The premiere of Kingsman: The Golden Circle was hosted by the BEST, VOX Cinemas! ❤️. The movie was shown in the biggest screen, Virgin Radio MAX! 😱
Also, they was giving out some (awesome) free prizes! iPhones and Opera Tickets from Du! Products from The Art of Shaving 😍. All you had to do was share a secret with the audience. Of course, I too chicken to do that. But! Let me just say, I think Virgin's Brent Black really likes me- because I really like him- because after 9 people divulged their secrets (and 3 of them won iPhones), he selected 5 people from the audience to win tickets to the Opera! He walked right up to the row mum and I were sitting in.... and selected a person from the back 😭. Then, he started walking again, and I thought all hope was lost. But in a surreal moment, he tapped me and said "you. Look like a lady who would enjoy the Opera". Yes, YES, YES! Thank you, Brent Black 😭❤️❤️
And without further rambling on my part, the (short) review for Kingsman: The Golden Circle:
{Synopsis: When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, the Kingsman's journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US. These two elite secret organizations must band together to defeat a common enemy.}

Starring: Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, Jeff Bridges, Pedro Pascal
Run-time: 2h 21m
The movie was fast paced and bloody classy from the first moment. I felt that it stayed true to the style of the previous: humorous, (comic-ly) gruesome, lots of damn good fighting, ((an American big bad)) and a whole lot of well tailored suits 😍 (those suits, man. Those gloriously well-tailored suits.). It was interesting how an ethical dilemma and a legal problem were tackled by different people and their motivations for doing so. It kind of makes you wonder what you would've done, had you been in a position of power.
Furthermore, I loved how there were scenes that were a nod to the previous movie. I just loved those. Especially scenes involving Harry Hart. My feels were through the roof. Also, Agent Whisky was too cool. Too cool, man. His style, his skill- mum always wanted to learn the lasso, so she was also quite taken with Agent Whisky.
I know it's highly impractical and highly clichè, but I was holding out hope for Roxy and Eggsy, but now....
Finally, although I thought the movie was really great, I feel like there was a bit too much going on? I can't really extplain what I mean, but it felt a bit crowded. Also, Halle Berry's and Channing Tatum's characters need more screen time.
But I'm definitely super excited for the next instalment of Kingsmen.
Perhaps, this is the end of the beginning.
Once again, a MASSIVE thank you to VOX Cinemas, Du, The Art of Shaving & Empire Movies for hosting this premiere 😍✨
