Didn't notice the relation to Kick-Ass. Yes, action was similar, but with Kingsman it seemed vastly derailed. Maybe the context was different, maybe the cinematography did the trick in KA, but Kingsman felt like a poor imitation of KA, even in retrospect.

Agreed, it wasn't as good as Kick Ass, but parts of it were hilarious.
And I like the fact that you mentioned KA's cinematography, it was superior to Kingsman in every way.
Plus Chloe Grace Moretz' character was so much more than the young apprentice in Kingsman. So Kick Ass wins there too, hands down.
SGG

Suddenly I am struck by a curious observation.
Those fight scenes ADDED to KA, greatly improving the cinema experience - KickAss would not have been nearly as compelling or entertaining without them.
In Kingsman the fight scenes greatly detracted from the film experience - the film would have been much better without them - it could have been an actually entertaining film, instead of the annoying distraction it ended up being.
What contrast.

It kind of reminds me of how good the scenes were in the original Robocop. I equate Kick Ass to that movie, although Robocop had a different pace to it, I liked how the violence depicted was social commentary, but without detracting from the movie.
Of course, KA is much better, but still.......the violence in Kingsman was a couple of notches past 11, to the point of distraction (except for the bar fight scene, which was awesome - and a bit derivative of the Cloud Atlas scene in the Scottish bar).
So I find myself agreeing with you again.
Ok, so did the Earth just rotate on it's axis!

The bad fight scenes were so bad that I practically forgot the bar fight scene -which was the scene that I had hoped more of the film would have. The film would have been so much better with more of that, similar to River in Maidenhead, or maybe her Terminatrix Cameron.
Did you mean flipped it's axis, or against it's axis?
