Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
the princess sx scene was just satire on the ridiculous scenes in bond movies. how are people not noticing that? the whole movie was a bond franchise spoof from the first lazenby look a like on screen to the grand world ending finale.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

From the mouth of Matthew Vaughn: "Even marketing it, it's been a real challenge to get across... the BBC when they did their 2015 preview, they said "the Bond spoof".

spoof is the wrong word true.
its superior to what that word conjures.

Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
The material was a lot less consistent than Kick-Ass, and I was a bit disappointed by the final act, but this was assured, audacious and clever enough to make up for it. It's great fun watching Firth dishing out unspeakable violence as a suave super spy, and Taron Egerton also stood out as the hot-headed but well-meaning lead character. Together with its colourful villains and electric set pieces, this was a thoroughly entertaining homage/send-up of the James Bond films.
8/10

Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Generally speaking I really enjoyed this, it was slickly made and consistently entertaining.
However, I do have to say that they failed to give this film an authentically 'British' vibe as more often than not it felt like imitation rather than the genuine article.
Performance wise I did feel that quite a few of the cast would have benefited from putting a little more effort into their roles than they did but thankfully Colin Firth was on top form throughout.
It moved along at a fairly brisk pace, had some excellent set pieces (the church based sequence was by far my favourite) and time wise it never outstayed it's welcome.
Overall I thought this was a very decent (albeit imperfect) comic book adaptation that did more than enough to get an 8/10 from me...

Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Saw this in York with free Times tickets-cinema only two thirds full-shame!
Didn't realise it was going to be so 'tongue in cheek' but enjoyed the spectacle -couldn't help but laugh out loud at the fireworks near the end!

Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Was really blown away by this movie, went in expecting little but was simply superb! Will be picking up the comic now too 

Re: Kingsman: The Secret Service
I was slightly disappointed with this film to be honest. Was expecting great things from the 8.2 I saw on IMDB. Don't get me wrong, was a decent film but thought it either needed to be funnier or more serious. just felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be
