A Film Review on Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Hot 8604 views. 2017-10-28 13:58

This Friday afternoon, I went to the cinema to see the hit film Kingsman: The Golden Circle, a comedy full of action. Should I rate the film from zero to five, I would give it five points. Needless to say, it's highly recommended. Although I have learned the film from my friends, it was still new to me.

In brief, the film told the story of Kingsman agents. Their strongholds were all destroyed by Poppy, the head of a drug cartel called the Golden Circle. Therefore, they had to go to America to seek the Statesman's help. Later, Poppy transported marijuana with poison all over the world and declared war on the American President. Then, by virtue of resourcefulness, skills and devotion, the Kingsman agents went to Poppy's base, got the password and saved hundreds of thousands people.

Kingsman began with the song Take Me Home Country Roads, which is my favorite. When Merlin managed to cover his companions, he also sang the song, emotionally and powerfully. To tell you the truth, I first knew the song when I was in primary school. At that time, the song happened to be released and I decided to choose this one to participate in the singing competition.Therefore, I wrote the lyrics on my notebook and learned them by heart.Ultimately, I gave up but the song - the beautiful melody, the sad lyrics, the simple theme - was engraved in my mind. 

However, today, when I heard the song again, I was deeply moved. By contrast, Merlin's version was slightly different and a bit more tragic and heroic. There, in the rainforest, Merlin wore decent suits and stood on a land mine, singing the song. He sacrificed himself without complaints. From my perspective, that's what a true gentleman should do and he deserved all the praises in the world!

On a personal note, what struck me a lot about the film was that the BGM was well combined with the plot. When there was a fight, there was exciting music. The music was also perfect for dance. To put it another way, the Kingsman agents fought elegantly and they were typical of gentlemen.

In addition, the film employed high technology. For instance, they used fingerprints to unlock the car. Cars could transform into ships when they go into the water. When agents wore VR glasses, they were able to see what ordinary people could not see, made quick judgments and held virtual meetings. Believe it or not, all these things were amazing! Maybe in the near future, we can enjoy the convenience of high technology.

Last but not least, it was that kind of character of gentlemen fascinated me. They were agents. Their missions were to maintain the world peace. Nevertheless, they were also British gentlemen who lived by the philosophy that Manners make the man. When they were confronted with the loss of companions, there was no room for sentiment. The only choice was to shed tears in private and pull themselves together to save the world.

To conclude, the film was not bad, worth watching. Only when you watch it can you understand how amazing it is!

Here are some pictures for you guys!

To be honest, I became interested in this movie at the sight of your review!British humor puts the old topic"agent"as a fire-new means of performance. What's more, I think what takes apart a good movies from other ordinary movies are their plots and connotation. Through your description, I think this movie does well in these ways.Lastly, I recommend you a movie:Blade Runner, which is also showing in the theatre. It is also worth watching!

Okay! I will watch Kingsman: The Secret Service when I am free! Additionally, don't be sad. Everything is possible. Chances are that Merlin will relive in Kingsman Ⅲ. Such a gentleman couldn't die so early!!!

I haven’t watched it. But all the people surround me are strongly recommend to me to watch it. Maybe next weekend I will go to cinema to watch it. But I am very very very unhappy that I have known all the scenarios about it !!!

Even knowing it's a good film, I don't go to cinema to watch it, because I don't watch the first one. Maybe I should try those new and attractive things without too much hesitation.

It can not be denied that the film is wonderful. I don't know why foreign countries can always make a lot of classical films, while China can not.I hope Chinese producers and directors can make persisten efforts to creat more classical films.
