Moins bien que le « 1 »... mais divertissant quand même
What is the Swedish liquor they're drinking in the beginning? Seems to dark to be Akvavit...
Kingsman: The Golden Circle can't compete with the original, but it still gives us a bold, action-packed and fun spy movie. The visuals are spectacular and so are the performances, with a great cameo from the fabulous Elton John.
The movie that Pedro Pascal's character dies, yes, again.
Not as good as the first one but keeps you entertained...
It's a great movie in my opinion. Matthew Vaughn is really visionary with his fight and action scenes. The moving camera in direction and angle of the motion plus the perfect fluid and discreet cuts which gives the action scenes the appearance of a one take establish a fluid and dynamic picture. This fact and the bright coloring cause a comic asthetic. The action choreos, stunt scenes and gadgets fit perfect in.
I also like the meet of noble british Kingsman and the rooted in the soil american Statesman. I only see the movie in german tongue, so i don't get the different accents. I will watch in OV too because i think the accents could be hilarious.
EDIT: After seeing this a second time it is still a lot of fun with over the top action and humor. Still needs more Channing Tatum and Jeff Bridges.
First off, if you didn't like the first then this one isn't going to win you over. It is the same crazy action with some dirty humor and over the top plot. There aren't many movies that have the same stylized action scenes like Kingsman (even though there wasn't a scene like the church scene from the first). All the cast were great included the great Elton John. Not as great as the first, which I think is one of the best action movies of the last decade, but still a worthy follow up and I can't wait for the sequel.
Now for some spoilers:
I'm sad that they killed Roxy so quickly. If they can bring Harry back I hope they bring her back in the third. I laughed my ass off when I saw that Eggsy was dating the princess who let him do it in the asshole. By the end of the movie he married her and now is a prince, I wonder how that will play into the next. I thought Merlin's death was sad but built up very well and that led into the best scene of the movie. Julianne Moore's villain wasn't as good as Samuel L. Jackson's but I still thought she had some creepy style. Needed more statesman. We got a lot of Pedro Pascal but not enough Jeff Bridges and Channing Tatum, maybe next movie.
Nearly held my attention on a number of occasions.
still good, but without the initial surprise, I think the level goes down a bit. Colin Firth's take it out of his sleeve
Not the same excellence as the first one. Not as funny, not as violent, and the effects seem cheaper.
Does this make Kingsman: The Golden Circle a bad movie?!?
Not really...
Since the comedy is of the same "low" variety as the first one, it has at least some of what the first one had. It might not be on the same level of greatness as the first Kingsman, but it's a fun 2 hours.
If you like this kind of "over-the-top" action and black comedy this might be right down your alley...
Weird story. Reminds me of Bond movies of the 60s. BUT, great acting, great action scenes which means awesome movie.
Minor annoyances where the sentimental nonsense scenes which ended in, oh, yes, you are right, that was stupid. But that was minor.
I enjoyed it...ok for a sequel
Not as good as the first. Did the best I could, given what the first film left. Great action scenes again.
I was really disappointed by this sequel. I enjoyed the first movie as it developed the theme of polishing a diamond in the rough, an unlikely but likeable hero, with wit and clever direction and writing. This second film did the opposite, it celebrated the crass and the writing was bad - there were huge holes in the story lines, and the character arches were undeveloped or fractured by missing/unwritten elements. The heros and villians were silly without comedic intent. The only bright spots were Taron Epstein, Mark Strong and Haille Berry's rapport, and Jeff Bridges. Colin Firth's character was butchered by the writers, Elton John' s part was unnecessary, unexplained and poorly executed, This movie is just BAD, and a waste of time. I give it a 3 (bad) out of 10. [Comedy?, Action, Adventure, Spy}
As good as the first film? No, not really, but then sequels rarely are. It was big and bold, but the story was a little weak. However, the movie is still very entertaining in parts, and while I perhaps wanted a little more plausibility, it may be that I had unrealistic expectations for a film of this sort. Great action, a delicious turn from Julianne Moore, a rocking soundtrack, and a mincing turn from Keith Allen (what, you expected me to say Elton?), made this a film I will go back to. So not as fresh or as funny as the original, but it could have been a lot worse. And remember, before you have a go at me for giving it a lower rating than others, manners maketh the man!
