Thankfully, I watched this a week later.  Some people already warned me about how the ground meat was made.  I said, "Oh, just like SWEENEY TODD."  "No, Sweeney Todd was tamer."

So I prepared my stomach for it.  I just came from three days of asthma and body malaise.  I wasn't totally well, but I didn't eat any kind of meat, so I won't regurgitate or anything to that effect.

When the mincer was shown, I wasn't that grossed out. It was still shocking, but at least it was not enough to make me throw up.

The situation of the movie reminded me a lot of things, including one of RJ's favourite John Denver songs sang by Merlin(Mark Strong).

The movie has lots of expletives, innuendos, et cetera, so this is not really for children, but it has a lot of exciting scenes.

There was one character who did not work for the dark side, but he thought he was doing the right thing by eradicating what he thought were people who did not have the right to live.  Sigh... 

Anyways, there were many "funny" parts too, if you are not going to think too much, but of course if you would...

You will love Elton John here, if you don't already.

You will also have extra respect for Mark Strong's character, Merlin.

I can't wait for the sequel(there's a teaser, so if you have patience, do wait for it) and part of me is wishing someone would be back in that sequel and would fall in love with Agent Tequila.

Even if it's a hateful character, I love Julianne Moore's portrayal of Poppy.

Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges and Channing Tatum are welcome additions to the series.

Pedro Pascal was very sleek here and played his part well.

Colin Firth played the older Galahad well.  It is interesting how he's still alive in this sequel.  It's outrageous, but somehow, believable(Or am I just gullible? hehehehe).  

Wait, wait, I am forgetting someone.  I am forgetting Taron Egerton.  He's simply amazing, graceful and the role of Egsy suits him well.

I am also glad he didn't just make "her" just "target practice".

We cannot discount the bit players and other supporting characters.
