Conrad dying was probably the most unexpected thing I've seen in a movie in a loooooong time
Honestly though, when it happened i was like “Is this the dad’s dream?”
Shit caught me off guard
They do tell you in Kingsmen that the founder had no heir, so it was inevitable that he would die; it's just the way that he died that was so shocking and out of nowhere.
not that unexpected when you remember how and why kingsman was founded from kingsman 1
@@xmatobujnakx Harry Hart: "Since 1849, Kingsman Tailors have clothed the world's most powerful individuals. In 1919, a great number of them had lost their heirs to World War I. That meant a lot of money going uninherited. And a lot of powerful men with the desire to preserve peace and protect life. Our founders realized that they could channel that wealth and influence for the greater good."
@@MrMetagaming bingo
The son's death caught me by SUCH a surprise. The way it happened was just so... I actually cried.
The guy who shot him was a jackass because even if he was a German spy wouldn’t it make sense to capture him or use him for intel… smh 🤦♂️ he just decided to shoot first
I feel bad that my only thought was that he got what he asked for
I wish they had addressed what happened to the soldier that killed him.
@@ofesp. just another soldier
@@pamoweiberezi5315 I know. But some form of punishment or even some remorse from him would have made the scene heavier in my opinion.
The ballet swordfight with Rasputin is magnificent. A glorious perfect storm of music, humor, artistry and violence
The Franz Ferdinand assassination is Kingsmanified but otherwise completely accurate to what really happened.
as well as the death of Herbert Kitchener, while in the movie it was seen as a U-boat piloted by The Shepard, IRL he died to a sea mine on a bad sea trip to Russia. As well if you look at how Rasputin dies, its similar to the assumed causes of death from the poisoning and asking for seconds to the multiple gunshot wounds and being left in a river.
They even killed his misses
There is song on Arch Duke Ferdinand death to treaty of Versailles Sabaton's The War to End all War's.
I feel bad about Arch Duke Ferdinand.
@@RichardLionheart12 the song is called Sarajevo and is named after the town where the assassination took place IRL
That hand to hand fight in No Man's Land was pretty cool.
Personally, that was my favorite scene in the movie
That was my favorite scene out of the whole franchise along with that church scene in the first film.
Surpassed wonder woman's no man's land for me
The whole Rasputin dance fight is easily the highlight of the movie for me.
The fb page heavily focused on Rasputin as the main villain to throw off suspicious.
Especially showing that dance fight.
This is georgian dance
Is it wrong if I want this Rasputin to have his own movie? 😆🔥🔥
@@sonjasabina3744 A Rasputin movie in this directing style would be pretty sweet.
@@marishamugia8969 Their whole culture and the beauty and power in their dance styles blow my mind! Lol
As most say here: Conrad's death was a real shocker.
They're Oxford's, not rogues.
The real Mata Hari was sentenced as a spy but she maintained innocence.
The actor who played the big lad at the elevator is Dutch.
And of course: Manners maketh man.
So many callbacks and shoutouts to the earlier films (or is it future films?).
Yup, this is a prequel of the entire Secret Service and takes place during the world wars, forget which one but seems like it’s WW2
@@soberscrim299 its ww1
@@blackmars2811 yep and war in the opening is the Boar War.
Brogues, not rogues.
@@Zeddyboi86 "We are Oxfords, not rogues." This is literally said in the tailorshop, before the Oxfords meet Kitchener and Morton there.
I definitely think the post credit scene is sequel baiting, but I don’t think it is setting up another prequel sequel with Hitler and WWII. The important thing is that the Shepherd society survived past the death of Morton, and was carried on by Zemo, doing things behind the scenes, like an anti-Kingsman organisation. I think this film, in part, is setting up that bad group to be the main antagonist in the third modern Kingsman film.
The guys are surprised by an after-credit scene in a movie with Bruhl, Hounsou, and Taylor-Johnson in it? I didn't see that coming ...
