With a script totally devoid of any humour or wit, Melissa McCarthy is even more insufferable than usual. Whenever a film with her has been half-decent it's because the rest of the cast cover for her.
Sandra Bullock seems embarrassed to be part of this mess of a film. The chemistry between the two leads is completely missing.
I often wonder where the rave reviews come from. Comedy is subjective and so much of the films seems improvised but not in a good way or it's just terrible acting (probably this). Scenes drag on that should have been truncated minutes ago.
Couldn't finish it. It's that bad.

The problem this film faces is it's going to be compared to the two previous Kingsman films. This film's tone is very different and is its major issue. It lacks the lightness of touch and the subtle comedy of its predecessors and their great action sequences.
It' extremely well made for the most parts, as you'd expect from Matthew Vaughn, but let's forget the Rasputin fight scenes which are just dreadful and totally out of character with the rest of the film.
As a contrast, the WW1 scenes were superbly handled. The film itself seemed better when it was freed from its narrative constraints. I want to avoid spoilers here.
Prequals seldom work well and that's the case here.
Decent but lacking that sparkle that made the previous films so entertaining.

If you're an action film fan watch this. The action is superb and I mean it. Very long sequences done as single shot action and its superb, violent and bonkers at the same time. Some of the camera movements are off the chart.
However, the film is let down by some dodgy acting, a bit of cheap cgi, way overlong in the 'dramatic plot' bits and ,strangely, some dodgy camera work in them.
Shot as a 'one take' movie but the director just gave up in the drama segments not even hiding the 'cuts' and saved his budget for the action. And what action it is!
Grab a beer or two and watch it for the truly sublime and, yes, bonkers action.
I hope action fans discover this and ignore the seriously low rating.
