UHD Review The King’s Man UHD Review (1 Viewer)

[Neil Middlemiss]

The King’s Man is an entertaining, flawed film. Despite a strong pedigree in front of and behind the camera, something doesn’t quite connect. Sure, you’ll be entertained by fine performances and an intriguing and surprisingly fact-based story filled with series of historical realities that are given a twist from the plot’s need for darker machinations. I think the issue ultimately comes from the screenplay, which has delightfully scripted lines and characters saying earnest, interesting things, it’s just never able to calibrate for tonal consistency. The tonal shifts aren’t smooth and some moments, while masterfully dramatic, are ill fitting. I’d recommend for fans of the series as there’s too much good here to miss, but casual fans might not be as happy.
