I wanted to but couldn't!

Don't Believe the Hype

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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

The first film seemed to find a unique sense of style and dark humour whilst managing to stick to a reasonable plot and still operate within its own zany rule book This second effort has some clever ideas, but many of the set pieces, even by Kingsman standards seems excessive, pushing the cartoon mayhem too far and some are just plain misses. Still, plenty to enjoy, particularly Mark Strong's singing and the climactic fight sequences. Part three needs tightening up.

Enjoy but only if you are 15 with an IQ equal to that and if you know the true meaning of Sick and I don't mean chav speak, rather pile of.Matthew Vaughan what went wrong? An absolute stinker that made me wince

I felt like they were slapping me with one hand and using the other to pay me to ignore the burning on my cheek. Maybe this is on me but I expected more than 30 seconds of screen time from Sophie Cookson. She was my main reason for forgiving their having killed off Gazelle in the first one. As a small note, there is a brief flashback of Sofia Boutella, so.... does that even the scales...? The Sophie/Sofia issue aside, you just can't allude to a small gift made at the end of the first film w/o leaving the viewer with the expectation that gift will be repeated. And WTF was with the young Burt Reynolds look? I couldn't decide if it was cool or offensive. If you can get past all that, or just don't care, then the payoff is that this has good eye candy, a decent cast, great action, fantastic FX AND they whip up a few chuckles. This is probably only watchable every 3 - 5 years. At least I now know what isn't in it.
