Kingsman: The Golden Circle

[ZariusTwo]

Empire Magazine reveals that the Kingsman sequel will be titled Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and with that comes the first official concept art from the movie. Below, we see destroyed Kingsman HQ, the Statesman HQ (which is the American version of the spy organisation), and Poppyland, the secret lair of lead villain Poppy (played by Julianne Moore). It's after that attack that Eggsy and Merlin head to the US, an organisation led by a "swaggering, sharpshooting cowboy" called Jack and Halle Berry's Ginger.

Asked about his plans for The Golden Circle, director Matthew Vaughn said: "I didn't know if I wanted to direct this or not. I was worried about the villain. Spy films are only as good as their villains. Then one morning I woke up with the whole storyline in place, and a new villain plot." As for whether he intends to try and recreate that awesome church sequence from The Secret Service, he added, "You try not to read what people want, but they do want another church sequence. I have no reason for another massacre to happen. But I have other sequences you've never seen before." That will apparently include a skiing sequence, a barroom brawl, robot dogs, one-armed henchmen, and the heroes being attacked by what Vaughn calls, "a massive f***ing frankfurter." Awesome...

Ugh. Halle Berry...

Everything else, though, sure!

[M.O.D.O.K.]

That sounds absolutely insane.

Can't wait to see more.

Firth returns

[raph27]

I love that poster.

[NinjaPug]

So Vaughn is definitely directing this? I thought he was only producing.

If Vaughn is coming back then I'll be there opening weekend.

Dear Comic Book movie directors. STOP casting Halle Berry in them

So say we all.

And how on Earth can Colin Firth have survived!? This adds to my hype so much!!!!

[Mayhem]

Grumbles about the propagation again of a mis-quote (it's not quite what Twain wrote), yeah... interested to see how this film explains that.

[TigerClaw]

Looks like Elton John is gonna be in the sequel.

That absolutely made my day. :tlol:

Yeah, just saw it. It's pretty decent. not a patch on the first one, but it was still packed with fun concepts and a few interesting twists

I did not expect the dog to be killed off.:|

One of Eggsy's friends discovers his secret, but dies immediately afterwards in the missile attack. Crass.

Lots of continuity call backs to the first one...right down to using the "shoot the dog" method of testing a Kingsman's character.

Harry's revival is explained well, and the method of preserving him is a plot point that comes back later.

So they went with a fictitious President, where as they went with Obama in the last one. I don't know how knee-deep they were into elections when this one was made, but the ending seems to be the last vestiges of post-Trumpmatic stress syndrome with the impeachment and the female taking power, even in a transitional role.

The best scene was right off the bat with the cab battle. Loved that Eggsy had to drive the battle-ravaged cab into the river with no windshield.

Elton John was gold here...kind of wish he had played a special "Wednesday Night's Alright" variation during the whole battle at Poppy's diner,

I think there's wiggle room to bring at least one character back in the third one, but I actually would have to choose between that one and one other major character that's killed off in the film...and I think there's no really no choice at all

But yeah, I liked it.

Does anything bad happen to JB (his pug)? Is JB even in it?

JB's killed when the missiles hit.

The Princess gives him a new pug halfway through the film

Crap. I was afraid something would happen to him. Thanks for the heads up

[Andrew NDB]

Excellent. My wife is pug crazy, owns 6 of them... this will surely, palpably devastate her. She was visibly worried that JB was going to die in the last one.

The original cut was three hours

Saw this a week ago or so... loved it, a worthy sequel to the first movie.

Definitely not as concise or believable, though (but well written).

That hamburger in the opening scene. :teek: :tlol:

[ProphetofGanja]

Saw this last night, I think it was a step down from the first one (I only saw the first one once, and it was a while ago, but I remember leaving the theatre more pleased than I did last night). All the actors did well with what they were given, at least. Julianne Moore was a decent villain, Jeff Bridges was good as the head of The Statesmen (and his Big Lebowski reference got a bigger laugh out of me than any other moment). I wish they had done a little more with Ginger Ale and Merlin's "tech support wanting to be field agents" B-plot. Maybe the 3 hour cut of the film fleshed out that story more. All in all the action scenes were very solid, I liked the camera techniques used in the final fight especially, but much of the rest of the movie just felt phoned-in to me.

[Cure]

Yeah, it's a good movie, I'm just tired of being told Channing Tatum is in a movie only to have him be barely in it, like GI Joe.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Yeah, that really surprised me. He was in it for, what, 10 minutes at the most? Which is too bad, I actually really liked him in it.

[ProphetofGanja]

So what, do we think if they do a Kingsman III it'll feature Channing Tatum's Agent Tequila transplanted into the Kingsman? That's what the final scene of K2 seemed to be setting up. It's not a bad move, Channing Tatum is great as comic relief. It almost seems like the whole point of this movie is that they can have Tequila as Eggsy's partner

I dunno. I liked Tequila, but I'd rather see more of Harry and Eggsy working together. Loved the final fight in Golden Circle.
