If your a comedy be a comedy....

Rating: 2/10 (26 March 2015)

I had really high hopes for this movie, I wanted to love it.. but it was just a huge disappointment.. before making the film they should have really sat down and asked themselves is this a comedy, an action film or etc... you can tell they never had this conversation before making the film.. they want to be silly but have graphic violence which is just stupid.. pick an audience.. previews for this film even made it seem like a good family movie..but it's rated R.. why?? why did you need to put all the stupid things in the movie that made the R rating possible.. you have heads that explode into rainbows.. if you made this movie pg-13 i would have watched it again and bought the DVD, and watched the sequel.. but you didn't you made it R for no apparent reason.. and ruined it for me and my family...
Now for the story.. it felt rushed and stupid.. Colin Firths character Cares about the kid, has kept an eye on him his whole life, has the means to help him but never does.. oh but as long as he has a stupid necklace and remembers a stupid saying the help will always be there if he needs it.. seriously.. but I guess if he helped the kid and his family we wouldn't have the mom getting beat sub plot of the criminal background.. which they only hint at but you never really feel like he is a criminal other than stealing the car.. so I'm guessing because he never used the stupid necklace and saying before he was never really a criminal... or a pickpocket like the movie suggests he is.. otherwise he would have used the get out of jail necklace a long time ago... also like every movie the main character needs to make a huge change.. from thug to gentleman.. only he never got the training to act like a gentleman, but that doesn't stop him from acting like one out of nowhere.. did they cut that scene from the movie?? was it a little too Mrs congeniality for a R rated movie?
all in all this movie was just terrible.. graphic violence while trying to make it seem playful and funny can be done.. but you weren't even close.. it seems like Matthew Vaughn has a huge Tarantino crush and he was trying to get his attention by butchering his style..
if you're not a nerd that loves ridiculous violence you won't like this film.. you'll especially hate it if you're a feminist.. or a woman in general.. unless you like women basically being portrayed as whores who's only purpose is to give anal sex after being rescued..
