Review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) by Dvbizzle — 25 Sep 2017

This movie is a fun film to just sit back and turn your brain off and enjoy.

I personally am a big fan of the original Kingsmen movie, this film however does not improve or expand much upon the original , the story is very straight forward and cookie cutter; however it does have a twist I personally did not see coming with Whiskey working against the kingsmen.

The film has a fair amount of star talent in it with: julianne moore, pedro pascal, halle berry, channing tatum, colin firth, mark strong and obviously the movies main man Taron Egerton. I believe some of these big names were not used as they should have as Channing tatum is in the film for all of 20 minutes. as well as Mark Strong being one of the main characters when he finally gets his out in the field start he is immediately ruined with a him going out with a bang.

It has a fair amount of comedy but also a lot of not so funny moments as the movie tries to use a semi serious topic as the main focus of the story arc, this paired with the cringe worthy and very awkward glastonbury festival scene makes for some not so funny moments.

As with the first film it has very well performed stunt and fight scenes and has a few moments which are nods to the original film.

With this all said the film is good but not great and could have done with some more character development and a more expanded story.
