History YMMV / KingsmanTheGoldenCircle

* RecycledPremise: Chemical weapons, a medical facility in the snow-capped mountains, a spy grappling with a serious relationship [[spoiler:and getting married at the end]] -- is this ''Kingsman: The Golden Circle'', or ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService''?

** Roxy and the Kingsman as a whole count as well, [[spoiler: since they all get StuffedIntoTheFridge when Poppy bombs their headquarters.]]

* HesJustHiding: To many fans, [[spoiler:Roxy]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Tequila is sadly an AdvertisedExtra in the main film itself, [[spoiler: being PutOnABus after getting infected by Poppy's drug virus.]] Roxy and the Kingsman as a whole count as well, [[spoiler: since they all get StuffedIntoTheFridge when Poppy bombs their headquarters.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The president willing to let millions of drug users die just to say he won the war on drugs. As pointed out, this includes innocent people that only tried a drug ''once'', people who used marijuana for medicinal reasons, ''children'' who were born addicted thanks to their mothers using while pregnant, and even ''his own Chief of Staff'', who only started using because of the president's demanding workload. (And they didn't mention it, but there ''are'' some parts of the world where pot is legal, so he was also dooming people that legally ''did nothing wrong''.)]] Somehow, this makes him even more evil than Poppy, who's just looking for fame, and [[spoiler:Whiskey, who at least has a FreudianExcuse to back up his actions.]]

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: After all her henchmen are dead, Poppy offers no resistance at all when Eggsy and Harry approach her with no other tricks up her sleeves, and when got drugged by her own virus, she willingly provides them with the correct password to distribute the antidotes before succumbing. Whiskey ends up being the FinalBoss instead.]]
* ContestedSequel: The general consensus is that the movie is an enjoyable action flick in its own right, but not quite has the qualities that made the first movie special.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Tequila is sadly an AdvertisedExtra in the main film itself, [[spoiler: being PutOnABus after getting infected by Poppy's drug virus.]] Roxy and the Kingsman as a whole counts as well, [[spoiler: since they're all getting StuffedIntoTheFridge when Poppy bombed their headquarters.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some think that the Statesman as a whole is underused in the film, with Tequila being put out of action for most of the movie, Champagne and Ginger Ale only have roles at the Statesman HQ. The only Statesman agent with a major role is Whiskey, [[spoiler: and then he turns out to be a RogueAgent.]] The story instead mainly focuses on the already familiar Kingsman faces like Eggsy, Harry, and Merlin, and it's them who get to shine in the climax, not the Statesman.

* {{Sequelitis}} / SoOkayItsAverage: Critics state that this film didn't quite beat the [[Film/KingsmanTheSecretService first movie]] in terms of quality, characters or plot, but is still enjoyable for the ridiculous amount of over-the-top action, comedy and raucous moments.

** Music/FrankSinatra's "My Way", which was used in the trailer, was also featured in Creator/TaronEgerton's previous film, ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}''. It's even more hilarious that Taron's character also sang "I'm Still Standing" by Music/EltonJohn who will also be in ''The Golden Circle''.

** One of the weapons that Creator/PedroPascal's character wields is a whip. Then, you noticed in ''Series/GameOfThrones'', one of his character's daughters also uses a whip as her weapon. Either that's plain coincidence or it runs in the family.
