This is a great drunk movie. I never watch trailers or read spoilers so when agent pena came on with a southern accent I just lost my shit. Once a DEA, always a DEA. We had a drinking game, but I forgot now cause too drunk.

Finally got around to watching this last night and found it to be quite enjoyable. It drug a bit (unintentional pun) and felt a bit forced, but the light hearted over-the-top action didn't disappoint. I mean, this was by no means a classic that we'll be fondly remembering twenty years from now on rererererererererolled.org, but I'm not sure why it got such a harsh reception. It didn't stray that far from the original.

Nowhere near as good as the first one, but I don't know if anyone will be able to top Samuel Jackson's villain from the first one, not to say I hated the new villain. They definitely tried to cram too much, the butterfly arc was... I don't know just didn't do it for me. They really missed an element trying to lock the main character up, relationship wise, I mean if you are going to riff on espionage/Bond tropes, you've got to have the new hotties every movie angle dammit. The whip fighting was dumb, needed more Channing.
Edit: And fuck Halle Berry, I feel like she has turned into cancer after this, Storm, Catwoman, etc. Her whole character could have been cut, nothing lost.

We happened to just see this for the first time tonight. And... Idk. I know the first one was relatively light-hearted, but this one was just straight up CHEESY. It was such a dramatic change of tone from the first one that I just couldn't take it seriously. Killing off the whole organization right off the bat in the second movie in the series was a bad call, and then when Canning Tatum plugged the leak in the whiskey barrel by spitting his tobacco chew... I knew we weren't in for nearly as good of a movie as the first one. And I was right.
Really surprisingly, they're actually making a third one. Hard to imagine where they can go with it at this point. I guess rebuilding the whole organization with just Harry left from before Eggsy joined?

Rumors have it they are making a 3rd, a prequel, and an 8-part TV series for Statesman. The budgets weren't awful for either film and certainly made money so they'll roll with it as an over the top spy action series.

Just got around to this.
Yeah, echo much of the statements made by others here. Not nearly as good as the first. Too much side plots.
Agent pena was the best part. and, the betrayal sucked. the ending was a big letdown, and anti-climatic. Poppies death on, was just lame.
Side plots and poppy's death. her obsession with robots. where did that go? just an excuse for the drones? I was really expecting some crazy robot related endgame for her, given how easily she gave shit up. She was acting like she expected to die. An army of robot Poppy's? Agent Pena WAS a robot?
President rounding up sick people in cages, and stacking them up was retarded.

I've been especially picky with movies of late, so take these comments with that in mind.
I watched the opening sequence of the fight in the cab and the effects were so shitty and so obvious, and the massive-seeming, pregnant pauses between each important move and counter move was so off-putting that I had to turn it off. It may have been some of the worst edit-special effects combination I have ever seen in a movie that wasn't obvious B schlock.
All that being said, I really enjoyed the first movie - the fight scenes had the same "pauses" but they were used to showcase the violence and the gore and seemed more appropriate.
I am a fan of everyone in that new movie though - Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Djimon Hounsou. I was hoping the bad guy was Peter Stormare (Lucifer from Constantine) one of my fav character actors, but it looks like it may be Rhys Ifans based on some Google work? I don't see Stormare on the list.
Anyway, I am intrigued, if it doesn't lose me in the first 5 minutes like the last one.
