Kingsman: The Golden Circle Reviews – What The Critics Are Saying

Reviews have just dropped for Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, and they’re something of a mixed bag, with some critics seeming to love the American fare, and some wishing that the sequel had never been made at all. Below we’ve provided you with a selection of reviews which’ll help you make your mind up about if you’d like to take a second adventure with Eggsy and the gang.

Please note that we’ve only included a selection of reviews which give some kind of final rating or score, as they’re less nebulous than reviews which don’t, as much as we love all kinds of reviews and writing here at Cultured Vultures. Some non-scoring reviews include Variety and British GQ. And if you’re looking for our own review of The Golden Circle, you can find it right here.

IGN: 8.5/10

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as cheeky, cartoonish, and crazy as its predecessor, but it’s also commendably unafraid to demolish what had come before it if it’s in service of the story.

METRO: 3.0/5.0

It’s best to think of Kingsman: The Golden Circle as less of a sequel, more an American remix. It’s still a thrilling ride with action sequences unmatched in their high-velocity blasts, but the new additions struggle to conceal the familiarity beneath this secret service.

EMPIRE: 4.0/5.0

There are a lot of toys for Vaughn to play with here, and for the most part he plays well, but there’s not quite enough to justify the unwieldy 141-minute run time.

NERDIST: 3.5/5.0

…while it doesn’t reach the same hyperbolic heights as the first film, there are certainly worse things than being entertained for two hours.

SCREENRANT: 4.0/5.0

The Golden Circle proves that there is fun and enjoyment to be had in the further adventures of Eggsy and his new generation of spy film – and that the Kingsman franchise has serious potential staying power.
