So I wanted to post a comment about how much I hate this movie and when I hit „comment” a red message pop up: „Your comment seems to be spammy.” Now Ik I used some bad language there but it was on topic… So „modafucka\’ moderator”

just to be clear, I said it as an allusion to Samuel L Jackson.

I watched the first 5 minutes of this film and turned it off. I just can\’t do B-grade cheesy movies. In the movies defense, this is perfectly obvious after watching the trailer (which I did after the fact). Still, if the thought of sitting through a movie akin to "Sharknado" makes you want to take a cheese-grater to your balls…do not watch this movie.

This is the review I\’ve felt has better captured the essence of the movie and I agree with everything about it.
It\’s extremely nice to see new talent shine so brightly it\’s pretty much an explosion and Egerton delivered.
This movie in many ways feels like Vaughn\’s best work and he clearly has perfected his craft.
All of the supporting players are on point and the story is both familiar and compelling.
Not to mention the fantastic choreography and excellent editing of the action sequences.
I\’m hoping for a sequel as well.

This movie could have had some promise as a comedy,but failed completely. I should have aasked for my money back. Waste of time and energy. It was completely overdone and unnecessarily vile.

This vile, and frankly wicked film, is everything that is wrong with film -making now. I was shocked that Colin Firth, who has made so many remarkable films, agreed to this violent rubbish pretending to be a pastiche of other secret agent films. A lead with an irritating Jafraican accent, a woman who is about to axe her child, the order by Michael Caine to kill a dog, the most violent scenes where people are dismissed like objects on a bad computer game with the senselessness which enures the young to its unnnecessary swearing and sexual insults, tells me this has been written by immature geeks who have been borught uo with no sense of moral purpose. The incessant music, the images of beheadings and stabbings, – no wonder the world is a dejected and ugly place.My girlfriend and I felt filthy leaving the theatre. Not what we expected at all and my impressions of Colin Firth and Samuel Jackson have certainly divebombed after this piece of manure.

Wonderful, funny, entertaining and it was a wild ride. Firth and Egerton play for keeps and are quite like able. I hope and pray for a sequel!!

What about the claims that it\’s misogynistic, right-wing nonsense (as some reviews have mentioned, including the AV Club\’s)?

I would say this review has missed the mark. Honestly, this film was quite cheesy. Not remotely realistic. The characters were not well written. The plot was quite honestly boring. A maniac trying to make everyone on the planet kill each other…. Save your $ and go see something else. *feeling dissapointed*

I love Colin Firth. He did all of his own stunts after training for months. He is an incredible actor (this publication trashed the magnificent Railway Man – see it. Its a very good movie and Firth is astonishing in it. Firth can do it all.Too bad he wasn\’t James Bond instead of Pierce Brosnan – a handsome and likeable actor, with very limited acting ability.
