Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a worthy successor to the fun and funny original film.

A year after saving the world, hooking up with a Swedish princess and joining the sartorially immaculate ranks of the Kingsman intelligence agency, Eggsy (Taron Egerton) faces a...

Vaughn’s film is overflowing with big set pieces, but all those epic action sequences amount to a running time clocking nearly two and a half hours – and not much else. Like fir...

Matthew Vaughn's sequel to his hit 2015 spy flick reteams Taron Egerton with Colin Firth and adds Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Halle Berry and Jeff Bridges.

Kingsman gets dumber in the lurching, incoherent Golden Circle.

“Kingsman” is essentially a live-action cartoon, one that aims for an audible reaction and little else. That may not be the world’s loftiest goal, but whether it results in a ga...

The British spy franchise returns, with more celebrities (hello, Channing Tatum) and cartoonish carnage.

Vaughn sticks to what he knows with his Kingsman sequel but rarely ups the ante, making this a fun-enough entry into an already-too-familiar franchise.

The follow-up to Matthew Vaughn’s action caper ups the ante with a starry cast including Channing Tatum, Julianne Moore and Elton John. It might just be too much of a good thing.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as stylishly violent as the original — but more ridiculous.

In a movie as happy to resurrect characters as rub them out, nothing is of consequence, and the glibness grows numbing.

Eggsy returns — and so do a couple characters you thought were dead — in this over-the-top, aggressively stylized comic-book spy sequel.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle offers everything — several bored Oscar winners, two scenes featuring death by meat grinder, Elton John mugging in close-up — except a good time.

Without the first movie’s snappy charm, Matthew Vaughn’s follow-up to the gentleman-spy saga is just pop idiocy.

Interminable Bond-spoofing sequel will make you long for Die Another Day.

A parody of a parody, the film is so soulless that it makes its predecessor seem like a classic in retrospect.

The movie itself, a sort of bildungsroman in which raw recruit Eggsy (Taron Egerton) is given a class-conscious catapult to lethal gentlemanhood by older agent Harry (Colin Firt...
