It seems Vaughn has made a film that’s very much in line withKick Ass, but with bigger action, bigger stars and even bigger possibility for franchising.

If you enjoyed Kick Ass, you’ll love Kingsman: Secret Service. An exhilarating, funny film with a distinctly British heart.@digitalspyfilm
Colin Firth and Taron Egerton are sublime. Hopefully Kingsman: Secret Service is just the beginning. It’s that kind of movie.@digitalspyfilm
Kingsman: The Secret Service is a blast. Audacious, hyper-violent, stylish, funny and the work of an utter madman. In the best possible way.

Things happen in Kingsman that I’ve never seen before in a mainstream movie. It’ll divide some people, but great to see risks this big.
And yes, there’s a Colin Firth action sequence that comes on like the whole of The Raid meets the last 20 minutes of Braindead.
#Kingsman: by no means perfect, but the last third is just ridiculously entertaining. One scene is ridiculously, jaw-droppingly violent.

Well, Kingsman: The Secret Service is utterly demented. Mostly in a good way.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Colin Firth go Raid-style loco on a room full of people, scored to Freebird, this is the movie for you.
Very encouraging stuff. Plus, it seems U.S. fans will soon get a chance to sneak preview the film as the series creator, Mark Millar, has begun tweeting about a New York screening on his Twitter:@mrmarkmillar.
