Kingsman: The worthy sequel?

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to see Kingsman: the golden circle. It is what a summer flick should be! Filled with explosion and fight scenes, the sequel even though lacks the surprise of the first one is a deserving one!

The movie begins with Egsy encountering an old friend Charlie. Who is now a terminator and action commencing from the word go! The fight scene in the Taxi was a little jarring and hard to keep up with, but it was beautiful. The Golden Circle makes no sense, yet it is fun. The plot is dead simple. Poppy played underwhelmingly by Juliana Moore runs a drug monopoly and wants to legalize drugs, hence she poisons all the drug addicts and holds them hostage until her demands are met. Our leads must stop her to save the world.

The start of the movie was shaky, Poppy wipes the Kingsman and in the process, kills of Roxie, the friend-zoned girl, and with her goes away my expectations of seeing a girl kicking ass in the Kingsman movie. Harry is also brought back to life, which I did not at all liked. It was done due to fan demand and it was visible. The reason or the process was half-baked and Harry was underutilized throughout the whole movie! I also did not like the new characters, Channing Tatum made a guest appearance at best, Halle Berry was there for no reason! Pedro Pascal was the only new character which had a role to play and he played it well. Another gripe I had with the movie is that Egsy's mother and sister seemed to be wiped out of existence!

Now that the shortcomings are out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff, I loved the style and flair of the movie. I liked that Egsy did not leave Princess T and this movie expands on that arc. I found the dinner scene with Tilde's parents funny, the mechanical hand of Charlie was also, good. Oh, and Elton John was kickass. The mechanical dogs were also cool. Channing Tatum's entry was lit! And the Lasso was a sight to behold!

With all its shortcomings Golden Circle is no perfect movie. What it is, is an entertainer. It is well worth your money and deserves a stream at the least!

King Arhur the legend of misfortune !

King Arthur the legend of the sword: Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie. Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent. The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar.

KG please don't make me go through this again F!

Hello readers, I have been down and out for what? A year maybe. But, fear not I am back again and will again claim to publish new blogs frequently! So, I for some reason decided to try a film of the Kannnada language. That film was called KGF. The film is about a rebel who is born into poverty with only his mother (whom he loses early in the movie.). The movie is the first part of the two parted series. The sequel will release sometime I don’t know when. Now, let’s talk about the movie. The film fails to live up to the hype big time! The pressure from the society is what drove me into watching this “masterpiece”, only to find the same old Indian movie formula baked again with different actors. The story has been told several time, it is by no means new. Furthermore, the direction is poor and jarring at best. The action scenes are age old, hero making goons float with one punch, the acting is loud and tone deaf. The side characters have no layer, no motive. The villain is t
