If Kingsman was a clear take on James Bond by Vaughn, with a free interpretation of the eponym comic books, this one feels closer to Mission Impossible with the added layer of some of the adventures being written by one of the characters. It’s not a new concept by any means, but the directing talent of Vaughn gives hope for a compelling story, and crazy action scenes.

That’s what made the first Kingsman a cult-classic, and seeing that Vaughn still applies himself to creating perfectly choreographed scenes with colorful visuals and a love for symmetry is encouraging. However, we know he needs a bit of restrain, because when his hands are free it results in movies like the second Kingsman movie, which was too much of a good thing in our opinion, especially story-wise. It kind of dissolved into meaningless action scenes at the end without the impact it had in the first one.

Let’s hope this is the case here, and that we get all his extravagance with a clear direction. Moreover, the theme of the movie revolves mostly around Bryce Dallas Howard’s character and her misadventures with Sam Rockwell, which is a good starting point, but it needs to have some sort of twist around the second act to keep us engaged.