Needed more Channing Tatum. Fine enough, otherwise.
CG was so cheap that I couldn't just stand it. Absolutely not for me, they went too cheap in many places and I had a nice nap during fighting scenes. I mean c'mon this movie could be lot better. Instead of involving USA culture in here they could involve Ireland for example. I hope next movie will be lot better.
I really enjoyed the original Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015). It took itself just seriously enough to poke fun at the spy thriller genre, but with tongue firmly in cheek. Though over-the-top in parts, it never went too far. The story stayed grounded enough to be an effective genre buster. Come for the action, stay for the riffs on James Bond.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle, though… There's a certain irony to this film's "Manners maketh man" scene, considering how poor its characters' manners are. The words "fuck", "shit", and so on absolutely litter the script. Sometimes a single line of dialogue manages to cram in half a dozen. I'm not sure even a single character escaped the "Fuck" train. Pretty much everyone seems to say it at least once.
Honestly, the writing just came across as lazy. That's yet another irony, because I'm sure the writers were working harder than ever trying to repeat the first film's formula and create a worthy sequel. Sadly, they failed. Cursing doesn't make a joke funny—unless it's already funny, then maybe a well-timed "Fuck!" can restart the giggles when they begin to subside.
The film's treatment of its female characters didn't help my opinion, either. Everyone doing anything of the "saving the world" variety was a man. Now, I'm a man too, and one of the things I really appreciated about 2015's Kingsman film was Roxy. I thought having a female spy working alongside Eggsy et al was part of the genre-busting, given that women usually only get "damsel in distress" roles in classic spy flicks. But in this go-around, Roxy isn't part of the picture (she's taken out along with all the other Kingsman agents near the beginning) and I'm afraid Ginger Ale—Halle Berry's real character name *gag*—couldn't make up for that.
All of this—plus the cheap-looking CGI—made for a very long 141 minutes.
Allegedly, the next Kingsman film (due out next year) won't even have Eggsy in it. This film killed off Merlin. I'm not sure what results the producers are expecting by replacing basically the entire core cast, considering what happened after they dumped most of them already for this go-around. I'll probably still watch the next film, but I expect it will be as bad as this one, if not worse.
Not nearly as good as the first one but still entertaining. Maybe a bit too long. Suffers from all the typical sequel problems by trying to outdo its predecessor by overdoing almost everything, by just adding more without adding something new. And Julianne Moore is no SL Jackson. Best thing really was Elton John.
This was the WORST movie I've ever seen, since the last worst movie I've ever seen!! What a waste of time. The first movie was great, but this just blew chunks. Stupid "story" and plenty of bad acting. Dropping the F-bomb every other word doesn't make a movie funny or intelligent it just proves the writers have nothing to say. 0/10
Entertaining and always fun to watch. Not as great as the first one.
"F**k you!" - Quote by Academy Award Wining Elton John
I remembered back on it's release of the first Kingsman and how refreshing it was. Nothing about it broke any ground and isn't flawless, but manages to have a unique quality by taking well known troops in spy movies, and putting it's own spin. The villain was threating, another underdog story and it following old spy tropes. Basically things that could've been bad if put in the wrong hands, turned into a surprise hit.
"The Golden Circle" on the other hand is pretty much the adult version of Spy Kids. It focus more on jokes than brains. It dose what every sequel dose and that's try to be bigger and bolder. To be honest, it doesn't feel like Matthew Vaughn directed this and he normally avoids sequels, I now know why. Despite it not fully living up to the first, I still found enjoyment within the stupidity.
