Kingsman: The Golden Circle: It’s all same, same

Cast: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Elton John, Channing Tatum, Jeff Bridges

Rated: 5/10

Let’s face it bros — the Kingsmen were pretty awesome tailors back in 2014. In 2017, there are several creases in their suits as they fight, chase and even get blasted by the totally becoming but deranged villainess who engineers a global “sudden death” of substance abusers across the world.

Despite all the action and the suggested comedy, despite the pace and the noise, despite the familiarity and the computerised foes, there are only three high points in the film — Elton John who is flamboyant with his altered sexuality and is seen to be having a blast as a prisoner of a drug baroness. Then there is Julianne Moore as the totally impressive lady who can put you through a shredding machine, make a meat matty out of your innards and serve it to her employee in a test of trust! She has computerised dogs to guard her installation somewhere which is nowhere in Cambodia. As the absolutely badass but extremely polished woman with a criminal DNA, she makes Kingsmen a treat to be with.

But all towering is the Jon Denver signature song Country roads take me home which is used to perfection in this 70s movie with not much else to write home about.
