So I recently watched Kingsman: The Golden Circle and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
With their headquarters destroyed and the world held hostage, members of Kingsman find new allies when they discover a spy organization in the United States known as Statesman. In an adventure that tests their strength and wits, the elite secret agents from both sides of the pond band together to battle a ruthless enemy (played by Julianne Moore) and save the day, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton).
This is one of the more disappointing films of the year. The first Kingsman film came out of nowhere and became a smash hit that not only had some great action but great comedy as well and it even took a jab at the spy film genre which was so refreshing to see. In this film it basically takes the same premise and tries to reinvent the wheel and it just does not work. Both Taron Egerton and Mark Strong are front and center for the majority of the film and when they are screen together they have great chemistry and it shows especially in the more emotional scenes, but the film only has that to go on and it just doesn't do much for the overall film. Also when you have a film that includes Jeff Bridges and Channing Tatum, you try not to waste their time and characters and that's basically what happens and it would be shocking to know that combined they had more than 15 minutes of screen time. What the film was missing the most was Samuel L. Jackson who just brought a different type of villain we are seeing and while Julianne Moore is ok in the film , her motives really aren't clear and she has a lot of awkward scenes in the film that are cringe-worthy as can be. Another bothersome thing twas that there was no church type scene in this film, meaning that we don't get that over the top gory scene from the first film in this film and towards the end it tries one, but the things they pull off don't make it seem like this film should be rated R and it instead should've been PG-13. A lot of the action feels forced and so does the comedy and it just comes off as film that didn't try in the least little bit. Overall this film could've been so much better in a lot of ways, but it just took the same premise and made a much more serious film when it didn't need to be. I give Kingsman: The Golden Circle a 5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