Landing more into the guilty pleasure side of things.
Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, and maybe Elton John were the highlights of the movie. Since Firth is absence for half of the movie, Egerton and Strong fill in that lovable chemistry that was in the first. Giving everything their got. And of course Elton John was great like always.
Colin Firth and the character Harry Hart are what made the first film so great. Not the usual type casting for an actor like Firth and it surprised many of us. As I said before, he's mostly absence for half of the film until he finally comes back when the plot needs him. The whole thing with him being shot in the eye, however in the first movie you can clearly see the bullet going through his head and the idea of a evil twin brother doesn't sound too bad. Anywhere, none of it makes sense, but I'm glad to see him back even if he didn't do much.
The actions scenes are once again top notch, especially the car chase at the beginning and final sentence. A little bit too quick to see things at times and I wish they was some build up behind it.
While not as compelling as Samuel L. Jackson character, but Julianne Moore was pretty decent as the villain. Of course Moore puts it all into everything shes in. Playing the psychotic housewife stuck in the 50's and doing some graphic things to get her way. It's weird there's a point in the film where she completely disappears only to re-appear in the third act, and I forget she was in this at one point.
The same goes with Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, and Jeff Bridges who are barley in the film. I heard there's a longer cut of the movie and I wonder if any of them had extra scenes, because who knows until actually get something. I mean, isn't Vinnie Jones suppose to be in this?
The plot itself when reading it out doesn't sound like a real movie. Some have already said it's self aware and how it's spoofing old spy movie. I can see that, but the movie is becoming the thing it's mocking. Trying to be smart on the political side of things and failing hard. Force humor and call backs for no reason.
But those are the problems I had which is a lot.
Overall Rating: MANNERS MAKETH MAN. OR NOT.
There is a fine line between being stylistically over-the-top and coming off as contrived. This one wandered into the latter territory at times (particularly the Statesmen bits), but on the whole, it was a fun ride.
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" picks up one year after the events of the previous film, with Eggsy (Egerton) now operating as Galahad and living with his Swedish princess Tilde (Hanna Alström). After being ambushed by a Kingsman reject, Eggsy escapes and heads to Sweden to meet Tilde's parents. However, a cybernetic enhancement belonging to the reject has hacked into the Kingsman data vaults, revealing the locations of all operatives, which leads to their destruction by Poppy (Moore), the leader of the mysterious group "The Golden Circle." Eggsy and Merlin (Strong) team up with their US counterparts, the Statesman, to take down the Golden Circle and save the world. The sequel is filled with action and boasts a solid cast, although it doesn't quite match the heights of its predecessor. There's a balance between comedy and drama and the action scenes are impressive, but pacing issues and the underutilization of some characters prevent it from reaching its full potential.
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" comienza un año después de los eventos de la película anterior, con Eggsy (Egerton) ahora operando como Galahad y viviendo con su princesa sueca Tilde (Hanna Alström). Después de ser emboscado por un rechazo de Kingsman, Eggsy escapa y se dirige a Suecia para encontrarse con los padres de Tilde. Sin embargo, una mejora cibernética perteneciente al rechazo ha pirateado las bóvedas de datos de Kingsman, revelando las ubicaciones de todos los operativos, lo que conduce a su destrucción por parte de Poppy (Moore), la líder del misterioso grupo "The Golden Circle". Eggsy y Merlin (Strong) se unen a sus contrapartes estadounidenses, Statesman, para acabar con el Círculo Dorado y salvar el mundo. La secuela está llena de acción y cuenta con un elenco sólido, aunque no alcanza las alturas de su predecesor. Hay un equilibrio entre la comedia y el drama y las escenas de acción son impresionantes, pero los problemas de ritmo y la infrautilización de algunos personajes impiden que alcance todo su potencial.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is not as good as the first one, but that’s not too surprising, sequels rarely are. But it still manages to be a very entertaining movie and a great way to pass an evening.
