Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Unnecessarily gross violence and vulgarity, in my opinion. Script felt forced and unnatural. Didn't find any of it humorous. I'm the sort that has to know the end no matter what, but I turned this one off. Completely unenjoyable, not entertaining. Wish I could get my money and time watching it back. Guess I don't wonder why everyone seems to be yelling that our societies moral conscience is degrading if this is considered enjoyable.

ALL of the actors looked and acted both tired and old. The script was superficial. Some great actors were not utilized well. The material they had to deal with was ughhhhhhhh. I haven't seen a movie in a while that was so draining to watch. The action sequences were inherently sunk by the plot, dialogue, acting, and overall script. It's one of those sequels that didn't even come close to measuring up to the original. I finished it because I streamed it at home and could take it in small doses, but would have really been pissed had I paid theater prices for this one.

I was really really disappointed with this one, especially since the first one was such a pleasant and outrageously fun surprise. The action was great (the only reason I rounded this one up instead of down) but the premise was silly and destroys any illusion of a well-crafted (or realistic) narrative or characters. I don't think the studio had any hopes for a sequel and you can tell. All I could see was gaping plot holes and lack of character development. They completely jumped the shark with this one. If you thought the first one was enjoyable, don't come to this one expecting the same polish and fun. I couldn't turn my brain off long enough to enjoy it.
