Let me start off by saying that the second installment of Kingsman had a lot to live up to, I mean how could anyone possibly top Colin Firth & the church massacre or literally any other scene in the original film?!? To tell you the truth I had extremely high expectations for this movie, and all in all Kingsman delivered. Granted we didn’t get Samuel L. Jackson’s diabolical charm back, but what we did get was an epic follow up with more characters and even crazier shenanigans. With the likes of Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Karl Urban, Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, and even Sir Elton John rounding out the cast, it was inevitable that some serious shit would be going down. AKA the end of the world… again. And frankly, as tired as I am with “end of days” movies, this one did not disappoint. The worldwide drug “plague” delivered in full with a fresh take on an overused idea. What’s scary is how easily it could actually become our reality, but that’s besides the point. Kingsman: The Golden Circle gave us a lot to love, with everything from classically named robotic dogs, to a creepy villain wrapped up in 50’s niceties, to old-fashioned diners in the middle of the jungle, insane car chases, bad-mannered princesses, and to top it all off the return of a certain arsehole who kinda reminds me of Deadpool’s Francis. For realsies though, why is everyone suddenly attracted to murderous villains with British accents? Here’s looking at you Tom Hiddleston. In all actuality, I would have been happy to just watch 2 hours of Eggsy, Galahad, and Merlin dancing around the Kingsman mansion in their dress shirts and underwear channeling Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Now that would have been amazing. But all casting choices and action sequences aside, this movie should definitely be considered a must-see on another long list of summer blockbusters.
So, cheers to our new favorite superspies parading around as well-dressed British aristocrats!