The cast all did very well in my opinion. Egerton was great as Eggsy and I can say the same as the other actors from the original Kingsman. Loved Colin Firth, even though he had a smaller part this time around. The new entries were good too; I liked Julianne Moore’s villain and Pedro Pascal as Whiskey. The Elton John’s cameo was fun at first, but a tad overdone by the end, I feel like.
The story was not as fun as the first one. Still quite entertaining, but a bit weaker and sillier overall. Thankfully the fight scenes were as good as the ones in the original Kingsman; very well choreographed and extremely fun to watch.
I read some criticism regarding the love story between Eggsy and Princess Tilde, but I have to say that I enjoyed that part of the movie. It was a nice subversion of the classical Bond trope where he gets the girl and then she’s gone the next movie. One thing I didn’t like is how they got rid of Roxy so fast. I wish she had more of a part in this one.
If you enjoyed the first one, I think you’ll like Kingsman: The Golden Circle. It is a “more of the same” but it’s still very well done and fun to watch.
7/10
In my mind the first one was way more serious, this one is way more like a parody. There are androids, people ending up in burgers, an electric lasso, etc. If you expect a interesting twist on spy movies, nah. But as a comedy, it's a big pack of wtf fun, served by excellent actors performances.
Be it Julianne Moore's villain, the short small but great parts of Champ and agent Tequila, of course Colin Firth though he's not the focus, and the extraordinary agent Whiskey, hard to tell who's the most enjoyable to watch. Even the smaller roles are good.
And thankfully so, because sadly the same can't be said about the main protagonist. Taron Egerton's Eggsy is just absolutely unpalatable. I am unable to say if it is due to the performance or the character itself, but this was annoying from start to finish.
Can't say I cared much for the whole Elton John thing either.
Fx are ok, it's a good thing cause they are almost omnipresent. The fight scenes can be fun, but are a bit too extravagant and the execution is not good enough that you don't notice it as a defect.
Story is a bit simple but the whole concept of the twin agency in the US and what it is like and the people there, it's just brilliant, makes for most of the fun of the movie. I'm totally up for a Statesman spin-off.
If it was to be taken a bit more seriously, there are several deeper questions that are brushed over. First we have this secret agency acting on its own, explicitly against the order of the duly elected leader of the country.
Even if the president's decision are immoral, should it be really up to them to decide ?
The president's actions seem to be based on the principle that "if they didn't want to die, the should not have broken the law", sick people even ending up imprisoned. However, even in the US using drugs is not a crime, even though everything around it is. (Actually, wasn't cannabis already legalized in some states at the time the movie was released ?) Doesn't look like there was any trial either, and not sure how they end up being released when the antidote drones arrive.
Not even talking about the people in other countries' laws, some where this would actually legal, and most where nothing is punishable by death.
Seeing past events, the most unbelievable fiction is actually the ending. A president that would kill millions of people for bigoted political interest: sure. But that its party would let him be impeached and it would have actual consequences: what kind of world is that ?
Kingsman: The Golden Circle falls into some of the same traps as 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service, but manages to salvage the story in much the same way as the original.
Picking up the story of british secret agent Galahad, aka Eggsy (Taron Egerton), Golden Circle introduces a number of new characters starting with the new villain/drug lord Poppy (Julianne Moore). After the Kingsman organization is attacked, Eggsy and Merlin (Mark Strong) seek help from a related organization called Statesmen, based in Kentucky. Here they meet American agents Tequila (Channing Tatum), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal), Champagne "Champ" (Jeff Bridges), and Ginger Ale (Halle Berry).
The two agencies combine forces to find and fight against Poppy's evil plan to hold a enormous swath of the human population hostage through the drugs she distributes around the world. As with any good spy flick, there are plenty of misdirections and some double crosses before finally figuring out where all the allegiances lie.
Two things work against this film. First, the lengthy cast list. I already mentioned a number of them above and it feels like some of these roles were put in just for the sake of developing a part for the actors that inhabit them. Don't get me wrong, they are all great in these roles, just not all entirely necessary.
