Hello, friends! Today we are going to review Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which is the sequel to the Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015). FYI, there will be spoiler so if you don’t want us to spoil it, please leave and come back after you have watched the movie. Be warned!
动作电影一直以来都是倩雯的最爱，我对它的喜爱就只是还好。如果要说原因，可能是因为它的剧情发展都是预料之内，我喜欢比较动脑或预想外的发展的电影。

First off, I loved the first movie. It was action-packed and hilarious. It was a spy movie that was ridiculous like Austin Power with the eccentric bad guy and people exploding like fireworks. However, unlike Austin Powers, this movie felt real badass and cool even if it’s not very realistic. Then again, Hollywood movies are not known for their realistic portrayal are they? Especially action movies.
我没有很认真去看第一集，所以能够比较的地方也很少。但，以个人来说，我不喜欢这一集。
我就在这里列出来几个我不喜欢的点吧！
Kingsman: The Golden Circle started off with an action sequence that tells us that they’re not messing around and this is an R-rated movie. It also brought back Eggsy, our protagonist from the first movie. He had become a proper Kingsman and no longer a punk with no direction like he was in the first movie. Surprisingly, the butt joke (this part was cut from the Malaysian version) at the end of the first movie had an unexpected twist in this movie. Eggsy and the princess are now in a relationship.
We also saw Roxy, Merlin and…Galahad senior played by Colin Firth, who was supposed to be dead. Regrettably, Roxy wasn’t in the movie much. In fact, the entire Kingsman agency was destroyed real early on leaving only Merlin and Eggsy. At this point, Colin’s character has not shown up.
Merlin and Eggsy then had to get help from their cousin agency in America, the Statesman, who used the alcohol business as a front so they seemed to have more resources than Kingsman whose front was a tailor’s shop.
It was in America that they found out that Hart (Colin’s character) was alive. However, he had lost his memory. I’m glad that Hart is back, but kind of disappointed that I didn’t get to see Channing Tatum team up with Eggsy. In fact, I would love to see any action from Channing since he seemed so interesting. Sadly, he was like a cameo character, only showing up a couple of times and spent the rest of the time frozen.
第一，太啰嗦。虽然观众都应该知道剧情走向，但他们也太啰嗦了！一大堆人一直来解释来龙去脉，我心里只想说“你们能快点开打吗？别拖剧情了。”
第二，太儿戏了。如果秘密基地是那么容易拿到的数据，那么这个骇客就是天下无敌了。电影一开始不久，就让那么多角色死去，导演是想省钱呢？还是不想拍那么多人？
而且既然是这么重要的基地，难道没有更好的防御措施吗？导弹打到面前了，才知道来了。
第三，敌人不够强大，队友不够华丽。敌人一点都不强大，为什么我会这么说呢，那是因为他们失败得太容易了，真的太容易了。虽然搞出了震惊全球的事件，但名声并没有非常全球化，而且“黄金圈”这个组织也不够浩大。不似第一集的敌人，联手全球的首脑搞大屠杀，武器甚至太空化了，利用卫星来控制晶片。
至于队友，我觉得他们的出场不够华丽。就算他们的装备让我们看了都惊叹连连，但我还是觉得他们不够特出，感觉就像是一个附属的小组织。

第四，剧情牵强。威士忌特工的背叛故事真的太太太牵强了，就好像塞进去的剧情，让人摸不着头脑。他的故事可以是非常具有震撼性的，也是发挥空间很大的一条副线。不过呢，处理得不够好。
若还要再说下去，我还有很多东西可以吐槽的。以上都是几点比较主要的点，让我不得不吐啊~！
One of the things that I don't like is the fact that the Kingsman got their ass kicked way too much. I mean, the agency was destroyed so easily not even halfway into the film. Then, Eggsy and Merlin got their ass kicked by Tequila (Channing Tatum). I just wished they were on more even footing. At least, make it a close match!
The movie was as action-packed as the first one, maybe even more so and more superhero-like. The bad guy, Poppy was fun to watch but she was killed off so easily and replaced by the other ‘bad’ guy agent Whiskey. The movie was also ultra-violent so don’t bring your kids!
Like the first movie, this movie sparked an interesting debate on an issue. It made an interesting point on why some substances were banned and some were not, while the first movie was about killing people to save earth.
说完了不满意的几点，当然啦，满意的地方还是有的。
武打场面都和第一集一样，让人看了很过瘾。而且导演使用了慢动作的镜头来呈现武打场面，更加能够让人看得明白清楚，也不会漏看了太多细节，这是我较喜欢的。
以往的电影很多都在武打的部分加快处理，但往往会让人看得不过瘾，或者是不清楚到底主角怎么取胜。
我很喜欢‘末日协议’这一个链接，利用队友的物品来作为提示，并引导幸存者找到彼此。虽然两方都互不相识，但到了关键时刻，他们都会站在一起对抗敌人。

Overall, I enjoyed the movie but I think that I enjoyed the first movie more. The ending of the first feels more extravagant…I mean people’s heads exploded in fireworks. This time we get a wedding, which made me wonder if Eggsy will be back since he’s now a Prince. We also see Channing Tatum at Kingsman tailor shop. Does that mean he’s there for a visit? A suit? A Kingsman? The movie worked well because of Eggsy and I’m afraid that they will replace him with someone not up to par. I know there’s a Kingsman 3 on the way, so we will just have to wait and I’m still looking forward to it.
总结来说，看过第一集的人，请不要对这一集有太大的期待，因为真的会失望。虽然第三集也在筹备中了，但我对它的期待度还是有所保留。