There basically Spector
No, it is setting up a sequel to The King's Man. Vaughn said himself that, if greenlit, it would focus on this cast dealing with the intervening years between the World Wars, and how this group sows the seeds for WW2. He did say however, that because of the problem of age, it wouldn't actually get into WW2 itself, as by the time that happens, Orlando, Polly and Shola would all be in their mid-late 70s.
@@scotthadden9816 so it wouldn't have a "happy" ending then. Because there will eventually be war.
@@hazri8758 I mean, as happy as a film about the World Wars CAN be... knowing that they were almost worse, but that such problems were prevented.
World War 1 was a family war. The amount of alliances made between the European Royal families with basically cousins and third cousins was insane.
As a Dane I've always been fascinated by it as the Danish King Christian the 9th was called Europe's father in law. His two eldest daughters were married off to England and Russia, becoming Queen and Zarina of the two largest empires, and who ultimately gave birth to George and Nikolai.
It's amazing
I really can not understand all the negative stuff I’ve read about the Kingsman series, but tbh, every new entry has managed to keep me intrigued by the story and characters.
It’s such a fun, yet serious and creative series man, I just hope we get more movies after this one…
The second one didn’t do it for me
2nd one had a lot of missed opportunities but still tons of fun which is kinda the point of the series.
Can't say I was surprised Conrad died. Harry spoiled that in that first movie. But how he died was so shocking. There were so many fakeouts that him dying just when he made it to "safety" was so much more unnerving than him heroically dying on the battlefield.
For Aaron to think Archie was Arthur in the first Kingsman, he does realize that's 100 years time difference? Also, didn't notice it the first time in theaters but Hitler was in the film much more than just that credits tease.
Can you elaborate on your last statement where or how was it more?
@Ninjario Picmin was he at that table the whole time?
@@NinjarioPicmin Hitler was there when Kaiser abdicated and was the gunman who assassinated the Tsar and his family
Aaron makes extreme leaps in logic sometimes or forget clearly stated facts five minutes later.
Like when he exclaimed if Ms Marvel punched a hole in the ground all the way to the harbor (what?) Rather than the obvious hole into the sewers which would lead out into the harbor.
I knew Conrad was going to die from the line in Kingsman about rich men sick of their children dying in wars.
But fuuuuck, did it still come out of nowhere. The hero moment was over, and he died in such an ignoble way.
Amazing, yet, incredibly depressing, scene
Yer he just ran through a hail of shots to get killed by some random soldier on his own side
I was expecting Adrian Carton De Wiart in this movie
Honestly looking back on it, it’s the most unbelievable part of the movie. The odds of a soldier being _that_ trigger happy when they’d likely be sentenced to death for their rashness…
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 Nah, that's bullshit. It's easy to cry "But the soldier was wrong" because we already knew he was wrong, but as far as that soldier was concerned, a German soldier had killed his friend, taken his uniform, and was trying to fall into their ranks. That is far from the craziest thing spies pulled throughout the war. Then when you consider the aggression and fear soldiers were constantly having to process, or subsequent numbness, not to mention the adrenaline dump from the firefight they'd just had not even a minute prior, it's no wonder he didn't hesitate to shoot.
Should he have held off until more information was revealed? Definitely. Was it right that he took a shot on what was effectively just a hunch? Absolutely not. None of that makes it unbelievable. Oh, and unless everyone present hated his guts before this exchange, it's likely he wasn't sentenced to death for his rashness. The other soldiers were all there and saw all the same things, and were likely just as suspicious. A lot of wrongdoings were swept under the rug. Even after determining that Conrad wasn't a spy, it's easy for everyone there to claim he was struck by a German bullet. That's far from the worst thing they'd have to live with due to the war.
In reality those rich men rarely ever had their sons go off in war , it’s for poor people
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Much more dramatic rather than the tongue in cheek one the first one was. When the son died, that was so shocking and sad. The sequences are so good as Eric has said. I really think this is pretty underrated.
Kaiser Wilhelm II mother was the sister of King George V father. King George V mother was sister to Tsar Nicholas II mother. They were fifth cousins as well as they were all equal decendants of King George II of England. Nicolas and George look so alike they could easily be identical twins!
