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.

    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.
