Wolf Warrior Squadron has a baby Eggsy

"Kingsman 2" verifies the two status quo of Hollywood action films: first, the imagination of bad guys has reached its limit; the big villain Ms. Bobby's appeal turned out to be the legalization of drugs, and she also hopes to become a celebrity enterprise comparable to Steve Jobs Home, a child is innocent and cute; second, death has been computerized into a game, and correspondingly, victory has also come as lustful. The agents of the Tailor Shop were destroyed by a computer-controlled group of ten or eight missiles, and the villain who had mastered such powerful firepower could be completely destroyed by two agents. Can I do a simple math problem: the combat power of the two agents in "The Tailor Shop" is greater than that of the villain's headquarters, which is greater than the combined combat strength of the other agents in the "Tailor Shop". This is unscientific.
"Kingsman" still has such a sinister passage as the church massacre, and this sequel reminds me of Wolf Warrior - a sense of superiority based on the glory of a great power. I can understand the British handsomeness of the three-piece suit, or the American style of rum, or the laugh of Elton John singing "Wednesday, Wednesday", but in the face of such a big conspiracy, Eggsy beat Charlie again and again to emphasize I can only say that the director and the young audience have reached a conspiracy: don't be serious, I'll show you how to be handsome, uncle Fan is handsome, butler fan is handsome, fresh meat fan is handsome Cool, three options are available. Especially when Merlin stepped on the landmine and sang "Take Me Home on the Country Road", and the surrounding devils/villain guards resisted the urge to shoot and waited to be killed. I can only describe it with four words "heroic death".
For a moment, "Kingsman 2" is a bit closer to the word "great": the villain used the virus to hold millions of drug addicts hostage, and the president refused to extort, and locked up these millions of people who blamed themselves to die. This conflict is too exciting, however, Miss Moore confessed the password of "Viva Las Vegas" so smoothly - if the password is false, the film can be saved; however, the password is true, and there is no one in the sky. The machine was ordered to start delivering the antidote. I need to ask, after the antidote was sent, who injected the tens of thousands of patients in the concentration camp cages? Who decides the order of precedence? Who can guarantee which careerist will not rob the antidote and blackmail the patient's family again?
The biggest improvement of "Kingsman 2" is in the field of medicine: it successfully solved the major unsolved case of how to save life after being shot in the head, benefiting the latecomers of action films. Yet the film resolves the dramatic contradictions in a computer game way that, to an old audience like me who grew up watching 007 and Bourne and Mission Impossible, seems to have leaked logic and a plot that doesn't make sense. In terms of entertainment, this movie almost reached a full score - especially at the end of the film, Eggsy married the princess, and Tang Jiasan's online novel is at this level of ending. However, from a movie point of view, I miss 007's stern courage to save the glory of the empire alone, and I miss Bourne's bloody persistence in embracing the fate of abandoned children. As for Agent Eggsy, he's still a baby.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle quotes

  • [Charlie enters Poppy's Theater, wearing landmine equipment]

    Poppy: You're late. Why are you still wearing that?

    Charlie: Until you get rid of the perimeter landmines, I'll keep wearing the suit, thank you very much.

    Poppy: Scaredy-cat. Shut up and sit down. Let's go!

    [Poppy turns on the stage lights, revealing Elton John]

    Charlie: 'Crocodile Rock', please.

    Elton John: Fuck you!

    Poppy: Hey, hey, Elton. Language. Okay, well, as fabulous as your catalogue is, I think I want to hear some Gershwin.

    [Elton sighs and plays the piano]

    Charlie: I still can't believe you got away with kidnapping Elton John.
