Yes, the last joke was a bit "off" in my opinion too, obviously for the
"Lads market" at the cinema. I was surprised that the agents didn't sit
Around a Round table ?
Far too obvious! They didn't need one, the names were enough for us to get it!

I agree an obvious little notion, but you'd be surprised how many " Young" people
Know little of the legend of King Arthur, some know even less about the history
Of WW2. I remember overhearing a conversation in which two guys explained
How Germany attacked Peal harbour and America cracked the enigma code.

My son visited London, Portsmouth and Bovington over the weekend, taking a short trip from France where he's studying for the semester. The UK immigration officer asked him where he was going and he replied to the Bovington Tank Museum, and the immigration officer said, "I wasn't aware that we had a tank museum," which btw happens to hold the largest tank collection in the world, lol.
But back to topic. I must be getting old, because for the life of me I cannot remember the butt gag at the end of the movie.
EDIT: Ohhh! The Princess! Yeah, I don't get that...had I been Eggsy, I'd prefer the conventional way, lol!

I saw on the news the Kingsman launched in China this weekend with $25 mill opening. Looks like the film has been a big success overall and still racking up the dough
Just saw Kingsman! Marvellous. Simply marvellous. And so many Bond homages.... It brought back the fun of watching Bond movies for the first time! Is that good. And, is it me, or it channels Roger Moore and the Moore era more than any other Bond? It felt like that and it felt great.
One last thought. It's the closest we'll get to a Tarantino made Bond (until Tarantino directs one, that is). Samuel L. Jackson is not there by chance.
I thought it was great fun. {[]
It was one of those films you left the cinema, side kicking bins and
Fighting Imaginary characters on the way home. ......... Or is that just me.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I was extremely disappointed in 'Kingsman', which I've just seen. There were some good scenes, but the excessive 'cartoon' violence soon got old and repetitive. Exploding heads with fireworks coming out of them? Really? The only Bond film this had any similarity to was 'Casino Royale', the 1967 version. I've enjoyed some of Matthew Vaughn's movies, 'X-Men: First Class' and 'Layer Cake', but 'Kingsman' doesn't make me feel he's at all suitable to helm a future Bond movie. Looking forward to a more realistic and exciting movie in 'SPECTRE', role on November!
I assumed the cartoon violence was to get a non 18 certificate. the tip

I felt like I was 14 years old again for two hours. Totally MR territory, but I've always liked MR because I had so much fun . I enjoyed the digs at the Craig movies. "Spy films are too serious....bu the early Bond films...". That was so funny.
It works because it doesn't takes it self too seriously, it practically knows it's on MR territory. I think it's also because it's adted from a graphic novel - the action isn't going to be as realistic as other films.

Exactly. It doesn't take itself seriously. And yet, it kicks some serious a**. Great combination.
I'm certain that if you went expecting " Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" you had a
Disappointment, if you went in expecting " Kickass" with spies, you probably
Had a ball. {[]

I think that's why I was so disappointed, I expected it to be fun like an early 60's Bond film, but it was more like the over the top excesses of a late 70's/ early 80's Bond film, but without the 007 style. Anyway, I know now not to bother watching any more movies based on graphic novels, just not my cup of tea. I prefer Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry for my 'cartoon' fun.
Kingsman looks like its going to fill the aching void left by the reboot of Bond into the boring, tortured, un-sexy, gadget-less creature that he's now become. Kingsman's Colin firth even comments on Bond at one point: ‘The Bond movies are only as good as the villain’ which is partly why QoS and SF were such a awful movies - their villains s**ked. Kingsman appears to have all the wit, action, sensuality and pure joy that I used to love in the Bond franchise before they started "deconstructing" him in GE.
I just saw the movie Kingsman and loved every minute of it. It even critiques the recent Bond movies for being too serious and says (as I have said myself) that Bond films are defined by their villains. Kingsman is closest to the Roger Moore era of the Bond franchise and it has the one thing that I miss in the recent Bond films - its ENTERTAINING!
) ) )
I watched it again a few nights ago , my wife loves Colin Firth ( her Mr Darcy) but
Had said she didn't like the look of Kingsman. Oddly enough she sat through the
Whole film ) I could hear deep sighing whenever old Colin appeared.

I didn't know they made movies without sequels these days.
Far too obvious! They didn't need one, the names were enough for us to get it!
Touche!

All week, when I think of it.
Haha brilliant! Now that is a pun that reminds me of the old school Bonds
