In this second part of the Kingsman’s films, directed by Matthew Vaughn, the world is threatened by a new organization named “The Golden Circle”. While, the Kingsman’s headquarters were destroyed, Eggsy and Merlin are forced to unite with another spy agency in order to save the world.
I usually always find sequels to be a failure and even though, there’s nothing surprising in the new Kingsman, I think it is an epic success.
I am going to start this review by talking about the story: like I mentioned above, there’s nothing surprising in the new Kingsman, the plot is basic and deja-vu. Nevertheless, the movie is still as amusing and fun as the first one and I just love the sarcasm in the film [I laughed so hard during the whole film]. Furthermore, there is no way on earth that you can’t appreciate the characters; they are so lovable, enjoyable, memorable and they make the movie 10 times better, especially the new villain, Poppy.
Talking about Poppy, I think Julianne Moore did an amazing job as a psychopath; I was so impressed by her performance as the villain, in fact, Poppy is my new favorite character!!!
Now let’s talk about the cinematography/production design: the visuals of this film are very dynamic with a really colorful production design, saturated image and energetic camera movement. Each shot is very systematic and perfect [Like the Kingsman, duh] and, in general, the cinematic technique is very modern and crazy: literally, the camera goes from top view to low angle to close up in one shot only. I think this type of technique makes the fight scenes way more intense and fun to watch and it suits with the theme of the film [agents with really fancy, original and high-tech weapons]
I also like how the director chose to differentiate the three parties through colors reflecting the characters’ personalities: the Kingsman agency is represented with a luxurious, fancy and colorful production design. The American spy agency is represented with a more old western kind of production design, amber being the dominant color and Poppy’s agency is represented with a 60s sort of production design [bright and red colours].
Here are some still shots from the film:
Before ending this review, I just want to mention that the soundtrack is very motivating and dramatizes the scenes accordingly. On top of that, I really love Kingsman’s theme song.
In conclusion, I really advice you to watch “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”, it is a very entertaining movie and you definitely will not regret watching it.

It was nice to hear that as a second film it held its own and didn’t flounder. Often second movies can do that, though there are countless exceptions to that. Nicely written review.
Totally agree and thank you 😊
I loved the first one. Hoping to watch the second one soonest thanks to your review.

Really enjoyed the first one so if this is more of the same I’m looking forward to seeing it! Was kind of iffy on it as a few reviews I read gave the impression that it was a stinker so I’m glad to read a review that says otherwise. Guess I’ll have to see for myself 🙂 Thanks!
Well like i said, there’s nothing new, all the surprises was in the first one but i still enjoyed it!! Thanks for passing by!!
You heard my plea when I asked you to write a review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. And here you wrote it fantastically and outstanding. 🙂 I love this. I’m going to watch this movie first thing tomorrow. Thank you for hyping it up for me. I love the Kingsman a lot. 🙂
Hahahah always ❣️ thank you very much, i really appreciate it. I love the kingsman too hahah. Enjoy the movie ☺️❣️
I just watched the movie a couple of days ago and just like the first movie, I also enjoyed this one! I like the humour, charisma of the characters (and the characters themselves), and the comic book-like effects where the fight scenes are focused on and sometimes in slow motion. I’m glad there are positive reviews of the movie like yours. 🙂
Yes totally agree with you, the cinematic technique is very comic-like!! Haha thank youu ☺️☺️
Hmmm
Hahahahha
Did you notice that Harry with the digital hand was the same actor who was Harry in Spider-Man?
