American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
两个小时太漫长了，前面半个小时铺垫，还以为主角是他儿子。然后再花半个多小时讲杀主教，这个电影系列是有魔法的，主教又亲又摸（就不能尺度再大点！）大腿就能治好瘸腿。最后半个多小时讲儿子不听话参战被自己人杀死，主角自我救赎和拯救世界。反派集体降智，故事冗长（胡编乱造），主角演技时好时坏。西方意识形态潜移默化，“一战是因为美国参战才结束的”。把社会主义的列宁与希特勒写到同一个阵营，就不知道俄罗斯有没有引进这片了。
散了吧，第一部的红利吃完了。从第一部惊艳的商业制作沦为导演的疯狂意淫，导演才是 King，都是你的男人！
全片华彩在俄罗斯妖僧的芭蕾武上。另外叛逆期儿子战场上那一段设计的也很有想法，把战争的盲目和荒诞表现的不错。
套用开花名句，“戏说不是胡说，改编不能乱编！”
三强王男，强行幽默强行卖腐强行架空历史，瞎闹
死亡重金属和尚跪舔亚瑟王大腿双方意乱情迷无法自拔，I’m like is this ManAtPlay or what…
不是啊，首赞就觉得性暗示那段不舒服。但在我这里那段humble monk才是高光。另外就是好大儿从军的理想主义幻灭，虽然唏嘘，但总觉得需要尊重。世界需要这样的热血方刚。
把仪式感拍的这么糟糕，帅哥也难看起来，这个起源没有必要；
也没说的那么差，主要是完全没有继承这个系列的优点，戏说历史这块也没啥亮点，就显得特别平庸。
荒谬程度跟《寻秦记》有一拼，不是我不接受戏说改编，但这种将全部重大历史事件归结于主角行为的写法实在偷懒至极，堪称编剧之耻。
情节很无聊，还让我猜错了主角，片子感官优雅俏皮~~
2.2/这历史给我看懵了，真的我虽然历史不好，但也不至于…总之就是 不好看 和前面的比起来逊色太多了
这确定是源起？这不还是老将出马吗？把一个不是男主的男主折腾了一个半小时，然后一枪毙命。也是很尴尬了。
【YVR-Scotia】两星半。第一幕和战场部分明显和其余部分不搭，动作设计拖沓，反派形象刻板无趣（漫画也这样？），笑点尴尬，大boss太好猜。不过看到费因斯如此卖力，也是辛苦了。
最后还绅士比剑决斗。笑死。
太尼玛烂了 看这一场翻的白眼比去年一年的商业片都多 腐国屈辱史 中青两代色诱疯批老毛子 女特务色诱美国总统 就问还有王法嘛 导演真够狠的 为了满足观众潮点 有主角光环的都能给写死 让俩老人肉搏 懂不懂什么叫尊老爱幼 一会儿喜剧人 一会儿1917 割裂感极强 调性都不一致 玩大杂烩但本子离谱就是这个后果 最后只有自己嗨 观众尬穿地心 求好好研究讲故事 少耍花招吧/求别再让乔治麦凯脸小生演大英小兵了 审美疲劳
咦我觉得还挺好看的哈哈哈哈哈，选角太有趣了。
剧本扎实，镜头凌厉，配乐爆爽。
拉进度条单看动作场面还是很精彩的！不愧是拍出过海扁王和Kingsman前两部的Matthew Vaughn。真的，要不是这些一如既往脑洞大开爽到飞起的动作场面，我都想打一星。剧本比上一部更糟糕，从一开头就摆烂，后面就全靠一贯的黄爆笑料和突然死亡撑场面。要不导演以后就去奈飞拍那种中低成本复仇动作片吧，也别费那个劲琢磨剧本了，干脆专心研究动作戏，不然再拍砸个两部大制作以后彻底退圈了实在太可惜……
也没那么差，就是还是那些套路而已，这个系列没有必要再拍下去了。
