       Kingsman: The Golden Circle is nowhere near what the first film
       was. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this one was
       actually too much of a "comedy" in the sense that what we get is
       not a homage to all things spy-related, but more or less a
       parody this time around. Don't get me wrong, there's some great
       stuff here, especially the opening scene as well as the fight
       scenes. But I think the pacing was a big off and I wasn't
       particularly digging the story motivation of Julianne Moore's
       villain of drugging (releasing a virus) and then holding the
       world hostage. The way her character was written was just weird.
       Her demise was satisfactory either. It's what the entire movie
       is building toward and it just fell flat. Hated to see Merlin
       go. He will be missed if there is a Part 3 on the way. As for
       both Halle Berry and Channing Tatum, they really aren't in the
       movie as much as you think based on the trailer. And speaking of
       the Trailer, out of all the trailers I have ever watched, this
       one was and is still the most egregious of them all. I remember
       when the trailer first dropped and they ruined, RUINED by
       telling everyone that Colin Firth as Harry was back and alive.
       Seriously, WTF! How does a trailer get made and then get signed
       off on to release with a major twist like that still intact?
       Okay, enough ranting. I do have one thing to ask, how and why
       the f*ck was Elton John in this? This is the biggest head
       scratcher of them all? Mind you, he is funny as hell and it's
       just just a single cameo. He pops up throughout the movie and
       each time being better (and funnier) then the last. So, the
       movie is worth a Rent, nothing more than that.
