>What if we kill off every interesting side character and replace them with Tater Channings in a bowler hat?
And then they go with an even worse prequel. It's like they were trying to torch the franchise.

What a waste.

What a waste.
I almost forgot about the fact that they ran trailers SHOWING that Colin Firth's character was still alive, kek. Something something nanobots and some gel that froze his brain before it could kill him, it was moronic
In my opinion The King's Man was better, though still worse than the first one.
Even considering its villain is the most plain character I had seen in a while.
Yeah, the main reason I liked it was the theme. The action is good too, as is with the rest of Kingsman movies. also, any kinos where the deuteragonist gets killed off
That part was undercut by 5 seconds earlier him going "I'm coming with you this time", like don't have him exit the plane just to immediately explode in the next scene
>Spend the whole first movie establishing the cool Kingsman organization >Destroy all of it immediately in the second movie and repeat the first one's plot but with cowboys or something
They did the same thing in G.I. Joe, right at the start of the sequel they destroyed the base and killed the main characters to make room for new, worse ones.

Matthew Vaughn prepares a spy universe with Kingsman Arguill and an unidentified third franchise
I still have no fricking idea why the frick they did all this lolz EVERYONE you liked died, apart from uh the two butt pirates
Like, at what point did the studio think 'holy shit, this is kino, this is going to make viewers love it'
the only reason the first one was good was because Eggy might have had a chance at doing something good. Instead we good 'bro I'm just a poor working class background chav innit trying to make it back home to me mum'.
The second one had no plot beyond 'uh... drugs are bad since like, in the yee-haw lands, it's bad'
Cause Matthew Vaughn said to Mark Strong that in the Kingsman universe no one really dies
Case in point:

I like how they kill off Merlin and Roxy off-screen in the same movie they bring Colin Firth back from the dead after he was shot point blank in the head on-screen last movie with sci-fi nonsense. We're supposed to pretend they won't just show up in the next movie if they feel like it?
Mark Strong: >Kind of and I totally get that. Having said that, he has said nobody dies in the Kingsman universe.
Den of Geek: >I did think that. What’s great about that universe is that you’ve got so many possibilities you can do what you want. You’ve got Colin Firth’s character who came back. You can be rebuilt.
Mark Strong: >Who knows and it could be a recurring theme that someone who gets bumped off in every movie, then re-appears! [laughs] I was at the wedding in a Kilt and I was at the scene where Jeff Bridges character suggests Halle Berry’s character could become an agent. I was there in a wheelchair, but they painted me out. But the emotional impact of him blowing up on that mine is testament to Matt and Jane’s storytelling.

what a turd.
And your reward for saving the world? This dead eyed 4/10 who will let a stranger pound her chili ring after she's been in a holding cell for several days.
I'm really sad this shitty sequel had to waste Merlin and crew. Like WTF were they smoking when they wrote the script?
It felt like some fever dream. Half the movie was baller (Statesmen, the music festival and the snow mountain recon) but the other half was tripe (the B plot involving not!Trump and druggies, killing off all of Kingsman, etc).
I REALLY want to like Kingsman 2, but some of it just sours me, but doesn't fully ruin the movie. I did enjoy Elton John being a fricking poof, he was great playing himself.
Man, this movie sucked. Not that Kingsman 1 is great or anything but still
bump
Kingsman 1 was pretty good imo, second one was a clusterfrick. Only good parts were the scenes with the US President
>What if we kill off every interesting side character and replace them with Tater Channings in a bowler hat?

Tatum didn't even get any screentime. This movie was TLJ-level LE EXPECTATIONS SUBVERTED bad

Remember the I can't cheat on my princess girlfriend arch? If I finger her with a condom then I'm not cheating guys.
I loved the first one, it was perfectly good, stupid fun. The second one was a forgettable mess
I almost forgot about the fact that they ran trailers SHOWING that Colin Firth's character was still alive, kek. Something something nanobots and some gel that froze his brain before it could kill him, it was moronic
Yeah, the statesmen showed up in a jet just as the bad guys were walking away, they didn't even look back. A masterpiece of a recon if you ask me.
I thought it was funny, I watched it on a flight. That guy can get away with being bald. I guess.
In my opinion The King's Man was better, though still worse than the first one.
Even considering its villain is the most plain character I had seen in a while.
Definitely ramped up after the twist. Loved the timelapse of WW1.
Yeah, the main reason I liked it was the theme. The action is good too, as is with the rest of Kingsman movies.
also, any kinos where the deuteragonist gets killed off
it goes too crazy with the gadgets
>movie starts off casino royale, ends up like die another day
At least Die Another Day had Madonna instead of Elton John
say what you will about Elton John, but that Madonna song is the worst Bond theme ever
The one they had for Spectre was the worst imo. Just Sam Smith doing a ridiculously gay falsetto and winning a bunch of awards for it
70s/early 80s Elton is pretty good. But when he goes full camp is my cut-off point.
Sam Smith is terrible for sure, but the music at least still had a pinch of Bond in it. Madonna's didn't
>70s/early 80s Elton is pretty good. But when he goes full camp is my cut-off point.
damn, well said
>Madonna song is the worst Bond theme ever
Nah, it really makes you FEEL like you're being tortured by Norks.
i like elton john
?si=3ddCrCXCrac-lDUT
Unironically slightly enjoyed 2 more than 1.
That part was undercut by 5 seconds earlier him going "I'm coming with you this time", like don't have him exit the plane just to immediately explode in the next scene
Women will never understand the camaraderie and stoic emotion in this scene.
Justice for Roxy
she cute

So she coming back bro
Yes. Look if Colin Firth came back from a headshot with the most bullshit explanation, so can she.

The most pointless sacrifice in movie history. She collected singers and she could have turned off the mines from her office.
Plus Merlin looked and nodded at both of the people he was sacrificing himself for in full view of the guards.
Loved him in Age of Extinction
