This one was good if a bit disappointing and muddled. There were just a bunch of small moments that felt really off and atonal compared to the first one. The Elton John stuff was funny at first but it went on way too long. Roxy and Merlin getting killed felt empty. Good use of John Denver though. The twist with Pablo Pascal's character was actually surprising, if only because they had zero lead up to it and the uncertainty gave some weight to Eggsy's doubts about Harry being back at 100%. Poppy was an interesting but underbaked villain. None of the action scenes lived up to the church shootout from the first one. The sequence in the ruins was okay, but honestly I think the car fight in the intro was probably the best fight. The final fight with Eggsy and Harry versus Whiskey was good but you knew that there was no way either of them was going to lose or die, so there was no tension. I also agree that I don't really see where they go with it from here if they make a third one. Hopefully they can course correct a bit.
