Kingsman 3: 10 Things We Want To See

3. A Simpler Premise With Less Subplots

Tying into the aforementioned issue about The Golden Circl'e's aggressively overlong runtime, Kingsman 3 could do itself (and audiences) a huge favour by cutting down on the number of subplots, and just focusing on a simple, streamlined story that doesn't bog itself down so much.

The entire Glastonbury subplot could be cut from the new movie without bothering most, going by the general reception to the controversial sequence so far, and that's just one of the many tacked-on plots that could've been mostly shaved away (the other major offender being Eggsy's relationship drama with Tilde).

Just take a Bond movie premise, parody the hell out of it, throw in some demented set-pieces and you've basically got a solid Kingsman sequel. The last thing a film like this needs is bloat and over-complex plotting. The personality is what made the first movie work so well, not a rich, nuanced narrative.
