Kingsman: The Golden Circle movie review - Aussieboyreviews
DOES KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE RECYCLE THE FUN ACTION?
It’s not recycled, it’s a pretty original sequel with the familiar Kingsman theme. Big fans of The Secret Service will likely enjoy this violent, fun sequel, but it’s definitely not as great as the first film.
Storyline
After the enemies blow up the Kingsman headquarters, the surviving agents band together with their American counterpart to take down a ruthless drug cartel.

Aussie boy's thoughts
The Golden Circle delivers as much fun and anticipation as The Secret Service through its climatic excitement, but the rest usually points at the bland core. The core is sadly just undesirable, which is the weakest part of this sequel’s design. Matthew Vaughn and Jane GoldmanIt unfortunately have no success in creating an immaturely compelling concept, especially after their predecessor ended up being an entirely amusing blast.
The return of the original heroes to face an even bigger situation doesn’t live up to the original wave of diverting storytelling. This time, The Golden Circle takes an unnecessary and overlong 2 hours and 20 minutes to provide the story, but also can’t attach to a familiarly enjoyable pace we encountered and got to experience in the first Kingsman. Julianne Moore’s presentation of a villain is actually just as fun and Samuel L. Jackson’s, but is flattened severely by poor writing. All the characters and absurdity are great throughout this movie.
However, if the opening hour to the tale was just as exciting and fun as the end of the second hour and the entire climax, the Kingsman sequel could’ve and should’ve been a lot more diverting. The climatic tension and excitement is the best and most memorable thing in this movie. There’s too much time wasted on the lead-up to it, but once it arrives, there’s wildly entertaining action, fearless fatalities and solid motion that we should’ve received in the start. In the end, it’s hilarious and worth the watch for fans.
