Kingsman: The Golden Circle

[Benny]

I think what many people seem to forget from the first film is Eggsy using the line "good girl" when his colleague successfully completes her part of the mission. That casual sexism was more jarring actually.

[CactuarBill]

Apparently according to some, films are never allowed to be politically incorrect anymore.  Just reading that somehow being non PC is a bad thing.  

 

I enjoyed the film but more I think on it, it is trash compared to the first film.  Green screen everywhere which just makes it look cheap and will age badly.  Pacing is the real issue though.  Doesn't flow as well as the first.

Just watched it today, thought the second half was better than the first, but it was a shadow of the first film. The action setpieces were all over the place, most of the new characters were a total miss. It was just a bit... Meh.

[Yobo Ahoy]

I mostly enjoyed it. 'Action comedy' these days means a crappy superhero film with a few wisecracks, or a Feig-'em-up with Melissa McCarthy (I do love Spy, but it's mostly a comedy). This sequel wasn't as good as the original but it still felt fresh and to me the 2'20" flew by. 

 

It's not perfect - the mid-film killing off left a sour taste in the mouth, barely 30 seconds before that I had said to my wife 

Spoiler

"she always gets the shit jobs, they need to do something with her." 

Some of the statesman stuff was a bit skewiff too, probably explained by Tatum's scheduling difficulties but doesn't really help when you are trying to make a coherent film. Lastly, 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' needs to fuck off. That John Denver's full of shit. 

 

Despite all that, the whole thing is just still a lot of fun and I'm sure I'll watch it again.

Thought this was very average. Really struggled to get through it. Totally bored by the action scenes. And the Statesmen didn't get enough screen time.

[Protocol Penguin]

I deem this easily the worst film I saw in the cinema this year. And I watched the latest Transformers film.

[Chadruharazzeb]

I was well disappointed with it. It didn't make much sense, the action scenes were rubbish, the Statesmen contributed absolutely nothing. Meh.

[ravon]

Watched half of it last night utter rubbish

[Chadruharazzeb]

My god man, you liked Freddy Got Fingered.

Forgot about this. Never saw an answer.

[Steve McQueef]

I get confused when I see people calling this shit, when it's exactly the same as the first one.

 

Sure, it's not as fresh, (bringing Firth back left a sour taste in my mouth), but you'd think they'd went and made a sequel under the rules of Dogma 95, to hear some people.