Every Kingsman movie has that one over the top action scene that really makes it memorable and the dance fight is definitely that for this movie
If only the rest of the movie wasn't irredeemable.
At first i thought wow, they're really good at casting the kings with the actors resembling each other, then later had a laughing fit when I realised that all three were played by Tom Hollander.
Apart from the Kaiser, it made sense as the two George and Nikolai were so identical that they often were mistaken for brothers in their younger years.
I was confused every time the King came on screen I thought he was the Russian one 😂
Rasputin was a way cooler villain than the Shepherd, really.
I was so thrown by the younger Conrad's death too. I totally forgot until a rewatch of "The Secret Service"that Kingsman was begun by people who had lost their children to war to prevent them from happening again.
I thought villain was Serbian assassin.
The assassin was only a pawn.
man this movie is really fun, hoping for a sequel to the prequels
they are planning on doing a sequel to "The King's Man "and then a third one to finish Eggsy `s storyline..
@@TheKing20501 wait is this THE Lucifer Morningstar? I love your films
Wasn't as good as the main 2, but still a good movie
Was pleasantly surprised by this movie after completely hating the 2nd one and the first was one of my favorite movies. Hope they keep it up going forward.
@@TheKing20501 oh finally they are doing a third one for eggsy to finosh it
Seeing this in theaters was a trip, can’t wait to see how you guys feel!
Everyone in the theater thought the after credits guy was going to be Stalin and then the reveal happened and everyone was surprised.
I think this movie works so well because after how wild Kingsman 2 went with all the fights and camera work thay IMO hurt the movie, having a movie in the same style but toned down, works so much better.
That little moment when Eric said "Polly" as Arthur Shelby is my favorite part of this reaction.
The mid credit scene of this movie has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The dramatic zoom as Hitler steps out of the shadows and introduces himself like he's a f**king comic book character who's about to get his own trilogy of 'KCU' movies. "It is an honor, Comrade Lenin" sent me off of my chair. COMRADE LENIN 😂. If this isn't the absurd pinnacle of contemporary culture then I don't know what is. You couldn't make a parody this good.
Hitler: “Fine, i’ll do it myself”
@@dantenagarjuna811 "I'm here to talk to you about the Anschluss Initiative."
It was so insulting to actual history and political ideologies of the twentieth century it loops right around to being hilarious conspiracy bait.
@@jasonutty52 Not really, considering many people forget that Hitler started the nazi party, which is a shorthand for "Nationalist socialist worker's party". Hitler was a socialist-turned-fascist. If he hadn't have met Mussolini and copied his idea, he very well may have turned out like Lenin or Stalin.
@@SSD_Penumbra nothing you said in that comment is correct. Literally nothing. Didn't even open a single wikipedia page lmao
Conrad's death definitely made me cry the most out of any recent film just out of pure shock
The Worst Thing about the Entire Frontline Plot is that Stuff like that actually happend... Its sad and Terrifying at the Same Time
Especially in the first few weeks where they were still working out how to fight this new war. In the first few months 2 million died
I swear to God this film felt Like an Austin Powers film with just a little bit more edge in the fight scenes. Loved it alot,and my God the trench night time fight and the Rasputin fight were beautiful to witness.
I also loved seeing Djimon Honsou as the Ancestral origin of the title of Merlin,and anyone who as seen the Golden Circle should know that Mark Strong wouldve made The OG merlin Proud.
This movie slaps, the fights are just so good.
Also the amount of recognisable actors in this, I guess we've reached a point since literally everyone is part of the superhero movie genre now, you can't unsee them, goddamn...
On the subject of the Hitler scene at the end, my immediate thought the first time I saw it was, "So when's he getting a shave?", idk why that was my first thought, but it was...
So glad you guys enjoyed this.
I love how this movie is like doing it’s best to stay historically accurate! One of my favorite bits is that they mixed like all of Rasputins assassination attempts into one scene!
Cool fact, the guy playing Rasputin also played Luna lovegoods father in Harry Potter 👍
If you know the history of ww1 this movie is very fun to watch
With how much they get right or with how much they got wrong?
