Did we need a prequel? No? When did that ever stop anyone.
When his wife dies, a dad grows up protecting his son from the world. Where that dad is the Duke of Oxford and the world is heading into 1914 and there's a bad of Evil Bad Guys that want a war. So you know, relatable. And while the war is going to happen (unlike other directors and revisionist history, Matthew Vaughn actually keeps some facts), but there is also a group to fight to allow for the good guys to step in. So yay!
This was long, and it felt it. And there's a whole section in the middle that could have been lifted out. It provided some minor character and plot development, but the size of that piece outstayed its welcome. Aside from a fun whirling dervish sequence, I can't say that the fights were that amazing either (especially when compared to the earlier movies... which I will go back and rewatch soon).
Not a terrible time, but I can't say that you shouldn't wait for the VOD.
