Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as cheeky, cartoonish, and crazy as its predecessor, but it’s also commendably unafraid to demolish what had come before it if it’s in service of the story. The new dynamic between Eggsy and his team is great, and the Statesman prove amusing counterparts to these gentlemen spies from across the pond. Read full review

Like its predecessor, everything about the stylized Kingsman: The Golden Circle teeters just a little over the top: the elegant international production values, the perfectly tailored Savile Row attire, the hyperviolent action sequences, the depiction of something more than just an innocent hint of sex.

There’s fun to be had but it’s not consistent and at times it’s disappointing how certain scenes play out. Read full review

Dumber and less stylish than its predecessor, Kingsman: The Secret Service, the cartoonish secret-agent pastiche Kingsman: The Golden Circle is also even more of an incoherent right-wing text, an exaggeration of the James Bond movies’ violence, fashion sense, and sex that keeps trying to pass off its ham-fisted conservative attitudes as smirking nihilism.

If the first Kingsman, at its best, felt like a dry martini of a joke, then this one is more Jack and Mountain Dew — unsubtle, unrefreshing, and unnecessary. Read full review

Tim Grierson

As kinetic as its predecessor — and just as belaboured — Kingsman: The Golden Circle serves up another batch of hyper-stylised action, irreverent humour and sharp threads, resulting in a film that’s not nearly as cool as it thinks it is. Read full review

It’s violence for cowardly voyeurs who want to make the people who annoy them just shut up in a way that’s silent, sterile, and thoroughly humiliating to the victim. Read full review

Really do not understand the hate for this one. I loved the first Kingsman, and this is a worthy, funny, and incredibly fun follow-up, even if it's not quite as tight as it's predecessor. The new characters are awesome, the returning ones are still cool as well, the action is amazing, andReally do not understand the hate for this one.

I had a blast with this film. It may come across with a lot more cheese than the first film but Kingsman the Golden Circle comes at you with so much fun while still keeping the story solid. A-

The Golden Circle doesn't quite live up to the thrill of its predecessor, but is still an original, quirky and entertaining ride nonetheless. With the film is dragged down by its mediocre middle act, its strength certainly lies in an action packed conclusion.

Great action scenes and fast pacing that will give anybody a fun time. It is not better and not worse than the first installement. Take by that what you want. The cast is good and tehre are a few references to the upcoming biggest social change we are already witnessing: veganism. ExtraGreat action scenes and fast pacing that will give anybody a fun time.

The cast is good and tehre are a few references to the upcoming biggest social change we are already witnessing: veganism. Extra points from me for that. There are a few moments made in too much of a bad taste in my opinion. But taht aside everything and everyone is nice to look at, and like I said, the action and visuals are amazing.… Expand

The first Kingsman was a surprisingly fun movie that is highly enjoyable and entertaining. Kingsman two on the other hand is nothing like that. Similar to the first but ramped up to unbearable levels of stupid. The opening scene sets the bar for the rest of the film. I never knew you couldThe first Kingsman was a surprisingly fun movie that is highly enjoyable and entertaining. Kingsman two on the other hand is nothing like that. Similar to the first but ramped up to unbearable levels of stupid. The opening scene sets the bar for the rest of the film. I never knew you could fit that much CGI into one fight scene but wow you sure showed me. So were the stuntmen busy that day or what?
Taron Egerton is back, doing the usual. Colin Firth is back (although he shouldn’t be for obvious reasons). Enter a new villain in the form of Julianne Moore doing her super smiley bad guy routine whilst wearing a pretty dress, apron and grinding people into burgers. Also enter the Statesmen. They’re like the Kingsmen minus the suits and permanently drunk. At least I hope they were drunk because I barely understood a word that came out of Channing Tatum’s mouth. In his first scene he swaggered in which resulted in an audible “whoo” from the two young ones in the row behind me. So while they were “whooing” I was wishing for subtitles.
Take all the bad from every single James Bond movie, throw in some celebrity cameos, an unacceptable amount of robots and the word bruv every now and again and you have Kingsman The Golden Circle. It’s not totally without its moments, not every over the top fight scene is boring that’s for sure. Pedro Pascal slicing and dicing anyone he encounters using his electric lasso is not something you see every day. If you manage to ignore the storyline you might start to enjoy parts, particularly towards the later half of the film but honestly for me there was simply too much Elton John and robot dogs. Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d say.
No excitement, no danger, and without that it’s boring. The charm of the first one is long gone. I understand this is not a movie one should take too seriously but it’s insulting how mediocre and stupid it is. The first Kingsman set the standard and this sequel falls far below it. Disappointing and not recommended.… Expand

Le premier était déjà bien médiocre et sujet à caution mais cette "suite" se casse la gueule dans les tréfonds de la mongolerie et du grand n'importe quoi... Des robots-chiens, un taxi lance-roquettes amphibie, un bras de terminator, un hamburger à l'homme de main, des missiles et tuttiLe premier était déjà bien médiocre et sujet à caution mais cette "suite" se casse la gueule dans les tréfonds de la mongolerie et du grand n'importe quoi... Des robots-chiens, un taxi lance-roquettes amphibie, un bras de terminator, un hamburger à l'homme de main, des missiles et tutti quanti... n'en jetez plus, le summum de la connerie a été atteint !

L'humour kikoolol omniprésent vise à n'en pas douter les ados alcoolisés (pléonasme) qui ont fumé toute l'herbe du jardin d'enfants, rendant caduque le mauvais goût accumulé pendant toute la carrière des tarantineries de Tarantino, battu ici à plate couture. Il faut dire que les effets spéciaux, c'est le chemin de la facilité puisqu'on peut tout se permettre, y compris les élucubrations de scénaristes défoncés à l'aide de produits très stupéfiants... pour produire de tels sous-produits pas culturels du tout.

On a donc là un infâme tas de merde, un gigantesque tas de merde mongoloïde et prétentieux, du genre qui rit de ses propres blagues et de son humour de fond de poubelle high-tech. Affligeant de débilité !… Expand