Well they got alot of things right, but they gave a fun twist to it because it is still a kingsman movie, but the gravilo princip part where he misses and then goes to a store to buy something and then they come back and he kills him is accurate. ALSO the rasputin part about the poison.
The fight where they have to stay silent is ALSO accurate
@@xphantom2096 well gravilo went to the coffee shop but yes that was slided into the plot nicely. The state of the world powers is very inaccurate/badly potrayed, the stakes are woefully different to what is shown haha think its a fun film and they get alot accurate and alot inaccurate which also adds alot of fun.
@@aaronbethom8166 i agree
A lot of people seem to dislike this movie but I love it. It's just genuine fun and it weaves in the other movies pretty well. I guess if you didn't have any understanding of who the historical figures are it could be confusing and or feel rushed. Admittedly they did use known figures as a crutch to skip out on character development but you only have so much time in a movie. The teaser at the end is nice even if they don't make another movie based on WWII, you can sort of imagine how the movie would be without it existing (but if they do make it then I'm so on board)
Probably not liked because it's so different from the first two
I liked it but not as much as the first 2. Still a great movie nonetheless.
Always turning the tropes on their head
Rhys Ifans' Rasputin looks like Peter Stormare.
Shepherd sounds like David Tennant.
The guy who played Resputon killed it lol so damn funny and odd. Whoever the stunt team fight choreographer was did a hell of a job
Rasputin dance fighting is based on traditional Georgian 🇬🇪 dance. the dance double was actually a Georgian national dancer. if you look up "Georgian dance khanjluri" on CZcams you'll see it. I recommend skipping to the middle to get to more exciting parts. yes those are real daggers
The guy he was fighting by the lift was the Dutch giant, he’s a body builder and is 7ft.1 (2.18m), he’s done quite a few extra roles recently as the huge dude, he’s supposed to be in the borderlands movie too
Depending on what the plot of the Borderlands movie is, I can totally see him as a Bandit leader, maybe Baron Flynt
@@SSD_Penumbra he’s playing Krom apparently
@@nugking2021 I saw that. The Borderlands cast looks great too.
@@SSD_Penumbra besides Kevin Hart being Roland lol I agree
@@nugking2021 They're obviously trying to make Roland more likeable as a character. In the first two games, he's...not the best character-wise.
Fun facts: Rasputin is played by Rhys Ifan who is the Lizard in the Amazing Spiderman films and Archie Reed(the guy Conrad swapped with) is Aaron Taylor Johnson aka MCU Quicksilver
ATJ, He's kick ass
This movie was so much fun and had a lot of heart. I can say it is my favorite of the Kingsman saga
ive been waiting for this reaction since i saw it in cinema and it FINALLY HERE i’m glad it was an incredible movie
Apparently Vaughn's vision is to have several sequels and the 4th film is planned to be released next year
Fun fact the Founding member of Kingsman who is code named Lancelot is Eggsy’s ancestor 😮
Seriously?
"The object of war is not to die for one's country, but to make the enemy die for theirs" is a Patton quote from WWII.
Aaron: I keep hearing Scrooge McDuck
Calvin: Probably is
They are planning on doing a sequel to "The King's Man "and then a third one to finish Eggsy `s storyline..
I love that the music to the Rasputin fight was older but still felt like the fight scenes in the other movies
Regarding the question "where they actually cousins, were that really a thing?". The King of England, Tsar of Russia and Kaiser of Germany were all grandchildren of Queen Victoria of England and yes, they were cousins.
I ended up seeing this movie the same week as the Legends of tomorrow episode about the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, I found it quite amusing at the time 😁
Same with me lol 😂… I was like Legends actual teach some history lol with their shenanigans
This movie was a pleasant surprise and I honestly think I like it more than the first!
I really enjoyed this film but I think the first film was a little better but mainly down to valentine as a villain.
@tarkett85 Samuel L JAckson was so good in the first one lol
Esp the dinner scene,
"I will take the Big. MAC.
