COMMENTS?

I've never done one of these before. Hello!

This movie was absolutely fucking astounding. Brilliant action and humor. Spectre will have to bring its A-game if it wants a chance of competing with this one, IMO.

Matthew Vaughn? I didn't know he was doing this. Good to know!

[Foggle]

It's another Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman joint. I've never seen a bad one!

I was actually interested in checking this movie out back when I first saw the trailer, but I actually didn't realize that it had already come out.

I'll try to check it out this weekend.

The only thing I keep hearing about this movie is the

thing? What the fuck? Are people honestly freaking out over one little joke? 

Otherwise, this doesn't really look like my kind of thing, though.

I guess it's too risque for prudish American audiences. Meanwhile, 50 Shades of Grey breaks box office records.

It's a fantastic film for fans of the classic Bond movies, Edgar Wright-style action scenes, and goofy English humor. But if those things don't interest you, it probably won't be that enjoyable.

I like Edgar Wright, but I've never really been into the Bond movies or parodies of them, and this movie looks like it goes into the over-stylized action scenes with crazy camera angles kind of thing, which has never been for me.

Saw it again! Still great the second time.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I finally saw the movie.

This feels like a movie that was based off of pretty shitty source matetial, which isn't to say that I didn't like the film, as I did quite enjoy it. But much like Kick-Ass, I could easily see this writing come off as being in bad taste were it handled by a less talented director.

I wouldn't say that the movie was perfect. I had some issues with it, but on the whole it was really fun so I'd be up for a sequel if Vaughn returned to direct it (otherwise we could easily have a KA2 situation on our hands).

The original comic book was actually made by the exact same writer as Kick-Ass, so you are 100% correct! The source material is shit.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

You know, I've been thinking, with Matthew Vaughn's talent for turning Mark Millar's shit into gold, I can't wait for whatever crap he writes next, because the worse it is, the better the movie adaptation will be if Vaughn directs it.

In fact, while I love Winter Soldier and the Russo Brothers, if Matthew Vaughn was directing Civil War, it'd probably be the greatest comic book movie of all time.

Trailer for the sequel.

Loved it! We need all he good modern action movie sequels we can get.
