So I didn't like the portrayal of the U.S. President, but that was kind of the purpose. Other than that, I thought this was a worthy sequel to an already great movie, even if it doesn't hit the hype. The first movie was unexpectedly good and I think that's why people expected a lot from this. It's not a bad sequel. I found it to be just as funny and as entertaining. You should like this if you enjoyed the first movie.

The 1st film managed to somehow be both a parody of Bond films & yet a highly entertaining, exciting Bond film of its own. It also praised some traditionally western ideas about social mores which is cathartic nowadays. There's no real parody this time since it attempts to to mimic the original with minor variations (instead of an unlikely tech-geek villain we get an unlikely 50's mom villain) but it isn't cathartic. Since the jokes didn't land (for me) it just seems silly & forgettable.

There were two other people in the theater, one on his phone the entire film and one an old man who would make strange guttural moans every couple couple minutes and who, when a female character took her robe off, screamed "yeah baby, wooh"

Knowing nothing about the comics, the Kingsman movies bear a striking resemblance to what the kookiness of Austin Powers would look like if it weren't a parody, and that's a very strange world indeed. This one might be a touch more ridiculous than the first, but that's par for the course and no less entertaining as a result. Check it out, it's a good time.

I think it's undeniable that this is in most ways a step down from SS, but I can't pretend that I'm deeply disappointed by that. I still had a really good time with the story, characters, and action. Julianne Moore, if anything, only gets more attractive, and plays crazy here well. Vaughn is still mostly on-point, and despite lacking the one statement scene (ie. the church in Kingsman 1), from top to bottom, this remains a really good movie with lots of places to go from here for the franchise.

*RR* Lightning in a bottle is something that few manage to capture even once. Matthew Vaughn was one of those lucky few, shocking everyone with his elaborate, outlandish, and deeply funny spy subversion, "Kingsman: The Secret Service". But the problem with surprising an audience is that it's very hard to do twice, and "The Golden Circle" is none of the things the first was. In fact, it's a tired pastiche of them. Far from the worst sequel of the year, but perhaps the most disappointing.

I enjoy this one a whole lot more than the critical consensus. Admittedly I'm a huge classic James Bond fanboy so I'm very willing to overlook some of the film's more obvious flaws - lazily reviving a dead character from the last film, some Spider-Man 3-esque subplot fever - for the simple and nostalgic pleasure of good old colorful globetrotting save-the-world spy adventure in the classic Connery/Moore vein.

It's sure run with the quirkier moments of the first film and then some. Another crazy outing with a farfetched plot and odd comedic moments, but this one pushes buttons a little more with how much you can tolerate some of the more crude and smutty scenes. While I feel this could have been reined in a tad and trimmed a little in length, I did laugh quite a bit and it's all just a bit of silly fun really.

Kinda like the Bond movie they emulates, there is a certain cynicism at the "heart" of these films, but there is also some high-browed as well as some extremely low-browed fun to be had along the way.

Maybe the worst movie I've seen in theaters this year. The first one was a nice surprise - an arcade version of James Bond, with humor, (obvious) satire, and a semblance of self-awareness. The sequel : diet Kingsman. There's three narrative strands and none of them belong. The sense of disbelief from the first is totally gone as the film departs into its own painfully convoluted reality. The villain gets out of her chair maybe twice the whole movie. Awful, even by Hollywood blockbuster standards

This is a decent, if derivative sequel & I had fun with it. The action scenes were truly awesome and entertaining, even if I don't always like the editing and digital trickery. Firth returning is incredibly contrived, and I didn't even think we needed him. Moore makes a brilliant villain. Elton John really cannot act, but I did find him quite fun. The representations and take-downs of certain aspects of American culture were great, too.

The first Kingsman film offered a refreshing novelty to the spy genre that it's sequel unsurprising could not surpass. With the Golden Circle, you get more action, more explosions and more clichés. Superficially, this sequel criticises the War on Drugs, where the first dealt with Climate Change. But where the first had themes of succeeding through prejudice, this sequel just feels shallow. The film is entertaining, a little CGI heavy, but not memorable enough.

Despite adjusted expectations, Golden Circle proved a big disappointment and a really poor follow up to the original 'Secret Service'. They bring back Firth but gimp his character for most of the film, and similarly introduce a promising supporting character (Tatum) before immediately sidelining him. Why not just leave both out and shorten the overly lengthy run time? There are some good ideas here but the final cocktail produced by Golden Circle is very flat.

First one was a surprise for all of us. It was a very well-done James Bond parody with a great satirical humor. Golden Circle becomes, however, its own parody. It does everything they were mocking in the first movie and none of the jokes seem to be funny. It's not incredibly bad. With any other director, I wouldn't even care but I'm just disappointed in Matthew Vaughn.

None of its elements really impress this time around; the kinetic camerawork during fight scenes is never jaw-dropping, the villain is never particularly juicy (though props for the explicit decriminalization message), and the fun English gentlemen schtick is awkwardly diluted by the ineffective American "parallel".

