I’m posting this here because this is main and I need as many people to see how bad this movie is. Not a full review but there are some parts that made me take psychic damage.
Rasputin is tasked by a secret order to get Russia into WW1 then get the tsar to pull them out in order for Germany to destroy England because the main bad guy is Scottish and hate England. Rasputin fails and there is literally this fucking scene with LENIN. [CW Animal Abuse] https://youtu.be/NIYPqBam1-M
Stupid shit continues to happen and the ZIMMERMAN TELEGRAM is a major plot point. And they fucking have it all heroic and good that america can join the war because they managed to find the film a female spy made of her seducing Woodrow Wilson in the Oval Office. “CALL THE GENERALS! WERE GOING TO WAR!”
And then. THEN. THE END CREDITS SCENE. Fucking one of the spy’s who was an advisor to the Kaiser is standing in front of a vault full of gold. Next to him is Lenin. He says that we need a man who will counter Lenin’s power on the left, only on the right to bring a balance to things. THEY FUCKING TEASE ADOLF HITLER. he meets Lenin and they shake hands and say it is an honor to meet. And he calls Lenin comrade.

I mean come on. This is absolutely ridiculous
Tried to watch it yesterday, not knowing what I was in for. Had to turn it off halfway through. It's mind-numbingly dumb, flat-out unashamed propaganda.
Fuck Matthew Vaughn and the clowns responsible or this abomination. Like Starship Troopers, but played straight.
I couldn't get past the tall mountain bad guy lair. It was too cartoonish and over-the-top compared to the rest of the film up to that point. I just gave up and turned it off.
Apparently the movie is getting rave reviews for an inordinate amount of time given to sartorial concerns like men's suits though.
It's Avengers-brain. I 100% guarantee that they brought up the MCU in the writers room and said "let's do that but with historical figures. People love extended universes right?" Of course it's going to be Russia, Germany, etc for a good WWII wank-off for America and the UK. Then they'll bring in North Korea in the third movie. They might even have the gall to do Iraq and Iran.
It’s such a bad movie. It makes no sense and just what they do with history is an abomination
yea I made the mistake of watching a clip of that post-credits scene and now I can no longer do math
love too push aristocracy as the savior of the world
love too push aristocracy as the savior of the world
This is the core message of Marvel movies since Iron Man one.
Oh god the actual scenes are even worse than I imagines. This is cursed.
Even reading your comment didn't prepare me enough for how awful those scenes were.
you left out the best part:
I think it is time that this country keeps a close tab on Russia because we do not want to start World War 3 and they almost did that to us during the Cuban Missile Crisis
"We must keep an eye on the shrewd asiatics"
I forgot that scene. Lmao like what the fuck. Didn’t even show them getting blown away :cantfindemojiofthewall:
Edit :owned:
:rage-cry: red fash red fash i hear them all screaming as the post credits drops
The only part of that movie that didn't suck was Rasputin dance fighting.
I don't get it. So all of history has been a kayfabe Illuminati plot or something?
Well the alternative is acknowledging history has been driven by class struggle, a la Marx, so that can't be it!
