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. ...

Spiderman: Homerun

The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it. Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good! The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie. Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey! For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not hi...
