I truly loved the first Kingsman movie. It was slick, well written and well produced but when I saw the trailer for the sequel I knew the film was in trouble. As is normally the way with Hollywood if a film is successful then the sequel is Americanized... Statesman bringing with them the most over the top cgi and overacting. The plot was convoluted and although I loved Colin Firth in the first movie this over the top bringing people back from head gun shot wounds was frankly ridiculous. They should never have killed off Merlin but hey they might stick him back together for the 3rd disaster.
The initial release was refreshing giving a unique protagonist and a surprisingly well made story. This film takes the comic origins of the franchise further adding more gory violence and general outlandish elements which may indeed be off putting for some, however with a few twists and genuinely emotional moments scattered throughout this film is just 'mindless fun' at the very minimum and was a surprise of a sequel, don't get me wrong it isn't a masterpiece but its good regardless, worth a watch
If you go into this film looking for a light hearted story and characters that don't take themselves to seriously then you will be entertained. It's no James Bond, but it doesn't try to be. Some of the action sequences are brilliant and ridiculously creative. The "shaky-cam" action works really well. I've seen loads of negative reviews, many truely unjust. Just a entertaining watch.
I knew this movie 'd not work. Sofia Boutella had been the main reason why the previous installment had been successful As a matter of fact this movie made her become famous Perhaps the choice of the director of making her character "die" in the previous movie (spoilers) , was unwise
