Day 18: Kingsman: Secret Service

In my effort to see 365 movies in 365 days, I am counting on seeing some movies in the theater to catch me up.  On Sunday I saw Kingsman: Secret Service.  I wasnt sure what to expect going in beyond that it was not 50 Shades of Grey.

I was completely blown away on how good Kingsman was.  I didn't know it was Matthew Vaughn, I didn't know it was based on a graphic novel, and I didn't know Mark Hamill would be in it.  However this movie was simply amazing.  Great action, great humor, and great writing.  The movie definitely earns its R-rating through violence alone, but tack on some crude and hilarious humor as well.

I didn't really know the name Matthew Vaughn too well.  However he has done some of my favorite movies.  He was behind Kick-Ass and Stardust.  Both amazing movies.  If your family has not seen Stardust yet, I highly recommend it.  It is currently available on Amazon Prime and Netflix.  It is a fantastic and underrated fantasy adventure.

I give Kingsman a 288 out of 301.
