Picking up from the first story, "Eggsy" (Taron Egerton) is now working for a new team of agents led by Sir Michael Gambon ("Arthur") and living, happily, with "Princess Tilde" (Hanna Alström). A cab journey one night, though, reintroduces him to his fellow trainee "Charlie" (Edward Holcroft) who now has an interesting new arm - and still clearly bears a grudge. Why? Well it appears that the mysterious Golden Circle might be behind it, so it falls to "Eggsy" to investigate. Tragedy ensues - big style - and he and "Merlin" (Mark Strong) head to the USA where they encounter a sister organisation "Statesman" where "Tequila" (Channing Tatum) and "Whiskey" (Pedro Pascal) work for "Champ" (Jeff Bridges) - and they discover another fairly surprising person too! Meantime, "Miss Polly" (Julianne Moore) announces that she has been lacing all the recreational drugs in the world with a deadly pathogen that will kill everyone, excruciatingly, unless all drugs are legalised. They have got to track her down and thwart her cunning plan before the bodies start piling up. This is a fast moving and quite entertaining boys-own adventure. Egerton is quite engaging, and there are quite fun contributions
Read the whole review on TMDB**A mix of glaring errors and notable qualities, in a film that is fun enough to watch and forget soon after.** I'm not really aware of the box office results achieved by “Kingsman”, but I can guess that they were quite good, guaranteeing the continuation of what was already seen as a potential franchise. And so, here we are looking at his second film, a logical continuation of the story of the first. We see an attempt to smooth out some rough edges that were criticized in the first film: unlike what happened before, and except for some more bizarre deaths, it is a more serious bet on the family segment, with no problems regarding graphic violence and gore. Matthew Vaughn did a satisfactory job of balancing action and humor, and reinforcing the dose of choreographed and flashy fights and spy gadgets, where the technical and effects department had enough ground to shine. The soundtrack isn't bad, maintaining the essentials of the first film, and the cinematography and costumes work. The editing is very well done, and despite being a very long film for the genre, this is not a really important problem. The script is fun and entertains the audience well, trying to maintain the quality
Read the whole review on TMDBThis is indeed a silly, even childish at time, movie but to me it was also a really really fun movie to watch. The movie starts by the Kingsman organisation getting screwed over royally by the psychopathic Poppy Adams which forces what remains of the organisation, all two people, to work with their counterpart in the United States. Just as the Kingsmen are parodies on the stiff upper lip British gentleman the Statesmen are parodies of the southern US gentleman (if you can actually call them that) only even more so. Maybe it is my European heritage but I personally feel the Kingsmen are fairly cool where the drawling Statesmen are more on the silly side. Once again Eggsy is the main character although I have to say that I personally like Harry, the original Galahad, much more. He has much more charisma, elegans and smarts. Since he is portrayed on the movie posters I guess it is not much of a spoiler when I say that, to my delight, the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately Eggsy is sometimes quite cool and plays his British gentleman role quite well and sometimes he is just dumb as a doornail. Poppy Adams is okay but she is bordering on the ludicrous too much f
