Retread Pirates of the Caribbean fare. See it for the fun action and retread humor, not for sophistication or originality.

Really Great 83 Points 2017

Kingsman II is a fully-realized exercise in high style, low blows, expensive tricks and lots of big laughs. You could call it a brilliant blockbuster, in the British sense of brilliant: bright, bold, brisk, buttoned down.

Hostiles
