And while her villainy is operating in the background, pushing the plot forward, it would have been nice to see her get a little more action overall. Jackson's Valentine was in Kingsman: The Secret Service.
It's just that she seems a little more hands off than Samuel L. Of course, this isn't to say that Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a perfect film, as the one major hiccup comes from Julianne Moore's villain, Poppy. Even if we've seen some of this before, it's nice to be with characters that we grew to love in the original film.
That said, the humor of Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Mark Millar's Secret Service comic is still very much intact. For the most part, this doesn't kill the film's vibe, however it does give a bit of an air of "been there, done that" to some of the film's elements. There's a fair bit of repetition in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, as moments and scenarios from the first film are brought up, and sometimes relived with a slight variance in tow.
Together, they'll embark on a mission to stop a crazed drug lord (Julianne Moore) with some nasty plans to make herself known to the world. Following the Doomsday protocol, they hook up with the Statesman agency - American counterparts who fancy a good whiskey and Southern hospitality. One year after the events of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eggsy (Taren Egerton) and Merlin (Mark Strong) are thrown into the deep end, as someone has eliminated the rest of their fellow Kingsman agents.
