Review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) by Gábor D — 08 Oct 2018

This movie is sadly a silver copy of the previous one, but it's a really good formula to a good movie, so they succeeded in making a good movie; but this will not be enough next time. Anyway: The movie was very entertaining to watch and even fun. This action packed movie has one of the best - if not THE best - action sequences, I simply love the rare uncut footage, or very rarely cut where most people won't notice, love the performance of the stunt doubles and the actors as well. The action scenes are simply too satisfying. It had a pacing issue but not in the general direction. At the beginning everything happens too fast and without impact, and weight to it. I like the fact that they are not afraid to add realism to the formula by killing off character, but I don't like the fact that they did so without tension and consequence. And they did so to fast. I also think that the actors delivered decently well, on their role, but also it felt like a lot of actors deserved a lot more screen time. Sound effects sounded great, and the music was just right on point but the visual effect where so sloppy in the first part of the movie. I mean if it's CGI at least do it right. I was very disappointed with the CGI. Anyway the plot is pretty simple but can not foresee it, for it is not cliche at all, and it's fresh. The plot twists are warmly welcomed.

Overall it's a very good movie, but it's built on it's predecessor's success, which won't be enough next time. And please give Channing Tatum more screen time.