@@baseballjustin5 the lisp was perfect choice by him for that character.
I thought it was such a missed opportunity to not have the scottish villian turn out to be a 4th illegitimate cousin, the 'bastard' who was abandoned, yet smarter than his cousins... Out for vengance and his birthright for him and Scotland.
Woulda been a savage lil twist.
I had almost forgotten his actual character, even tho they laid him out as a possible spy etc.
I saw his real life picture and he looks like my dentist
Aaron: "Why like Tigers?"
Poor Melanie. haha
I already liked the movie, but your reaction made me view it as more objectively better, as I realised that the acting, the choreography and the set-pieces/action sequences in particular were all really great. And to me, this movie is like an inverse of the first film, particular with Orlando and Conrad, the father-son roles are swapped with the son dying and the father taking his place (in essence), and even many of the scenes such as the no man's land fight, which in terms of narrative placement mirrors the first film because it directly precedes Conrad's sudden death but it is literally the inverse of the church fight, which was extremely bombastic and loud, mainly due to the music, but the fight in this film is literally in dead silence. Great film, easily better than the Golden Circle.
Since you guys brought up Rasputin's ... johnson, you should know that after spending time on display at the Phallological Museum in Husavik, Iceland, it's now currently on display at the Museum of Erotica in St Petersburg, Russia.
I really enjoyed this movie. A lot more then Golden Circle. A little bit less then the first one
This movie was trash
@@OregonSilverStacker that's your opinion
I loved it when i saw it in cinema
Thought this one was a major step down from 1, and a step down from 2. If this didn't have the Kingsman brand/name behind it I don't think anyone would remember it outside of the Rasputin scenes.
These movies just work better when they’re set in the modern day with the ridiculous Bond-esque gadgets. I didn’t care for the setting, characters or plot in this one. Disappointing prequel.
After 24 years Ralph Fiennes got at last the long deserved "Action Hero" title what he failed to earn because of the failures of 'Strange Days' (a f***ing good movie) and 'Avengers' (a not so one though it has its unique vibe - and cool soundtrack) ✊😎
Loved this reaction. This movie blew me away when I watched it in the cinema. Also lol'ed at you guys mentioning Stanley Tucci when the actor is actually Mark Strong - those two are truly each other's doppelgänger!
They were talking about the end scene where the group gets their code names. Stanley Tucci is Bedevere (at 47:15).
HELL YEAH! I'm super happy you guys finally reacted to this!
I think if you see it as a stand alone it's kinda better than if you see it as a prequel, but conrad's death did have me in tears.
The thing I love the most of the Kingsman universe is the cinematography.
Conrad's death has got to be one of the most unexpected moments I've seen in film for a long time.
So weird seeing Baron Zemo in his element before he joined Hydra.
So underrated movie. Love the cinematography, the history events, characters (especialy Rasputin) and the choreography is so good.
40:00 made me chuckle since the actress who plays Polly was in the Disney Prince of Persia movie.
Gemma is awesome
Check out the Hardcore History podcast series on Ww1 to hear an absolutely horrific description of no man’s land during this time. All of the craters were filled with rain water, that had turned acidic and poisonous from the nerve gas and dead bodies floating in them.
Every Kings Man movie has had a shocking death nobody saw coming and twist.
Glahad, Merlin and now Conrad
This movie was a blessing for a history nerd like me. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand happened almost exactly as it did. Only difference was Gavrilo Princip had accomplices who were the ones to threw the bomb. Franz Ferdinand went to the hospital to visit the injured soldiers on the other car. Gavrilo, failed in his mission, went for a coffee to clear his mind, and it was there Franz Ferdinand's car took a wrong turn and ended up at the cafe, right in front of Gavrilo. Gavrilo took the chance and shot Franz Ferdinand in the head.
In the episode of Legends that Eric and Aaron were talking about, they did show that there were multiple assassins/accomplices
I even search 'how Rasputin died' after watching this movie
And actually this movie kind of nailed it
'Twas good for history nerds. Only real issue was the film ignoring France's existance and portraying that America won the war
This movie is not a blessing for history nerds at all haha the amount of stuff thats wrong or just plain made up is staggering, in the end its just a film and they were clever with the assasination scene to make the plot slide with a real event but most of the rest is ridiculous, fun thou.
