Read my spoiler-free movie review of Kingsman – The Secret Service (2014).

---

I was only mildly intrigued before, but the great new Super Bowl trailer for director Matthew Vaughn’s Kingman – The Secret Service has convinced me to watch the film. 

It does help that Kingsman is written by Jane Goldman, whose other writing credits include Kick-Ass (2010) and X-Men First Class (2011).

As excited as I am, so far, there’s just  one thing that doesn’t sit well with me about this trailer – and that is the claim by Alex Zane of the UK’s Sun newspaper, that Kingman – The Secret Service  is ‘More Badass Than Bond.’

It’s incredibly hard for me to believe that there’s any other British spy movie more badass than Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Impossible, quite frankly. I shan’t entertain such an assertion. But I will watch this film, because it looks fantastic.

Happy Film Loving,