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a fun sequel to a great movie, but that's about as much praise as can be thrown its way. It's fun. It's completely unnecessary, sometimes feels like it's just acting as a repeat of its predecessor, It's got good enough action, funny enough jokes, and interesting enough characters to hold our interest, but it's not as good. The only standout aspect is Julianne Moore, whose villain turn is so good that it's almost hard to hate her. It's fun, but little

Expectations might have been low but I enjoyed this one for what it was. Much of the same from the first one and seeing a pretty amazing cast ham it up is pretty fun. Obviously, take this one with a grain of salt, and if you enjoyed the first one, you'll like this one too. If you're new to the franchise, probably best not to jump right in though because the quirks are not for everyone.

It doesn't have that one church moment, but the beginning comes close; I LOVED this in the first 20 minutes because they were like, "Oh you love action, let's get to it boys." It just didn't maintain that momentum; it overplayed Elton John (but some lines were funny), the action wasn't quite as exciting, Tatum was underused. But it did have some emotional oomph and Julianne Moore was awesome. I agree it's a step down and doesn't feel as special, still great, just a little disappointing.

This ratchets up everything I disliked about the first film to 11. The action is shaky cam CGI bullshit, the story is like something from a bad episode of the '60s Batman series. The only thing that makes this even remotely entertaining is Colin Firth. Seeing Elton John in this almost made me hate Elton John's music. This wasn't a huge disappointment but it was still disappointing.

The Golden Circle is more of the same for Kingsman fans; frantically over the top, completely ridiculous but outlandishly fun. Just like it's predocessor this sequel is tonally all over the place with it's cartoonish story telling and action scenes tailor made for younger audiences but a ridiculously long run time, excessive bad language and vulgar comedy that leaves a nasty taste. The returning cast and new additions are a fun bunch though and the set pieces certainly entertain throughout.

A fun sequel. I like what they did with the American version of Kingsman even if it was too Western focused. Action scenes use speed ramping well to show cool shit instead of trying to make things like basic punches and kicks look more badass. It's over the top and quite stylized but it's what I would want out of a graphic novel movie.

While keeping the style of the first Kingsman, The Golden Circle doesn't try to outmatch the prequel. Instead it delivers a solid sequel that expands the world of Kingsman and introduces cool new characters. While it neither has anything like the church or the exploding heads sequences of The Secret Service, there is much fun to be had here.

Lacked most charm of 1st pic (Intro to world = much of fun & now done) Despite adding my favs (Bridges Moore Pascal) = far lesser pic. Princess = BAD. Even BITS of wooden acting from Strong & Firth: tragic! Not totally joyless & by 2nd half it found flow or I eased in. Acceptable return 2 world & SOME good moments. If U loved 1st see but lost much.

A common problem with sequels to successful comedies is the need to increase the pace, and it happens here to a degree where the film starts to get annoying. I also dislike this movies handling of deaths as something frivolous. It was obviously the right thing to reintroduce Firth, but it is problematic to remove the consequence of dying, while asking the audience to care for all other characters that dies. That being, said there is still a lot of fun to be had here.

They didn't dose it well; the cheekiness, action and the story does not mesh as well as the first one (the first one was not that great either). But this one is really overcooked; chewy and burnt here and there. It has lots of forced action sequences, and even though they tried some innovative things with such scenes, it feels more like watching CGI figure skating. I will pass on the third movie I think.

Weak sequel feels as if it could have stood one more pass through the editing machine - at almost 2.5 hours, this should have been much brisker; a tendancy to underline and over-explain gags ad nauseum kills most of the humour (an opening cannibalism gag is the nadir of this tendency). An eclectic cast is given little to do; even Elton's much ballyhooed cameo is a one-note waste of time (apparently he has a habit of telling everyone to 'fuck off'). Some amusing moments keep it barely watchable.

A mixture of mostly good and some bad, the film for the most part plays out like a standard blockbuster, but stands out because of its joyful charm that makes it easy to enjoy, particularly the opening and ending fight scenes that showcase the best of modern day movie entertainment. On the other hand, it also has one of the most misjudged CGI-inside-vagina shots since The Matrix Reloaded, and all the scenes with the US President are stupidly overboard and his plan makes less than zero sense.

Not on the first movie's level in most aspects. Bringing back Colin Firth was a really weird choice. I liked the idea of the "Statesman" organization, but thought it was a little under-explored. The villain was a little less memorable, and a big negative was that large chunks of her secret hideout were glaringly built out of CGI. It's decent, but I think the franchise has more potential than this entry realizes.

A movie obsessed with saying fuck and with Elton John. There is probably a thesis to be written about Elton's presence in this movie - equal measure high-camp and contempt - that explains the vast difference between this and the original film. What was once comic is now callous. The fingerblast tracking device is the only thing that came close to topping the original in sheer WTF absurdity that forces you to laugh at what you just saw. The rest tries (too hard) to force you to laugh.

A fun movie, but it lacks the charm and soul of the original that made it a memorable action film. The set pieces are blah, but the direction really helps them excel.

Luckily Julianne Moore is a great, sick villian

embracing the absurd is great for the narrative; in some parts it becomes excessive.

The second KINGSMAN film exhibits all the best and worst indulgences of big-budget sequels. It's still a kinetic riff on a more indulgent era of spy flicks and explores more of the genre's moral failings. However, it's lost a significant chunk of its devilish charm, and the tone comes across as much more strident. The conflict, while featuring a weird and charismatic villain, is ultimately a jumbled misfire, while the inclusion of American counterparts gives the film a license to pander.
