Kingsman: The Golden Circle -Sept. 22, 2017

Halle Berry’s perky haircut makes my knees weak.

But it makes my penis strong

Did you see her in that Catwoman movie?

Reviews are a mixed bag.

Some claim the action and characters are too over the top; some liked the “if it aint broke, dont fix it” nature of the film.

It’s unusual to see a Matthew Vaughn film get bad marks since his last 3 films imo were great.

I’m surprised to see these movies have a following. I saw a first and it wasn’t that entertaining nor funny. I thought for sure it wouldn’t get a sequel.

lmfao. clearly you didnt see how much money it made.

I don’t really care about how much a movie makes in. That doesn’t affect me. I just care if it’s a good movie or not. It wasn’t.

you said you were shocked by it getting a sequal. lol…your personal taste wont have any indication of that. i mean china is exclusively the reason why wow is getting a sequal lmfao

first movie was so sik
sec movie just by the trailer looks even more sik

SIK lol

I mean, overall I just think it’s a fun movie. It’s a campy, over the top, R-rated throwback to old spy flicks with all those goofy/cool gadgets. Ever since Bond went a more gritty direction, there was a lack of campy action/spy films. Kingsman hit that niche and was actually pretty good.

Its enjoyable if you liked the first one. Still over the top and campy.

Spoiler

And any movie that begins with Prince can’t be too bad.

First one was a bit better but this sequel had more fun in it. Hated to see that one I liked died.

This thread is a lot more quiet than I thought.

I just got back from seeing it.

Pros:

Action sequences
Music selection
Most of the new characters especially Tatum as Tequila and Julianne Moore as Poppy
bond between Eggsy and Harry
the more zany tone. where as the first felt like a balance between serious and campy, this one goes into the wacky side more, but not so much that it becomes Batman and robin. It feels like a “good” Roger Moore bond film.

Cons:

I wish there was more interaction between Poppy and the heroes in person. A lot of her scenes are “virtual” or with other villains.

The social commentary was a bit too blunt regarding the drug issue. You could tell this was from the same crew who gave us “mutant and proud”

I wish Tatum’s character had more scenes, especially another action scene.

Loss of a character from the first film that I wished had played a more important role in this one (more of a nitpick specific to me)

The Swedish girlfriend is bland and I’m surprised in a Bond esque film that she makes up a significant part of the story.

Random: There is a music cue directly lifted from X-men : First Class during a climactic moment with Harry. The music is the same when Professor X helps Magnus turn a satellite dish by experiencing a memory of Erik’s mother.

Overall: Not as good as the first, but still a fun film nonetheless

        **  Kingsman TGC   7.5/10**
          Kingsman: secret service   8.5/10

i felt like their was alot of editing going on in this. i enjoyed it…though the social commentary was a bit weird. like i watched a secret DARE psa.

first one felt less on the nose about the issue. this one was hammering it hard…drugs are bad…illegal…and has consequences victims and bystanders. Consumerism is ok in moderation is what i got from the first…second had nothing of the sort.

As a Filipino, I was laughing all the way at how much it seemed that the film was taking a potshot at the dumb idiot we have as a president.

Like our own retarded President.

soooo this movie made basically its whole budget in the first weekend. We def gettin a part 3.
