Mere entertainment, nothing more.

I'm not a fanatical fan of Bond movies,yet I find most Bond movies are better than this Kingsman.
Well,let me praise this movie first.The leading and major supporting actors(female and male) are very talented and very beautiful/handsome;and I like the sci-fi gadgets;and the fighting/action is exciting.
But here are the things I don't like:
Colin Firth is supposed to be a world level top agent,yet the only two times he wins in fights are with ordinary civilians,one with a few bullies,one with several dozen church-going hillbillies; what's worse is the movie makes a big deal of the fighting scenes.Don't get me wrong,the fighting itself is great and exciting,but when a top agent fights a bunch of civilians, he should win easily,the two fights aren't supposed to be long and exciting.
All good guys kill puppies? When Michael Caine ordered them to shoot dogs,they didn't know the bullets were empty.In these would-be agents' minds,they thought they were going to kill their dogs.So if you have a sound judgment of morality, you are not qualified; if you blindly follow orders, you are a good agent?
The mom's submission to her violent abusive new husband borders on masochism. The only female agent is also the only person who's scared of height; when she finally overcomes many difficulties and accomplishes her mission,its resulting effect in fighting the villain is proved to be next to none.The only capable woman (who's also the only disabled person) is the evil killer.What would Queen of the UK think about the movie?
But I'm not a feminist.Many people are upset about the anal sex in the movie; but I think it is completely acceptable.I don't think there's anything wrong or degrading in two consenting adults doing whatever they do.(Come on, the guy just saved everyone's ass in the world.)
