Review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) by D00Mm4R1N3 — 26 Sep 2017

As a huge fan of the first movie I went into this expecting a lot, sadly I was let down. The movie certainly has that great British humor that intelligent viewers love but the editing and perhaps directing of the film was piss poor.

One can only assume that who ever was in charge had a serious case of ADD. Scenes would just end abruptly and jump somewhere else or casually change locations without rhyme or reason. Evil characters were never fully developed, lacking motivation and severely lacking energy.

For crying out loud, the female lead villain barely leaves the damn kitchen where her only act of villainy is to make a damn sandwich! The whole cast of Statesman are grossly underutilized, and much like the villains never have their backstories developed.

Even with a runtime of over 2 hours the director failed on so many basic levels. I am still giving this what I feel is a reasonable score as I did laugh out loud quite a bit at much of the humor and was happy to see the princess return.

I hope that if a third movie is made they don't try to incorporate so many characters into the film which they have clearly shown they are incapable of handling.
