Holy shit as if the movie already didn't have enough fucking plot armour. The harry thing was a cop out, but this would've literally made the stakes ZERO.

Thank god Kingsman is finally capitalized in the title now
Random but I dug the soundtrack of the movie.
Listening to it on YouTube now. I LOVE Poppy's/ The Golden Circle's theme.

Am I the only one bugging out that they killed off the only female kingsman member???
The movie basically ends with a 'join the boys club only if we say so' thing.
Movie treats females in an embarrassing way.

"Didn't Eggsy used to have a mum and a baby sister? lol who cares here's his sausage party of stoner friends."
"Sorry Eggsy the only way we can track our lead into the bad guys is to trick a woman into inserting this tiny device directly into her vagina."
"Whoops we killed off the only female Kingsman. Oh well lol."
"Let's make sure this film doesn't end without the primary love interest getting damseled."
Yeah that's this movie. Damn shame.

Movie is still uneven as fuck. But the president war on drugs joke works. Worth my 2 hour.

I don't know. "Fuck you Poppy" got a good chuckle out of me.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
That's absolutely batshit which means it would make total sense.
I absolutely want the four hour cut if that really exists. If they were going for a two part 4 hour film with tons of characters and plot lines and then had to cut almost 90 mins out of it (and usually what goes is character development scenes) that could really explain the end result feeling both underdeveloped & overly long at 2:20.
While I like this one, right now I'd say it's the weakest & most uneven film Vaughn has made, and I wonder if part of that was from having to cut 1/3rd of the movie out. Especially if he had made and paced it for a 2 part movie and then the studio made him turn it to one 2:20 film.

The Elton John bits were awesome and got some of the biggest laughs in my theater.

Do you guys get what they are trying to say with the giant FOXNEWS logos everywhere? It seems to be Vaughn is not as clever as he think he is.
This is a 20th Century Fox production. It's not a political statement, it's because the licensing is free.

I hardly ever notice soundtracks in movies, and Henry Jackman isn't usually a name that gets me excited, but damn if this isn't one of the hypest soundtracks I've heard all year.

Why do you even need real world news outlet. I can't think of any other movie that put the news outlet logo so permanently in the screen.
Have you seen the MrPlinkett Ghostbusters review? It's product placement.
That would actually made sense since during the explosion I noticed his upper half flying in the sky from the explosion. I really enjoyed the movie, specially Whisky and he broken Lasso action.
Its a heck of a job. I havent really enjoyed a score of his fully, but this is the one from him I have.

That last fight scene was hype as hell.

FOX News is a "real world news outlet"? Every time time they cut to a news segment I kept thinking to myself, "That's not really how FOX News would have covered that".
Overall I didn't like the movie very much. I thought it was OK, not much better than that. Too many plot holes- not well fleshed out. The first movie was much better.

I got bored so I looked up a plot synopsis and holy shit did I lose all interest
EDIT: Yeaaah, I misunderstood this as meaning you read a synopsis while getting bored watching the movie in a theater, never mind.

Yes. Blown up by a missle off screen, more accurately, you see the house he was in explode.

Enjoyed the film but I was iffy on the only way to track someone is fingering them and
. The bar scene was also poorly done, the dudes wanting to fight them for literally no reason at all was just dumb and felt like a forced throw back.
also killing off Roxy without much fanfare

Just finished and while I loved it, I wish there was much more Tequila. The fact that there's such a long cut out there makes me hopeful it'll get released someday
Merlin coming back would be BS, but wouldn't be surprised if
Roxy[/SPOILER\ came back with no injuries whatsoever and was either laying low or investigating from some other angle. They'll say she got out just before her flat was blown up.
Also Oberyn Martell
Nice touch.
Also Oberyn Martell
going crazy because his wife and kid were killed by drug addicts, making him want revenge on all drug addicts.

The entire movie makes no scene, the whole London cab chase makes no sense. How to do you have impact crash with a sidewalk iron fence, throws out two people and yet the good guy stays in the cab and nothing happen to him? How do you "transform" a London cab into a "racing trim" yet it handles and drives just as bad as the regular cab?
Also there are going to articles written about that fingerbang scene, I am not even going there.
The Cinemascore? Not entirely sure, think its decent.

Just listened to a few tracks from the score myself. I'm presuming most of is just copy and paste from the original, but there are actually some decent moments. Poppy is pretty good.
I think he's referring to the box office. It's actually around 39m. It's not bad, if not much bigger then the first. If it does over 350m WW, which is likely, I think will probably get another film.
That kind of bothers me. Already got spoiled on the

I kind of hate when sequels end up a bit "meaner" to characters randomly.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was a lot of fun, and while it didn't hit the same highs as the first there weren't any major low points for me, either.
Hopefully it is successful.

Not that it's much of a defense, but you did see his mom at the end.
I won't lie when I say I was a bit teary when
, even if the end of his version ended like it did it was still a great scene.
Merlin started singing Take Me Home, Country Roads

Henry Jackman lifted the score like Magneto lifting the submarine from his previous work in Xmen first Class. The scene where Eggsy
tries to make Harry Hart remember with pickles

Jumps between aspect ratios like a Nolan film, but the action looks REAL nice blown up on the big screen.
Do you work at Sony Imageworks? We did that sequence haha! Im glad to see yall enjoying this movie

I watched the first movie for the first time today and then went to see this. I gotta say the second was better. The action was a lot better and the villains are a lot better.
I also am not sure why you guys think the characters even matter. Except for Eggsy, Harry and Merlin these movies added no character to anyone. If you're sad for anyone that does in either one, you've attributed onto them personality that doesn't exist in the movies.
I will say I would like a 4 hour cut. The movie had a few references that made little sense.
