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.
