To me it would have been a much better movie if they took out a bunch of stuff that made it way longer than it should have been.
Not as good as the first but I still enjoyed it.As much as I like the character, Galahad should have stayed dead, he was better used in the flashback scene. They could have given all his stuff to Roxy. He fully recovered in the final action scene without any attention. After the intro, get Charlie out of the way and have Whiskey step in a the main physical antagonist in the finale. Cut out all the Elton John stuff. That was 10 minutes added for all that alone.
Seems like this is another X-Men Apocalypse, where people feel its too long and more of the same and I guess at the end of the day your mileage varies depending on how much that bothers you. It didn't to me at all.
But that's what vice presidents, and deputy prime ministers are for.Honestly that's another critique that you could make against this film:They just kind of gloss over the fact that most of the world's leaders, and quite a few normal people, died when Valentine executed his plan (and when Merlin sabotaged those chips in their heads). I mean it's only been like a year (if that) in-universe, no way that all of that carnage is fixed so quickly.
They could have done something cool with the chaos and uncertainty that that would have caused around the world. But instead, it's like it never happened. Disappointing.
I've heard this movie is trash. Any truth to that?

Coming off of a big international box office session last weekend when War For The Planet Of The Apes swung into China, Fox leads again with the debut of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The Matthew Vaughn-directed sequel cut a $61.2M figure in its bow in 64 offshore markets. Of those, the MARV Films title was No. 1 in 55. At current exchange rates, thats 63% bigger than Kingsman: The Secret Service in the same grouping and includes $11.1M in the UK where Kingsman 2 ran circles around the previous film. Combined with domestic, the start is $100.2M global.
Its a shame though, that the increase from the first film's domestic ow isn't isn't so big.
I don't think it will have stronger legs than the 1st film.
Hopefully the international markets are already making up for this.