Secondly, it's a bit long for a popcorn flick like this. There are moments when it feels like it's trying to take itself seriously like a Bond film, but then other moments when it knows full well that it's a campy romp. If it was serious throughout, it may have justified the longer run time, but as something fun, it would have worked better by losing 25-30 minutes.
That said, the campiness ends up working in the end. Most of the action scenes are so over the top that you just have to sit back and enjoy the insanity of what's happening on screen. Realizing that these stories are based on comics makes it a little easier to swallow. The action is very reminiscent of comic books and that makes it feel OK in the end.
While Golden Circle is not a great film, it is a fun adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
6 out of 10
Thus movie was an utter can of trash
In my opinion the first one was far superior, this isn’t a bad movie, it’s just ok.
Not as good as the first but entertaining
I actually really enjoyed this movie, when I thought it wouldn't be that good. The dialogue reminds me a little of "attack the block" which makes it all the more funny to see the contrast with the supposedly smooth upper class spies. The americans where a bit overdone but aren't they always...? :) Very funny Cameo from Elton John throughout much much swearing and hilarity. Overall I thought this was a great attempt after the first brilliant film.
Big fan of the first. Sadly this is no match. Too many characters and gross out humour which felt out of place and cheap. Good fight scenes, awful cameos and special effects. Wasted talent.
Awesome, Funny, really good movie.
I'm glad we have Henry back, but come on why will they kill Marlin?? He was such an amazing guy. I'm going to miss him.
Agent Tequila was funny and hot.
Let's hope to see more of these agents.
So much talent going on before as well as behind the camera, it’s just not funny. The editing and direction enhances the action scenes, it’s funny and you won’t be bored for the running time..I do think some scenes play out a bit too convenient at some points but everyone involved delivers an expertly crafted piece of filmmaking, it’s a blast to watch..! Recommended sequel to the already great first film..!
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!
Despite loving the first one, I foundthis installment to be predictable, redundant, and unnecessary. It was so juvenile, a better title would've been "Spy Kid".
As other said, it's not as good as the original, but makes bold moves all its own. Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have Sessions as president instead of Trump? Or Paul Ryan as the kiss-up general, instead of the kiss-up congressman? Now you can find out! With that said, Channing Tatum deserved a bigger role, but boy were Whiskey's fight scenes great. This movie was action-packed, full of permanent consequences, and a somewhat twist ending the president getting impeached for sanctioning millions of deaths, instead of being blindly praised for when the infected people were cured. If you don't want politics, then you might want to be wary of this movie, as the focus is largely on the U.S. executive branch and its response with 'War on drugs'. But, there will be a lot of sad parts, and uplifting parts, and ending is just great for Eggsy!
Expect new gear, new weapons, new agents, and Elton John kicking ass -- and may the 3rd film be just as great.
That's how you do a sequel. All the charm and style of the original, whilst expanding the universe in a meaningful way. I do feel slightly for Taron Egerton, since he is the main character but has third billing.
As for the story. A decent enough plot. First one is was tech based, this one drugs, I guess the third will be more straightforward war based? Not sure what angle they can pull for a villain in the third. My only minor criticism is how easily they discovered Poppy's compound but that's about it. Original villains, great concepts and fantastic visuals make this a memorable adventure.
Unfortunately not quite as good as the first film, but has plenty of fun action. Some characters deserved better, though.
After the huge success of the first movie, I was afraid this would just be a stupid money-grabbing sequel. But it's not. I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend watching it in theaters.
Well It tops the first, strong has whisky, and a strong cast and so better with It's action, humour, gadgets, CGI, and sound track, also a special guest playing himself made the film so much better.