@@aaronbethom8166 No one is saying it's an exact recreation of the events. I was saying the fact that they included some tiny historical details makes the movie interesting for a history nerd like me.
I cracked up at that really off the cuff reference to scary movie 2 "Take my strong hand" hilarious
I was convinced the bad guy was Simon Pegg based on the voice until the reveal
THIS MOVIE WAS UNDERRATED AS FUUUUCK I HOPE THEY DO A SEQUEL THAT WAR SCENE WAS GOLDEN
"WHAT A SEQUENCE"
How did I know one of the Blindwave members would mention DC Legends. Lol
Didn't know Tom Hollander played the three cousins lol. I was kinda confused when he kissed Rasputin's hand. I thought "why did King of England meet with Rasputin". Turned out it was the Tsar.
royal families are all intermarried, primarily because as a royal, you want to marry other royals. So, over a long enough time, the royal houses of Europe all get intermarried -- multiple times! it's kind of a weird social constraint, but it's generally true! (especially from before monarchs had a more limited ceremonial roles, but they live a long time "in office" so to speak, so in early 1900s it was way more true than today.)
I’m Lmao 🤣 at the end when Calvin said “You just gotta come out the right vagina” I’m dead 😂😂🤣
Because of the Voice, FOR THE ENTIRE TIME i was convinced its Tennant xD
"Oh"
I honestly was expecting this movie to be as crazy as the first 2. I was not expecting a war movie that was also about a man who lost his son and was fighting for peace.
I was waiting for you to react to this for weeks now. I knew Eric( My spirit animal) was going to react the same way I did for those fight sequences. I hope there is another movie coming.
As long as it took for this to finally hit theaters, this was a great prequel.
Made just right to not be too funny and taken more seriously (considering that era).
Ralph Fiennes has done a movie like this before.
The big-screen, 1998 adaptation of "The Avengers" (spy tv series, not the Marvel property).
It was murdered by critics and suffered at the box office.
But it looked so good and the casting was great.
But other than that.
Matthew Vaughn has a lot on his plate with (hopefully) the next Kingsmen films.
With The Golden Circle & The King's Man each getting sequels, it's gonna be helluva ride.
for me this was the assasins creed movie i always wanted but never got you know. historical setting to behind the scenes groups going at it with wild crazy combat and historical figures so i enjoyed this movie quite a lot
Finally, your reaction! I was looking forward to this! Loved it!
I like this more than the sequel. The fight scenes are more realistic.
My thoughts on the after credit scene reveal was that it’s possibly a setup for a sequel but from an American WWII perspective entering the fray and the rise of the American branch perhaps we will see “The States Man” or something soon🤷🏻♂️ probably way off haha loved it either way what a great franchise ✌🏻
I love that it feels like a completely different movie from the previous 2 films.
28:40 this scene until he gets show really make me surpresed and sad, I really hopped that he was getting away alive....
Stanly tucci isnt in ironman :P the scientists in the cave is played by Shaun Toub.
Also archy is played by aaron taylor johnson known from kickass and also play Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Also the huge giant man who fight son top of the elevator is "the Dutch Giant" he had a small role in Blackwidow. Rasputtin is played by the same actor who player the lizard/ Dr curt conners from The amazing spiderman
This was a great movie. I’m so happy that I made the time to see this movie in the theater. Seeing movies like this with amazing scenes,is so much better on the big screen and it can’t be truly recreated at home for the vast majority of us. I also love supporting the movie industry. If we stop going to the movie theaters we will be complicit in the potential death of amazing movies that will never be made available to us. Have a great day.
I just realised Roxy from Kingsman 1 and 2 was Roxanne MORTON.
I saw this in the theater and had to pull out my phone and find out was that true that the leaders of Russia, England, and Germany during WW1 were related, and holy shit they were, that's insane.
