Thoughts on Kingsman (spoilers)

I really think its to spy movies as Guardians of the Galaxy was to space opera movies. It was very generic in terms of plot, but it didn't take itself seriously at all and had a lot of fun with itself and it wasn't afraid to go over the top.
I feel rather confident the last scene was more erotic than anything in 50 Shades of Grey.
A lot of British hated this movie. Part of that hate a lot of Americans won't get unless they spent time in England. England is extremely classist IMHBTAO. The idea of a poor kid moving up in society is very disconcerting. James Bond was developed as upper middle class and he was meant to live and stay in that upper middle class world. That solely defined who he was. The idea that people can move around is disconcerting to the British and it was very obvious when I lived there they thought that way.
I loved the firework head explosions. I laughed very hard.
I thought there were a few scenes that looked remarkably more low budget than the rest of the movie. In particular, some of the exterior shots.
Acting was top notch. Loved everyone in it. I especially look forward to seeing what the lead and the girl who played Roxy do next. She was so fricking smoking. I thought they really had good chemistry together. I liked how it showed them caring for each other without it being sexual.
I did think the shoot the dog thing was kinda stupid. We've seen it before in other movies and I called it as soon as we saw them choosing the dogs. I just think it's stupid.

So did a couple of assholes in our viewing. They called it loud enough for the audience to hear.

Well, luckily, I'm not that kind of a-hole. I whispered to my friend who I saw it with, and only because there was only 10 people in the theater and no one within 5 rows. I hate talking in theaters.

Definitely a fun movie. People that can't suspend belief and just enjoy a movie for what it is won't like it. But I personally loved it.
The only thing that I had a hard time understanding was why Arthur allowed one of those chips to be put in his head after he knew that they caused the scientist's head to blow off. Maybe he got it before that scene took place? But again, that is another place where I just suspended belief.

Even if he did know about it, he probably thought he had no choice if he wanted to avoid the anger plague.

I was disappointed that all the top officials got the chips, like everyone in the White House. Seems like they could have just left them out entirely and not hurt the plot.
It was a fun movie though and I look forward to what happens next as far as sequels.

Waiting for the people to freak out over Obama being evil and being blown up.

Why was that disappointing?
Was somewhat humorous with Obama and made it realistic.
Valentine was either going to kidnap all the top officials in the world or put a chip in them.
All the "bad" top officials got the chip and the "good" top officials liked anal

Just got out. I was thoroughly entertained. Solid action movie that had fun. I hated Samuel L. Jackson. His lisp wasn't even consistent. I thought he was distracting and not funny at all. But I'm sure some people will disagree.
The lead reminded me of a British Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield from Prison Break who actually was born in England but is American.). I'm not sure why you thought anything of Roxy. She had like 7 lines the whole film. It was like they wanted her as a love interest but realized they were running at two hours and scrapped it. Just a weird character for me.

I thought it was a great movie for what it was. There were some people clapping at the end of the movie which I thought was a little over the top. I could see them making a couple of more movies and being very successful at the box office. Just the right mix of bond, austin powers and kick arse. Loved it

Yeah the movie ended, i turned to my wife and said, "I'd watch the sequel right now. I could easily sit through 2 more hours of that." Loved it.
Loved it.

I really enjoyed the movie. I didn't think it was going to be quite so over the top, but it was still entertaning.
I'm curious about this classist stuff in Britain. Wouldn't people who become celebrities go into the wealthy class? Or are they just not accepted as "one of us"?

Just got out and enjoyed this movie. A lot of homages to other movies like Bond and V for Vendetta. I liked Sam's character. It gave it that little bit of comedy to keep it not a serious movie. The church scene was on point though.

This movie was hot garbage. I cannot believe so many here actually liked it. The amount of graphic violence was not only absurd but totally pointless. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be an actual gentleman spy movie or a spoof of one, and missed horribly on both counts.
Colin Firth was decent, but the other stars simply mailed it in. Michael Cain's acting was atrocious.

Agreed. Acting was generally sub-par. I didn't even enjoy Sam Jackson who I normally love. The violence was so gratuitous. Why? I can totally suspend reality, but that was just stupid. I honestly found little chemistry between the "Eggsy" and the other trainee.
I don't see anything to look forward to in a sequel especially since they killed off Colin Firth's character.
