Matthew Vaughn’s filmography is filled with hits. Whether it’s the amazing Layer Cake with Daniel Craig, or 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service, the director has always found a way to successfully mix action, comedy, and witty dialogue. This seems to be the case with his latest offering, the sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle, as well.
Following the apparent death of his mentor (Colin Firth's Harry Hart/Galahad) and the disposal of one of the most entertaining villains in recent memory (Samuel L. Jackson's Valentine), Eggsy (Taron Egerton) is back in the game. This time, he’s up against a villain who seems to know everything about the Kingsman (just as Valentine did in the first movie). However, Poppy (Julianne Moore) takes a different approach to dealing with him, an approach that leads Eggsy across the pond, where he finds unexpected allies in the Statesmen.

The trailer doesn’t reveal anything substantial plot-wise (what Poppy wants, why the two secret agencies decide to work together, and so on). But it doesn't shy away from one of the movie’s biggest reveals: the return of Galahad and the surprise shown by Eggsy and Merlin (Mark Strong). Sure, we knew that the death of Colin Firth's character was exaggerated, but still"¦
It’s good to see that Kingsman: The Golden Circle isn’t afraid of some over-the-top action and comedy. But what do you think? Are its submarine cars and other bells and whistles too over-the-top?
