Katie D This is great! It managed to honor and build on the first movie and it's just as good! (it was a little loud but maybe that was just our theater...) funny, action-packed, surprising, smart, great music and excellent acting! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Blu B A Classic of the franchise even though it doesn't do anything better than the first. What matters here is it captures the fun, quite a bit of the humor, energy, and awesomeness of the first one. Acting, cinematography, is both solid and the music is really good here and the best thing easily. It comes very close to matching the great cinematic and action packed mix of the first. Editing isn't bad and pacing is pretty good. Moore is a solid villian though Jackson was a bit better. Ezzy is good in this and Firth for what it's worth is good too. I still question the decision to bring him back rather than introduce a new character but more than anything because of his acting it works. And Elton John is great in this and really funny. The direction is good here and honestly if the same director wasn't brought back for this I feel this could've been a disaster. This does wonders for it making all the crazy element work still. The fights especially the end are really good and the best part. The CGI looks terrible but it's over the top and not meant to be taken serious so it gets a pass. The special effects in general are good. Where this struggles though is the sideplots and character development. There really isn't any character growth in this though the new ones are all fund and memorable. The plot is more focused and a slight step down from the stakes of the last one but besides time travel or multiverse stuff I don't know how else you culd do it. In the middle it does get a little bit bogged down and this is where probably the biggest issues are. The whole sideplot with the Princess feels like it could be cut out. Again the issues with bring Colin Firth back is a bit questionable. And the setup of the plot especially in the first half really stretches suspense of disbelief even in something self aware and comedically over the top like this. This is basically the first but without the coming of age aspect on top of it that kept things more focused and grounded. Does it do anything better than the first? Not really honestly. Fights, fun, and music come pretty close and directon and memorable characters it does capture the majority of it. If the first was an homage to the spy movie genre as a whole than this is a homage to the spy movie sequels like Thunderball for better or for worse. Mostly better though here. Because it pretty much has the same problems that those Goldfinger wanna be sequels have. Repeating the first but doing nothing better, no real character growth, and over the top plots that aren't clever or grounded. But it also does the humor much better than those because of self awareness and better direction. Anyone who is a big fan of the franchise, any actors in this, the director, or action comedies like Hot Fuzz or Rush Hour will probably like this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Beverly P I went in to watching this movie without many expectations, I really liked the first Kingsman movie and wanted more but was optimistically cautious I suppose. I found that this sequel had action, humour and heartwarming moments. It's not perfect, it lacks refinement perhaps, but the acting is solid and the movie is a pleasure to watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review HMF B More of the same but not as good as the first one. It's a popcorn movie, just put a bit more butter on the kernels. For an evening with the boys. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Tyler L There were some moments that were cool but overall it was a very disjointed and embarrasing sequel. Why did they bring Harry back who dies in the first film? They should've made this focus on just Eggsy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Worse than the last one. Didnt keep the good stuff but only kept the bad stuff.
