This franchise has a somewhat oscillating tone to it.
The first one was wonderfully reactionary, the second was suffused with an action comic book aesthetic that I’m still not sure that I entirely groove to, and THE KING’S MAN? I dunno. It’s got Rasputin as a villain, as well as the obligatory Shadowy War Profiteers that supposedly started World War I*. Your guess is as good as mine.

*Despite the fact that World War I can more easily be explained as a failure for everybody in Europe to understand that the introduction of barbed wire and automatic weapons onto the battlefield would completely upend their tactical and strategic planning. But what do I know? I’m just this guy on a blog.
