Djimon Hounsou and Gemma Arterton made for really likeable and entertaining side kicks and they actually ended up stealing the movie for large portions. I liked that Vaughn didn't just make him an Eggsy clone, he's a very different character and much more stern and serious and it works surprisingly well. I also really liked newcomer Harris Dickinson, he gives a really good performance and has great chemistry with Fiennes. ![]() He brings all the charm and etiquette you'd expect from this type of character while being completely capable in all the action scenes. Ralph Fiennes is great in this film, he is as perfectly cast in this role as Colin Firth was in the 2015 original.

I was hoping this film would surprise me by being a different kind of entry for the franchise but unfortunately it was every bit as pointless as I feared it would be.
