Cardiff Vue seemed to fill up 5 minutes before the start of the film. Even coming in when the film had started.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will not be able to listen to Free bird without having images of Colin Frith on a killing spree from now on. Loved the tongue in cheek acting in this even OH was positive about it. He had read that it had a lot of violence and bad language, (he's not keen on swearing in films) but thought the film didn't have as much swearing as in Whiplash.

Agree that the lisp of Mr JAckson became irritating. Gazelle was amazing as the bad sidekick.pun intended.

Also mssed the cameo parts, may have to ask OH if we can see the film again to spot them :roll:

Does anyone else find that the digit film becomes incredibly blured when doing panning shots?

I was the same, got tickets for screen unseen before these freebies and petty much knew it was Selma, but was too high after this to go and see something different- will watch Selma another time

sucks man, if only the inconsiderate filmmakers had toned down the quality a bit.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Saw this at Piccadilly Circus Vue last night absolutely loved it. Great action and a great subversive sense of humour.

Colin Firth's line about his other half at the hate church got a massive laugh.

Was very impressed with Mark Hamill's English accent too.

A thoroughly deserved 10/10

Saw this last night in a full-to-bursting Wimbledon – people still arriving as the film started and some had to be turned away. I know I am in the minority, but I absolutely hated it – with a vengeance. Had I known what a load of tripe I was in store for, I would have given my seat up to some of those who were turned away. I thought the script was dreadful, acting appalling (Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson and Michael Caine - what on earth were you all doing in a film like this?), plot clichéd. I felt it was a blend of James Bond, the Man from Uncle and Thunderbirds and failed on all counts. I thought the humour was so obvious and childish that maybe it was meant to be a children's film, but then it had so much swearing and gratuitous violence in it that it couldn't have been. So I couldn't even work out who the target audience was! I sincerely hope there isn’t a sequel. I felt like walking out after an hour, but didn’t want to disturb the others in my row who were obviously enjoying it. I felt I have lost two hours of my life! 0/10

I loved this film, it was super fantastic, watched it last night at Apollo Vue London. I would watch it again. The characters and action as well as british humour make it a 10/10

make sure you go and watch this film!

That new Kingsman code says "This is a Heat Magazine Preview. A copy of the page in Heat Magazine is required to validate ticket. No photocopies."

Anyone know which date magazine we need to b*y?

Best film I have seen in a long time.
Great action sequences, funny dialogue, cliched plotline maybe and yes samuel l jackson was annoying but thought it was a really enjoyable film.
