Review
Greetings, fellow reader who clicked the hyperlink from the review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Enjoy this review from 2012. In retrospect, this is an okay sequel that doesn't really strive to do anything too special that the first film hadn't done, although I still found it to be decent entertainment, mostly because of Jones and Smith. The third film is the best of the two sequels, ultimately.
Five years after the success of the first film, this was released. And it works for the most part. It's a decent enough sequel that has some of the stuff that made the first good in the first place: Good effects, with a good enough cast fit into a usual run-time. It has some laughs and is worth seeing at least once for anyone. Ten years after this, there would be a sequel (at the rate of time they're going, the next will be in 2027/2032). All in all, this is a pleasant sequel and one of many successes for Will Smith.
Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