I just remembered that Curt Connors, Quicksilver, Baron Zemo, and Korath the Pursuer are in this movie.
Thoroughly enjoyed that dance-off.
This was probably better than Kingsman 2.
Not probably.
Completely better and much tolerable.
The funny/sad thing is that I only made the connection that Ralph Fiennes was Voldemort at the 1 hour discussion part of the video even after like 3 Eric references 😒
This Lenin pronounces his Rs sooo hard, it's really funny to hear!
This movie feels like 2 different movies to me, doesn't really work going from really camp over the top fun to solemn WW1, but hopefully if they do a 3rd Kingsman or a sequel to this its a lot more tonally consistant
30:09
*A few hours before.*
Commander: All right. You all know your orders. When you see the Germans come over the horizon, you open fire immediately.
Soldier: Okay, when I see Conrad Oxford come over the horizon, I shoot him.
Commander: No, no, no. When you see the enemy come over the horizon, you shoot the enemy.
Soldier: Okay.
Commander: Good, now repeat it back to me.
Soldier: Okay, I shoot Conrad Oxford, then run over the horizon.
Commander: No. He's on our side! You charge the enemy.
Soldier: Right, and shoot Conrad Oxford.
Commander: No, no, no, no!
Soldier: Well, you know what? You're gonna have to explain it to me again, 'cause it sounds to me like I'm repeating back to you exactly what you're telling me, and obviously, you're hearing something different, so just one more time.
Commander: Okay, when you see the Germans come over the horizon, you shoot them.
Soldier: All right, so I shoot Conrad Oxford, and then run when the Germans show up.
Commander: No, you shoot the Germans! Not Conrad Oxford. Got it?
Soldier: Got it.
Commander: You sure?
Soldier: Yep.
Commander: All right.
Soldier: Hey, you know where I can find Conrad Oxford?
Sounds about right lol 😂
Well, tbf, there were a lot of spies... but he should have been a tad more hesitant on the trigger.
This movie went back to what made the original Kingsman so good. I think they learned that they need to keep dead characters dead, and the weight that their deaths bring to those close to them.
Been waiting for this. Rewatched the 2 other reaction earlier this week ❤️
Only the first one earned it.
I did not see that thing that happened coming
48:05 the point
It was a decent enough movie. Slightly under the previous two ones tho.
I am still flabbergasted as a french person that in this 2h10m movie about *the first world war,* the words "France" or "french" were not uttered even a single fckn time.
Like where do y'all think Conrad went dying ?? On a neutral ground that was specifically made for Germany and England to fight ?? Seriously the movie was sooooo english it was hilarious, like they were talking about how "england is doomed" when not a single fckn battle had been carried in england yet (a few bombings, not that they showed it either). It was France (and Germany obviously too) who saw its territories devastated and soldiers killed. England did send a lot of troops obviously, but the fact that in a movie whose one of its themes appear to be denouncing the horror and pointlessness of war to be this partial on which country they want to denounce that pointlessness about.
Even the german soldiers that Conrad kills were humanized and in a way represented, and people were speaking german, but when he arrived in the trenches (which btw etymologically obviously comes from french) everyone spoke perfect british english, like they did not even bothered to throw at least a french accent like they did for the Kaiser and the Tsar...
I think at this point I'd have preferred they talked shite about us rather than straight up erasing us from the entire story.
Anyway apart from that the movie was nice, a lot of people seem to say that Conrad's death was unexpected, but as soon as he managed to go to the frontline I already knew it was over. WWI was just a slaughter, he statistically had no chance to achieve anything, and even less to survive.
The visuals and choregraphy were wonderful, even though the less modern settings didn't allow for as many fun gadget as the other two, you could see the seeds being planted here and there.
I did like that the movie (despite what I criticized above) did not shy away from showing how awful the war was, and how no, it REALLY wasn't an "honor" to fight for your country, and that you were just gonna end up dead and useless.
It did saddened me that the characters weren't that developped tho, I would've love to know more about Shola, Polly, or even Orlando himself.
Never knew Alan Moore was that old that he was around during ww1.
