Great movie, to bad about the ending

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2015)

It is always a pleasure to watch Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Samuel Jackson. Even if it is in a adaptation of a not so good comic. Never been a Millar fan, to little story,to much need to shock and awe. But as a parody of the James Bond movies, this movie works.
The idea of an initiate saving the world is not new, Men in black springs to mind, and Kingsman is more of the same. Over the top violence, the kind we have come to expect from a Millar comic, corny one liners, and the trust no-one philosophy from b-moves.
The fight scenes are great, stylized and fun to watch, no blood and minimal screaming, so you can enjoy the popcorn without gagging .... Until the whole suspension of disbelief is broken by the anal reference. It does not fit in the movie and it pulls you out of the flow of watching a mediocre but agreeable action movie. Re-release the movie with this bit edited out and you have a good movie, now it's watching 100 min. and 30 min of wondering what the director was thinking .... Shame.
