Instead, we're given a long action sequence that feels like a live-action cartoon while setting the plot into motion, but still leaving us in mystery. In this opening, edge-of-your-seat moment, Vaughn clearly takes delight in defying expectations, not giving audiences the usual beginning where we catch up with our hero after the events of the first movie or provide the customary exposition that explains the new villain who heads a criminal organization hell-bent on world domination. It doesn't so much take apart the tropes for some deeper analysis, as it simply pushes them to their extreme absurdity and relishes in the illogical silliness of it all.
The fun and success of this satirical comedy adventure is its familiarity with the espionage thriller, borrowing specifically and heavily from the James Bond franchise, while also both embellishing and subverting the very spy genre it aspires to take part in. And for this sequel, obviously going for bigger and better, Vaughn and his crew let their imaginations run wild and attempt to top themselves at every turn. For the next few minutes, the entire screen erupts with impossible stunts and amplified action made possible thanks to the latest in CG technology - literally, what can be imagined can now be made a reality. The failed abduction quickly spirals into vehicular mayhem down the busy streets of London's nightlife, as the undercover taxicab weaves through traffic, narrowly missing every other car on the road, while the two former trainees duke it out in the backseat. Charlie Hesketh (Edward Holcroft, who has somehow mastered the art of scowling with an arrogant smile), a former Kingsman recruit later turned enemy informant, attempts to kidnap Eggsy while also sporting a new mechanical arm with its own WiFi connectivity.
Before we're even given a chance to reacquaint ourselves with Eggsy Unwin (a charmingly perfect Taron Egerton), the rebellious hero of the first Kingsmanmovie, we're quickly thrust into the thick of the action in the Matthew Vaughn directed The Golden Circle.
