20th Century Fox has begun screening Matthew Vaughn's ("X-Men: First Class") latest comic book movie, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and some of the lucky few have tweeted their initial reactions. The majority of the comments sound quite promising, if you love films that take full advantage of their R-ratings, which I do. I'm just so tired of films that play it safe, trying to garner that coveted PG-13 rating. I understand the benefits of PG-13 at the box office, as more people can go and view the film, but films were intended to entertain people not dance for the MPAA. So, when I see genuinely positive comments describing Kingsman as "jaw-droppingly violent" and "utterly demented" I get excited, and so should you.
My favorite comment comes from Empire's
Nick de Semlyen, who said, "
Kingsman is to Bond what Kick-Ass was to Spider-Man." Sounds good to me.
Will be released in theaters February 13, 2015
THE SECRET SERVICE - Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.
