This is the second film of the Kingsman franchise, and on this form, not the last.
Yes it’s time to release our 14-year-old selves and suspend disbelief for 141 minutes in our busy lives.

The writers, Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughan, have created another rip-roaring, rooting-tooting extravaganza that keeps the viewer riveted to their seats. The fantastic soundtrack matches the action brilliantly, raising your pulse rate over and over again.

A great cast, obviously enjoying their chance to overact like crazy, do a fine job of representing their comic-book characters perfectly.

I would especially highlight the two animal actors, both puppy dogs, who are used to great emotional effect.

I doubt there will be any major prizes for this film but you will be rewarded with a very enjoyable piece of entertainment.

The full 5 out of five stars for this piece of glorious hokum.
