OK, I'm somewhat torn. I loved the first movie and I love how they have this Statesman counterpart thing going on. I'm excited over the sequel.
But they brought back Colin Firth's character and upped the ante by destroying the whole Kingsman stuff and presumably killing off the other Kingsman. Kinda unsure how far down the "bigger is better" road they've gone. What's the point of all this upping the ante if there are no consequences? Nobody dies.
One word...excessive. While it retain the style and things you come to like about the first one, it just unrestrained with kinetic pacing and mishandling of the story. Out goes the campy spy homage and everything just on the eleven with in your face jokes. If you switch off your brain you may come to appreciate it as a mindless sequel, if you are looking for things that expand on the first movie....this is not that flick. There you have it...the first misfire from Vaughn otherwise impressive streak of highly watchable movies.
Why does Juliana Moore's character (Poppy) needs be so.... Saccharin????!?
nicely put. She was kinda delicious at the beginning. Audience anticipated & gushed wow the manner she..

disposed the chap in the meat grinder with the help of the new recruit
The moment the fight scene at the black cab, i felt uneasy. probably very predictable from then on. well, words like formalistic etc but at least it probably serves to the fans who appreciated the kingsman ("breathes of fresh air after decades of BOND franchise)

Movie was fun, but not as fun as the first.
Well, in a way it was WAY too obvious (in your face really)

In the first movie they over tried to show that it's the opposite of James Bond movies. In this movie, with that established, they could have more fun.
Damn Merlin scene. Also that damn song, Take Me Home, Country Roads. Salute.
Poor JB and Roxy. I thought we would have more Roxy in this film
The bar scene, this time with Whiskey and his lasso and whip, very awesome.
Elton John is the attention of this film
So I guess Galahad (Harry) becomes the leader, with Eggsy is implied to have to leave the Kingsmen? No worry, Tequila joined them

the graphic/cartoonish 'fingering' by Eggsy into her (Clara) virgina canal
QUOTE
The scene is certainly shocking, but it's integral to the plot. (Although, it should be said, the plot is flat-out bonkers.) It involved Eggsy (Taron Egerton) placing a tracking device inside of a character Clara, played by Poppy Delevigne.
By "inside," we're talking vaginal canal — the result is an almost cartoonish fingering that takes us, the viewer, inside of Clara's vagina. Don't worry; the movie leans on CGI to recreate that very intimate body part.
😬
Treaters here shown the 'inside' with tracker inserted but not moments before

character?! goddamn it and also

Merlin's sacrifice was good all and all, but the way they did it felt cheap, sure he took out the guards at the main door, but after that we saw Eggsy and Harry kicked all the other goons' arse, can't they took down those as well?
Darn... was hoping it would not fall into the 'more of everything in sequel' trap but it did. But going by the reviews, it surely sounds like a helluva lot of fun, but I'll pass.

Its still a rather well made sequel, just that when you compared it with the first one then it becomes just not that good

I agree with this so much. They dont even pay homage to the valentine incident and how the world react to it. My friend i watched the movie with said i was too picky with the details. Time to get better friends.
