THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Kingsman: The Secret Service was an enjoyable feast filled with entertaining violence and very English manners to top it off, making the film memorable and dosing audience with the words that a sequel should be made. Three years after the film was delivered, director Matthew Vaughn is back with the sequel titled Kingsman: The Golden Circle which had created some hypes back two years ago when it was announced a sequel was to be made and there would be an introduction to the American counterpart.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle has proven that the gentlemanly spies are up their game and together with the counterpart known as Statesman, the team will stop at nothing but to end Poppy’s reign of selling drugs which would leave the effects that the last villain, Valentine had on the people around the globe. However, while the film sequel delivered the same kind of thrilled violence delights, it somehow seemed to fall flat at some point.
The story was an echo and a shout out to the previous film, offering the familiar desserts which may seem like a repeated story being told for bedtime. The boasting of few sort after actors like Channing Tatum may seem to cheat several fans out there who may think they have load amounts of kick-ass, only to find themselves seeing them goofing around and playing such small roles. Julianne Moore as Poppy seem rather irrational and in my opinion, does seem to lose out to the previous villain’s aura. She wasn’t a strong villain for the Kingsman to knock out, though the way she somehow kidnapped Elton John was not a bad idea.
Putting aside the similar story and a weak villain, I was still impressed several things in the sequel which have always been my favourite from the previous film. Firstly, I am glad to see Harry Hart (played by Colin Firth) being alive and the scene which had him gone through several shocks before realising who he really was, is amazing. The work done by the visual effects team was indeed brilliant as shown in the scene where younger Harry Hart was being tested to shoot the dog. Secondly, the fight scenes at the beginning and the ending were my favourite, being that the chemistry between Harry and Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton) was the main dish I was waiting for; fighting side by side and showing what Kingsman is really and totally excellent at. Lastly, Elton John’s appearance was funnier than what I expected it to be.
In conclusion, Kingsman: The Golden Circle brought the audience some familiar actions that we have seen the previous film, however that does not stop the delightful violence and new wacky ways to be a spy. Although the Golden Circle seems to be a foolish and utterly silly organisation, nevertheless this sequel still proves that no matter what counterpart or resources, Kingsman is still at its tip top condition and yet better than ever.
Ratings: 7/10
