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!
That's about the only thing I appreciated about Kingsman. The rest was dreadful and in poor taste.
My current 10 favorite:
1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK
I watched it today for the first time, and it just felt like one of those spin off 1960's Bond movies, Matt Helm etc with cartoon violence very similar to Guy Ritchie I felt (Sherlock Holmes).
Enjoyable certainly, I won't be rushing to watch it a second time, although I will see the sequel when it lands on Sky TV here in the UK.

I saw Kingsmen on a friend's HBO, and was glad I didn't pay for the experience. It makes AVTAK look like a Len Deighton classic.

At certain times. :v
Me too, though I recently bought the Blu-ray. Looking forward to finally seeing it!
Just added the OHMSS lookalike cardigan, it sold out during the sale but I kept checking back and it popped up it my size (thought I had missed it)
Shame Firth was bumped off