Big. Bold. Loud. Proud. The embodiment of Elton John himself. If there's something Matthew Vaugh is top notch at, it's design. The design was very eye pleasing. Actually, everything on the outside is great, but on the inside, it's riddled with plot holes and cut-off character development. Luckily, the camera work, cgi, stunt work, practicality, and did I say stunt work? Amazed me enough to like this. The jokes were 50/50 funny, and the dialogue did feel slightly choppy. Although the amazing stacked cast did try to blend with it. Compared to the first, it's very different for sure. Almost like butterflies, beautifully and gracefully flying in the wild random wind.
Also, Taron went from playing with Elton to playing Elton in Rocketman. Insane.
I'm not sure where to begin w/ this. This movie was as bad on every level that a movie could be bad. The script, the storyline, the dialogue, the music, the set design, the choreography, and the CGI were all terrible. There were two scenes involving death by meat grinder, and not a single drop of blood was spilled. The entire thing looked like it was CGI, and it wasn't good CGI. The story was inane, cartoonish, and unnecessarily complicated. I have no idea what such a fine cast was doing slumming in this crap. On the other hand, Taron Egerton is not a good actor. He has about a three-inch range, and he should not be helming this, or any, film. All of this was worthy of a four-out-of-10, but what drove it down to a one was the use of "Fox News." Any filmmaker who uses the American Nazi Party's propaganda arm in a film, where they get free advertising, shouldn't be making mainstream films. They should be making neo-Nazi propaganda for the Right.
Pretty obvious what went wrong here; the cartoonish quality of the first film is pushed to such extremes where it becomes really lame. Every action sequence in this is shot like the church scene of the first film, and the end result looks quite artificial and tacky (although they're still really well edited). The writing also got so much dumber; for example the scene that's meant to sell us on the evilness of Julianne Moore's character is ridiculous and stupid. Or take the return of Colin Firth, which is so underwhelming that it tanks the pacing whenever they cut back to his little subplot. The mechanics that are introduced here erase any stakes for the universe and it seems they generally didn't know what to do with the character. The risks it takes instead (the introduction of the statesmen; the 50s Americana aesthetic) are decently executed, but they're not enough to make for an entertaining movie. It's at its best when it's relying on the actors. Bridges, Tatum, Pascal and Moore are all delivering very fun, exaggerated performances, while Edgerton still knows how to portray the duality of Eggsy perfectly (though he's lacking the arc he had during the first movie). It's just a shame that they're not working with great, witty material. For instance, the running gag involving Elton John really overstays its welcome, which wasn't all that funny in the first place. The film isn't devoid of any laughs, but the jokes are often lacking in bite or edge. Moore's villain, despite her best efforts, isn't anywhere as memorable as Sam Jackson in the first film. Visually the movie is slightly above average; composition and lighting have always been among Matthew Vaughn's strengths, which makes it frustrating that the CGI sucks as much as it does. Sometimes it compensates for that with creative touches (lots of interesting scene transitions), but there are still so many bad looking effects shots. Ultimately a very disappointing sequel that lost sight of what made the franchise appealing.
4.5/10
It certainly wasn't as good as the first one but it's alright. I just wish they hadn't killed everyone in order to introduce the new characters
Was the first one this campy and cartoony? Still fun though! Excellent action and over the top stunts. Really, just pure mindless violent madness. And that cameo? chefs kiss
best movie beacuse:
Fun, fun, fun... You don't watch a movie like this expecting it to be serious and/or believable; you watch it to be entertained and that's exactly what it was. They were quite liberal with the F-bomb (or derivatives) and that cheapened the overall experience (for me, at least) but overall it was very entertaining. Someone commented that the appearance of Elton John was unexplained, blah blah blah... A lot of this movie was "unexplained" but ladies and germs, this isn't a movie based on a true story. Sit back and enjoy the show without expecting a lot of "that could actually happen" moments. This movie was FUN and definitely re-watchable. :sunglasses:
More, harder, sharper like in the sequel ... unfortunately nothing else.
