Is Kingsman actually good or is it just a meme movie?

it's a good meme movie

good or not it's just fun

>>87774619
It's pretty good at doing the campy spy stuff with gadgets and whatnot that Craig's bond movies refuse to do.

This movie, like anything by Guy Ritchie, embodies every single thing I hate about film.

>>87774619
I went in with really low expectations and ended up being pleasantly surprised how good it was. But I feel like youve already formed an opinion and are just looking for validation

List five of them

it's like a young teenagers/family film, it is easy to enjoy, it's part comedy part spy movie.

the film knows it's full of cliches so it has a couple of strange twists along the way. it doesn't pretend to be a smart film, but it follows a reliable formula and has some strong performances.

for me, it was only let down by a weak Samuel L. Jackson villain, 7/10 flick, higher for younger audience.

The signature shaky Vaughn action shots are so fucking kino

Kingsman was a mess of a movie about a young pseudotroubled dude who just manages to successfully stumble through any obstacle thrown at him.

Its only redeeming quality was the church fight and the intro. Villain was cliché and unfunny (just because it's Sam Jackson lisping doesn't mean it's hilarious).

I had no idea whether this movie was an action movie, a satire, comedy or actual spy movie. It attempts to go into all these directions, which ultimately just leaves it messy without any real commentary about its underpresented elements.

None of the ideas presented in this movie is truly intriguing; the villain's big bad evil plan is ridiculously "nonmenacing", the good guys are just what you'd expect a secret spy to be (classy, tactical, secretly armed to the teeth), the spy school is such an obviously underexecuted cliché I almost stopped watching and its all drawn forward by some annoying main character with no likeability.

I compare this to a similar movie like Baby Driver, and really see how hit and miss this movie really was. I legitimately felt like I was watching a real-action adaptation of those spy shows you'd find on old Cartoon Network.

>implying kick ass wasn't good

I know lots of things get called this, but it's Reddit: the Movie. That ebin "shoot le hateful christians xD" scene seals it.

>>87774619
It's good, it has a meme scene or two.

>>87774619
it's a meme movie. that main church point is a result of such a massive plot contrivance that it brings down the entire movie, the rest of which wasn't that good to begin.

What would be the impact if this was a Mosque and he proceeded to massacre all the Muslims inside?

>>87774619
Pretty fun movie, though a little edgy

>>87777540
Would never happen, he's a British spy, sworn to protect all Muslims

>I had no idea whether this movie was an action movie, a satire, comedy or actual spy movie
it definitely wasn't an actual spy movie
it was a satirical comedy with action scenes

does that hurt your head?

>>87776706
I agree but you redditspaced so fuck you. much like Kick-Ass, this film is all over the place tonally and genre-wise. I don't know why normies appreciate this shit so much but maybe I'm just being autistic.

>>87776823
What kind of bothers me the most in this clip is how the two guys in the back at the end of it don't even react and just slowly turn to start their own fight.

I understand there's a narrative reason to sort of justify it, but it still just looks bad.

It's a flick. A joint, even.

You're like one of those idiots that speak ebonics so no one will mistake them for "acting white" or "having a brain".

>>87774619
The special effects look positively terrible. I cringed at that trailer.

>>87774619
I don't understand this movie, who wanted it made? Who does it appeal to and who went to see it? I have extreme prejudice against poncy British figs and chavs, is it possible to enjoy it?

>>87779138
there's something strange about her... i mean she's flatty and got strange face but at same time kinda arousing and i can't stop staring at her

>>87776706
The film doesn't take itself nearly as seriously as you do and that's your problem with it. It isn't trying to be a legitimate James Bond spy movie and it's not trying to pretend it's hilarious. Its a simple predictable plot that is self deprecating and decent quality at the same time.

Stop trying so hard to compare it to great spy movies or comedies and enjoy it.

I mostly enjoyed it as a comedy film but found the periods of excessive ultraviolence - and the resulting under-reaction of the characters to the situation - to be quite jarring, throwing off the film's tone.

oh no! i have to put two grooms on the top of this cake! i'm sooooooo oppressed!

>>87774619
It's a fun movie, although I might be biased since I'm definitely in the "I hate modern Bond, why the hell does it take itself so seriously?" camp which this film targets.

More like "I'm no longer allowed to abide by my supposedly constitutionally protected religious convictions in the way I run my private business."

>>87781954
What do you expect, the film is shockingly Conservative, especially for a Hollywood blockbuster.

>>87774619
Tone is not good. Just feels over the top for the sake of being over the top. That combined with generic drama makes it eh.

>>87781526
your "religious" convictions are only protected so far as they don't intrude on other's rights

Its pretty damn great.

>>87774619
Its a very fun movie, but they clearly didn't care for overall plot and storytelling.
Its like while writing this they just said, "Let's add an action scene, now a funny scene"

>>87784368
exactly how i felt about it. it's a series of action scene ideas the director had pasted together.
