Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015, Matthew Vaughn)

The latest comic book adaptation from the director of Kick-Ass (2010) and X-Men: First Class (2011), two films I enjoyed immensely.

I like Vaughn, and that's honestly probably the only reason I'm not out...because the trailers don't look very appealing to me at all.

Wow this movie was a lot of fun. It's very old school mixed with a modern feel, mostly swearing and violence. I know it doesn't stand a chance against 50 Shades but I hope word of mouth spreads cause the audience I was in responded wonderfully to all the right moments. It really deserves to do as well as the big Marvel movies, even with an R rating.

I didn't see this in theaters but glad to hear it was at least somewhat of a success.

I blind-bought this movie on Blu-ray yesterday because I got some money for my b-day and it was on sale.

WOW. This was AMAZING. I had so much fun with it. It was just a blast. So quirky and fun and tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top and pointedly sarcastic yet reverent of what it was sending up, it just sang to me. It sang sweet, whistful nothings and floated me off into a realm where heads explode and sword-legs slash body parts and English gentlemen kick ass and martinis are stirred for ten seconds while staring at unopened bottles of vermouth.

4.5/5. My only complaints being that it is a tad light on gore for something that definitely goes for an R-rating (specifically and especially when ) and where the hell are all the other Kingsman? Lancelot and Gallahad are accounted for by the movie, and Percival is KIND OF, but there's like 7-8 just completely unaccounted for super-spies that presumably could and probably should be helping our main group fight this threat to the world.

Hulk on the value of making the joke really, really obvious.

The Golden Circle was a bit underwhelming at the box office, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt.