Actual Rating 9.5
In my personal opinion this was better than the first installment of this franchise as it had had its chance to find it's footing. The comedy, I felt, was more laid back which made it funnier when the comedic lines hit. The action sequences were great and there was a nice cameo with Elton John here. All round a very enjoyable film.

This.
This movie.
This was super bad, like super
Idiotic, no point, no nothing. Why on earth take a briefcase as a gun and not take an actual gun. Baseball ball for grenade with a bleeping led ? I'm pretty sure that it is addressed to 10 year old that will enjoy pointless gadgets and so so so bad scripting and dialogues. Two and a half hours of this. So many talents , i mean Elton john, to this ? Moore to this ? god, do they actually needed the money ? I'm sure that they have sent emails to IMDB to remove them from the credits of the film.
Don't. Just Don't.
It's a good movie overall but compared to some of the others it didnt really have that education I was expecting.. well not a lot or enough anyways.
oh boy, Elton John is funny !
It's not so great as the first film, but still watchable.
Will be waiting for the third movie of this same title. Awesome night because of this.
awesome movie but the first one is the best one
but still amazing
The first one is so good and creative, but this one is boring and not even fun to watch.
...surprisingly good and entertaining, hope to have another sequel...
Boring, uninteresting, dull, etc. I think the kingsman movies are for 6 years old autists.
country roooaad, take me hooomee
Unlike popular opinions I prefer this to the original :D Its funny and entertaining.
A little long, but a total blast, like the first. Fun, ridiculous comic book/spy action. Feels like a movie version of James Bond Jr. Love the addition of the American characters.
23 jump street is not the same without Jonah Hill
Would give 8, but gains one point for the camera during fights. No other movie was this good this year, at least.
Also no forced gay or racial equity - such a rare thing these days! So you know what? It is a 10.

6 out of 10
Overall I would rate this equally as the first one, just as excellent.
However, this one hasn't the horrible acting of Samuel L. Jackson, which made the first movie extremely hard to watch.
I still don't know if he did that on purpose, as he usually is a great actor.
Anyhow, because of that, this deserves a very worthy 9 out of 10, as it's a genuinely fantastic action-comedy.
A solid sequel, but relied too heavily on references to the first one. (The best reference to the first one was the "backstage pass" line.) Aside from that, too many leaps in logic, and Whiskey's lightsaber lasso was just too bizarre. Otherwise, lots of fun.
Too. Much. CGI. Even worse: Too much bad CGI. Half the movie looked computer animated.
My eyes actually hurt after this movie – I just had to roll my eyes so hard and often because of all the nonsense happening… Just a bad movie with horrible plot similar to the first one…
‘’Manners maketh man’’ that’s all I have to say .
Entertaining, great action scenes and on-point humor. Not as good as the first of course, mainly because Samuel L. Jackson did such a great job as villain and I didn`t commit as much to Poppy, and some scenes were so aburd even for a kingsman movie. All for all, it was worth the watch.
where do you watch? tried to log into android to activate and no place to add code.
Matthew Vaughn continues his satiric spy series with Kingsman: The Golden Circle, a rather formulaic and underwhelming action film. After a devastating attack on the Kingsman headquarters, Eggsy and Merlin head to America to find their sister organization, the Statesman, and seek their help in discovering who was behind the attack. The plot is rather convoluted and stupid. And its attempts to recreate beats from the first film come off as lazy. Julianne Moore makes for a poor villain, and Jeff Bridges, Channing Tatum, and Halle Berry are relegated to glorified cameos. Still, the fight scenes are pretty exciting and the soundtrack adds some fun energy. It’s entertaining and action-packed, but Kingsman: The Golden Circle has its problems and isn’t quite as bold and original as the first film.
I so very dissapointed with this movie :sob: Always the same story, stupid, silly etc. Why Eggy play with vaccine knowing thats only one vail and WHISKY broke it. FukSake :bangbang: Fuck stupid movie :sob: :bangbang:
