It’s not gross-out comedy, but some of it isn’t too far away. I described Kingsman:The Secret Service as a ‘Young Adult’ movie and the comedy in Kingsman: The Golden Circle isn’t much different. Worst of all, we have Sir Elton John, not in a brief cameo (THAT, I might have forgiven), but in several supposedly funny scenes so utterly diabolical that they simply have to be seen to be believed. Kingsman’s humour though is a different sort, and doesn’t work as well for me. Why bother?Īnd what was the point of Halle Berry as wannabe Statesman Ginger? She is given absolutely nothing of interest to do throughout the entire film. From badass to befuddled butterfly collector. When an attack on the Kingsman headquarters takes place and a new villain rises, Eggsy and Merlin are forced to. Superb actress, but totally miscast as the film's villain, drug baron Poppy.īringing back Colin Firth as a confused lepidopterist was a really bad move. The first film possessed a wholly British charm this one doesn't, and suffers greatly for it. The film panders to the American market by introducing the US equivalent of The Kingsman, Southern secret agents The Statesman.

From the opening car chase, to the ridiculous robot dogs, to the stupid cable car scene, The Golden Circle suffers from far too much unconvincing digital trickery. For his sequel, director Matthew Vaughn attempts to give us more of the same, only bigger and louder, but fails on almost every level. The original Kingsman movie was a finely tuned comic-book adventure that presented OTT violence and astonishing action set pieces galore, all with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour.
