What We Think

Kingsman: The Golden Circle keeps the focus on stylish action, tongue-in-cheek humor, and old-fashioned spy thrills. There are modern touches, but it doesn’t sacrifice narrative or tradition for ideology. Overall, this one's far from the woke end of the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kingsman: The Golden Circle mostly prioritizes its spy-action fun over ideology. While there are a few nods to modern identity politics (for example, the introduction of a female villain and some American agents), characters are written with flaws and personality, not just as symbols of representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, family loyalty, and old-school heroics are on display throughout the film. It pokes fun at some American stereotypes, but largely as comedic exaggeration rather than ideological subversion. The film doesn’t seem interested in undermining gender roles or core moral values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a mix of perspectives, and traditional figures aren’t relentlessly mocked or treated as villains. The film jokes around with tropes but doesn’t come off as promoting an ideological monoculture. Dissenting views are played for laughs or as quirks rather than serious threats.
