Kingsman: The Golden Circle
2017movie
Both Kingsman and The Golden Circle are good action movies, but the first film’s emotional beats were what made it satisfying — you just don’t notice them until they’re gone. Kingsman: The Golden Circle might have a lot of Sir Elton John and its fair share of explosions, but the movie fails to find any depth in its relationships, resulting in hollow action scenes without emotional resonance.
Spoilers for Kingsman: The Golden Circle ahead. The Golden Circle picks up after the events of The Secret Service, with many familiar faces in play.But most audiences aren’t buying a ticket to The Golden Circle for poignant debate about social issues. No, they’ll be in it for over-the-top fight scenes, violence so extreme it cheerfully winks at the absurd, and the emphasis on exquisite design, style, and costuming the first film made us accustomed to. On these counts, The Golden Circle more than delivers.
