The first movie introduced us to the elite English secret agents of Kingsman, this time we are presented with their U.S. counterpart - the Statesman. Meet Tequila, Ginger Ale, Whiskey, & Champagne. While the Kingsmen are suited in formal coats & ties, the Statesmen are booted with their
cowboy outfits.
Julianne Moore plays the new villain Poppy Adams. The druglord who's got monopoly of all the illegal drugs in the world. She's charming, filthy-rich, and CRAZY ! Sir Elton John who plays himself in a scene-stealing role is Hilarious !
Taron Egerton as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin continues his streak as the leading man to watch. While Colin Firth's Galahad coming back from the dead is both ingenious & wild.
Except for Pedro Pascal who showed his agility with the electric lasso, most of the Statesmen didn't do much here. They're being set-up for the third installment.
I don't know why there's so much negative reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this second installment of Kingsman. There's plenty of action, humor, and surprise that will keep the audience glued to their seats.
Expect a lot of those high-adrenaline action which made the first one truly enjoyable ! With Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Julianne Moore, Elton John, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Hale Berry, and Jeff Bridges. Directed by Matthew Vaughn. Rated R.
