IGNJim VejvodaSep 18, 2017
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as cheeky, cartoonish, and crazy as its predecessor, but it’s also commendably unafraid to demolish what had come before it if it’s in service of the story. The new dynamic between Eggsy and his team is great, and the Statesman prove amusing counterparts to these gentlemen spies from across the pond. Read full review

EmpireDan JolinSep 18, 2017
As ultraviolent as the first film, and as ultrasmutty, The Golden Circle will leave the Kingsfans grinning, even if its characters have less growing to do this time around. Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoSep 20, 2017
With its inventively nutso action, youthful vibe, and subversive topicality, the “Kingsman” franchise feels more relevant than even Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Screen espionage doesn’t come any hipper these days. Read full review

The AtlanticChristopher OrrJan 9, 2018
The movie is too long, too violent, too silly—too everything. Yet for those who enjoyed the original Kingsman, it is a more than adequate second act. To put it another way: first time satire, second time farce. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthySep 18, 2017
This fleet-footed, glibly imaginative international romp stays on its toes and keeps its wits about it most of the time, with entertaining and pointedly U.S.-friendly cast additions. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSteve DavisSep 20, 2017
Like its predecessor, everything about the stylized Kingsman: The Golden Circle teeters just a little over the top: the elegant international production values, the perfectly tailored Savile Row attire, the hyperviolent action sequences, the depiction of something more than just an innocent hint of sex.

The PlaylistKimber MyersSep 18, 2017
Vaughn’s film is overflowing with big set pieces, but all those epic action sequences amount to a running time clocking nearly two and a half hours – and not much else. Like fireworks, they’re awe-inspiring while you’re watching, but there’s little left to marvel at after the show’s over. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandSep 18, 2017
It’s fun, but it’s blockbuster overkill after an already-crowded summer season. Read full review

Washington PostStephanie MerrySep 21, 2017
“Kingsman” is essentially a live-action cartoon, one that aims for an audible reaction and little else. That may not be the world’s loftiest goal, but whether it results in a gagging eww or a chuckle, it’s a plan that usually succeeds. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversSep 21, 2017
True Kingsman fans will appreciate that director Matthew Vaughn reacted to digs at "The Secret Service" for being gratuitously violent, sexually adolescent and politically reactionary by laying all of it on three times thicker. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSep 21, 2017
There’s fun to be had but it’s not consistent and at times it’s disappointing how certain scenes play out. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonSep 20, 2017
The movie needs an editor, or a bartender, to remind the director when he’s hit the two-hour mark: Last orders, Mr. Vaughn. Read full review

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenSep 19, 2017
Sequelitis has Vaughn in its grip. The follow-up to his 2014 hyperviolent, boundlessly inventive spy-movie sendup gives the impression it’s trying a little too hard to surpass its predecessor. Read full review
