Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSep 21, 2017
Kingsman: The Golden Circle offers everything — several bored Oscar winners, two scenes featuring death by meat grinder, Elton John mugging in close-up — except a good time. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperSep 21, 2017
If you liked the original, the best way to preserve that memory is to stay away from this sequel. Read full review

Slant MagazineJake ColeSep 20, 2017
The hollow grandeur of the film's action only gives the proceedings a glib undertone that also undermines the rare occasions of earnestness that the heroes exhibit toward fallen comrades. Read full review

New York Daily NewsEthan SacksSep 19, 2017
Unfortunately, overkill is the order of the day — and it takes a toll. There are too many supporting characters, too much exposition, too many gadgets, too many “Matrix”-inspired, slow-motion fight sequences, too many plot holes instead of twists and too ham-handed a political message about the war on drugs.

San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisSep 20, 2017
Despite all the mayhem, “The Golden Circle” often feels slow and belabored, particularly in its middle section, when inspiration is nowhere to be found, and the chaos seems to be there just for the sake of being there. Read full review

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is the bloated, campy, thoroughly stupid sequel to the 2014 action thriller "Kingsman: The Secret Service." Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinSep 19, 2017
This crazily overlong and tiresome follow-up...doesn’t seem to have the first idea what to do with itself – not least when it comes to its much-vaunted all-star cast, the majority of whom are barely even in it. Read full review

The Film StageConor O'DonnellSep 28, 2017
Taken on it’s own merits — or lack thereof – Kingsman: The Golden Circle feels like being trapped in a dorm room, while a bunch of frat bros watch the first Kingsman and tell you it’s the greatest movie ever made. Read full review

It’s violence for cowardly voyeurs who want to make the people who annoy them just shut up in a way that’s silent, sterile, and thoroughly humiliating to the victim. Read full review
