oh my oh my! i was expecting a long reply from you Heidi ^_^ i can see how involved you are when you really love a movie :D i couldn't have said it better myself... this movie had everything. sometimes prequels are risky or fail to bring the same juice as the first one.. this one did quite well, to be honest! we loved it! thx a lot for the suggestion!

Kingsman: The Golden Circle- Thank you very much for your fun and fantastic reaction to this brilliant sequel... Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Joy and Marian! Just like the first movie, I love this movie too! It's not quite as good as the first Kingsman movie. However, I still do love it. :) Most of all... I absolutely love how the creators and writers were able to bring Harry back to life after he had been killed in the first movie. And it's a fantastic idea too. Plus... I also really love that this movie brings Eggsy and Merlin to Kentucky, where they come to work with the Kingsmen's' American counterparts... the Statesmen, who reunite them with Harry. Bloody brilliant! Now... I don't drink at all, but I love that the names of famous American drinks are the codenames for the Statemen. It's smart writing, because it makes sense for these characters from the states, as much as the old knights are very British. And I love the look and designs of the new settings for this movie. Both the Statesmen's headquarters, and Poppy's home within the ruins. I love this movie's overall story where both Kingsmen and Statesmen work together to stop Poppy from killing all the drug users, by putting poison into all of the world's supply. Again... I personally don't like that people use drugs. However, I definitely don't agree with those who believe killing everyone who has ever used drugs for some reason or another in their lives is the solution. And I hate the President in this movie for that reason because he does. Plus, he's an idiot too. And while I hate that Agent Whiskey is revealed to believe this way too, I still like his overall character and his fighting skills a lot. As for this movie's new characters... My favorite is Ginger Ale played by Halle Berry. She's the Statesmen's Merlin because she's the team's technology geek. But she's also her own character. I love her drive to want to become a new field agent. I also love how she makes it possible to bring Harry back to life, having been the one to create the way to save those who are killed by a bullet to the head like Harry was, as well as Agent Whiskey later on. She's a fun new character. I also love Agent Whiskey played by Pedro Pascal. I love how he fights with two lassos, one of which is an electrified and retractable lasso. I also just really love his fighting style. A number of his fight scenes are just as impressive as the fight scenes within the first movie. I especially love the big fight between him, Harry, and Eggsy in the end, after its revealed Whiskey is a bad guy with his own agenda. I didn't see this twist coming, and I am quite sad that he is a bad guy in the end. Because I would have loved to see him again if he could have survived if Eggsy and Harry didn't have to kill him upon him turning against them. I do feel badly for him upon learning that his wife and unborn child had been killed by two meth heads, which is what gives him his conviction to make sure that both Poppy and the Kingsmen/Statesmen agencies fail in their plans. However, he is still wrong to wish all drug users dead. There are good people who use drugs to help them cope with stress. And while using drugs is bad, it doesn't make all users bad people. And I love Champ, or Agent Champagne as well, played by Jeff Bridges, who is another brilliant actor in so many of his movies. I love that he's equivalent to Arthur within the Kingsmen. And I just love his own cowboy spunk. I especially love that he makes Ginger Ale the new Agent Whiskey in the end, without making her have to fight for her position among the men, having recognized that she earned becoming an agent. I am sad that Jeff Bridges isn't in the movie more, but then again... neither was Arthur in the first movie. I also love that Elton John has quite a big role throughout this movie as himself. I love the cheesiness he brings to this movie, and I even love his own fight scene in the end when he works with Harry and Eggsy to defeat Poppy. I love Elton John, and I love his music. As for Poppy, played by Julianne Moore... I like her as this movie's villain. Although not nearly as much as I love Valentine from the first movie. She's creepy and completely crazy, just like Valentine too, but she's also her own character, with a different agenda. At least with Valentine, he believed he was doing good for the world by fighting to end the over population problem. However, with Poppy... She was killing people because she wants all drugs to become legalized. She is just crazy and does what she does for the fun of it. She didn't have a reason to kill them like Whiskey or the President did. This is why Poppy is just crazy. As for Agent Tequila, played by Channing Tatum... I am actually really happy that he isn't in this movie very much. Personally, I don't like Channing Tatum at all as an actor. I think he's far too arrogant, or full of himself, and he usually plays an idiot. And I don't mean simply in his roles. As an actor, he's too arrogant and cocky. And that arrogance and attitude comes across in all of his roles. And so many women think he's so gorgeous. I don't. I do apologize to you if you both like Channing Tatum. I just don't. I am even happy to see Charlie again too. I didn't like him all that much in the first movie, but I like him a lot more here in this movie as Eggsy's rival and Poppy's right hand man. As a full on villain, Charlie is a great character. And lastly... I like that Princess Tilde is a much bigger character throughout this movie, and that she and Eggsy wind up getting married in the end. I love that Eggsy struggles with the life he wants with her, and that Harry is there for him to assure him he can have everything he wants, and still be the best Kingsman agent like he believes him to be. Overall... This movie is just fantastic like the first movie is too! I really enjoy almost everything about it. Although, I hate that Merlin, Roxy, and J.B. are all killed. Especially Merlin, whom I love throughout these two movies! Even though I love how he goes out singing to distract the men until he lures them over to him, then steps off the landmine to kill them all so that Eggsy and Harry can have a fighting chance. I wanted more from Merlin in the end. I really wanted to see him fight like Harry and Eggsy too. But I do like that he dies taking out as many of Poppy's thugs as he can. Now... Like I've mentioned in one of my messages to you, there is actually a prequel Kingsman movie to these two movies. A movie that takes place in a time period many, many years before these movies are set, showing how the Kingsmen organization comes to be. Sadly, I am not really a fan of this prequel, so I don't really want to request it for you. However, I may do so later on for you if you are at all interested in watching it. Just let me know. And in answer to your questions about whether or not there is a third movie set as a sequel to this movie... There will be. They are in the middle of making this sequel now. So, hopefully it will come out soon, and when it does, I will be happy to request it for you both to enjoy as well! :) Thank you so much once again for this amazing reaction, my dear friends!! I really had a lot of fun watching this movie again with you. Both of these movies. And like always... I can't wait for many more movie reactions to come!!! You're both wonderful! :) Sincerely, Heidi
