within the credits. Although there maybe an issue with the mustache.
There is plenty of action and humor within The King's Man. The whole
parachute conversation was absolutely hilarious. The Lord in The King's
Man denounces his ancestors and what they accomplished for him. I do not
know if they were really scroundrels or not. At some point I may need to
check out the other movies in this franchise to see where it went.
