Kingsman: The Golden Circle

So the Kingsman are back and this time they face a threat that wiped out all their colleagues and are about to wipe out a lot more people.

The movie starts out with a spectacular scene, which seems to be taken right out of a spy comic book. The main protagonist, Eggsy Aka Galahad, is now a full blown spy for the Kingsman after he saved the world.  This however does not last long and that’s where the main storyline kicks off.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a special effects master piece, unfortunately this cuts away some of the character development and storyline. It definitely has scenes that are a million times better than its predecessor, but that is not enough to make up for a flaw-filled film.

The movie once again serenades us with humour that’s made especially for the film, it is not too dark nor too late (it is somewhat in a grey area). The returning cast members are again spectacular in their roles; unfortunately the same can’t be said about the new cast members.

It’s not that the cast sucks, the characters just aren’t memorable enough. The main villain definitely cannot compare to Samuel L. Jackson’s Richmond Valentine in the first film. Luckily the film brings back Colin Firth as the original Galahad, also known as Harry.

The film might be filled with flaws, but it is still a joy to watch. If you are into spy comicbook-based action movies, than this is definitely a must see. Personally I would not mind watching over and over again, until my head explodes. I just love me some spy movies. I rate it 7.2 out of 10.
