	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] stays on its toes and keeps its wits about it most of the time (...) The pyrotechnics may be impressive (...) [but] it feels pointless, showy and silly"	NEU
United States	Kimber Myers The Playlist	"Like fireworks, they’re awe-inspiring while you’re watching, but there’s little left to marvel at after the show’s over."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"It is all aggressively stylized, abusively fast-paced and ear-bleedingly loud, relying so heavily on CGI that nothing — not one thing — seems to correspond to the real world."	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[It] is fun (...) so why is it so convoluted and strained?(...) Vaughn’s action has never been better, but this is one story that doesn’t know when to quit"	NEU
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Bloated, inexplicably un-entertaining."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' serves up another batch of hyper-stylised action, irreverent humour and sharp threads, resulting in a film that’s not nearly as cool as it thinks it is."	NEU
United Kingdom	Gwilym Mumford The Guardian	"The visual wit that made the original feel so bracingly fresh is maintained (...) It’s a film that is utterly maximalist (...) An exhausting, exhilarating watch (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"This crazily overlong and tiresome follow-up, however, doesn’t seem to have the first idea what to do with itself (...) A plot that makes less sense the more everyone talks about it (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"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 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jamie Graham Digital Spy	"For all of its niggles, it remains brazen (...) What it doesn't have, so vital to its predecessor, is a character arc for Eggsy and a potent class subtext (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
