It would way too positive to say that this sequel is a second rate offering compared to the first. The first Kingsman blended action with good acting, a good script, credible characters and good effects providing an all round enjoyable, if completely unbelievable, movie.

With Golden Circle, for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to adapt the storyline to blend in some Cockney barrow-boy (the word BOY really needs to be emphasised) spiv with a penchant for saying f**k and 'bruv' every 5 minutes as the lead character. A bizarre character who seems to swing from being a switched on savvy, highly trained and educated spy to a 'do ya 'fink I'm 'fick or wot?" playground teen' who'd be more at home playing someone's recalcitrant brat in an episode of East Enders. For what reason exactly? It's not charming, funny or clever and seems to serve no purpose whatsoever. All it serves to do is to make the appearance of the male lead actor in 'juvenile prat' mode something to be dreaded and endured rather than enjoyed. CRAP!
