The highly anticipated “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” finally arrived in theaters on Sept. 22. The sequel to “Kingsman: The Secret Service” has everything fans could wish for, including puppies, Elton John and a drug lord with a 1950s themed hideout.

The movie follows Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton) and his life after becoming a full-fledged Kingsman secret agent. The movie begins with a former trainee attacking Eggsy and attempting to steal the Kingsman agency’s secrets. This event sets off a domino effect that ultimately leads to the demise of the entire Kingsman agency.

The only two Kingsman to survive are Eggsy, who was having dinner with his girlfriend and her parents, and Merlin (Mark Strong), whose address was not in the Kingsman system. The two remaining Kingsman follow the “Judgement Day” protocol and find themselves in Kentucky.

In Kentucky, the two meet Tequila (Channing Tatum), Ginger (Halle Berry) and the rest of the Statesmen, the American division of the top-secret super spy network, who are led by Champagne (Jeff Bridges).

The journey leads to the discovery of Poppy (Julianne Moore), a drug lord queen of the world planning to gain the recognition she deserves by infecting her customers with an extremely deadly virus. Eggsy and Merlin, along with their new allies and an unexpected old friend, set out to stop her and save the world once again.

The movie is filled with the insane fighting sequences, witty banter and suave characters that are expected from the Kingsman franchise. There are less characters compared to the original movie but the sequel certainly contains more deaths. The issue of human morality is presented, as well as how much human life is valued despite whose life it may be.

Writers Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman created another outrageous storyline that goes off track at times but is still easy to follow and enjoy. That said, the pacing of the movie was odd; it was either too fast or too slow. The characters were in Tennessee one second and Italy the next, or they spent a whole fifteen minutes sitting in one location.

A major highlight of the movie were the props and set design. The outrageous weapons included a gun disguised as a suitcase and a bulletproof umbrella that allows the user to see through it digitally, and Poppy’s 1950s themed hideout was to die for!

The music was also a major plus. It added depth and meaning to certain scenes as well as provided new songs for audiences to put on their playlists. Another cool aspect were scenes filmed in a smooth, fluid motion rather than the typical shaky sequences seen in average action movies.

The movie is a seven out of ten, only because of minor discrepancies here and there. Overall, the movie is enjoyable and worth seeing.
