The screenplay was written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman. The film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton and Michael Caine.

1. Would anyone know if the comic book series this movie was based on had anything to do with the local Kingsmen Custom Tailors that makes bespoke suits and barongs? It would just be too much of a coincidence, right?
2. The opening credits alone with the names that formed from exploding rocks was fun to watch. I knew right then that I would really like this one. Contrary to popular belief, I'm actually easy to please.
3. Matthew Vaughn directed Kick-Ass so I wasn't at all surprised with the amount of violence here. I actually found it funny that Samuel L. Jackson's character was scared of blood. Even with all the slicing and dicing, all of the fight scenes were virtually bloodless.
4. The constant winks at how serious the James Bond movies have become was spot-on. Sometimes we do wish for just some mindless but fun spy movie.
5. I really want to learn how to drive in reverse. That was one exciting chase scene.
6. I have to be honest. I couldn't understand some of the dialogue with all the thick British accent. I'll have to wait for the DVD.
7. Colin Firth with his deadly umbrella was like a lethal Mary Poppins. Imagine if the nanny used that one instead to teach the kids some life lessons. She'll be firing at everyone butchering the atrociously catchy Chim Chim Cher-ee.
8. Why did they select Iggy Azalea as one of the celebrities that will re-populate the earth? Somebody must have enjoyed the Pu$$y video.
9. Taron Egerton looked so nimble and tiny that I wanted to pick him up and keep him in my pocket. Err...
10. Hey, I actually thought it was a bulldog, too. I really need to spend more time with animals.
11. Was I the only one who wished for bionic sword legs as awesome as Gazelle's?
12. Talk about blatant product placements. Almost everything worn here were by Adidas. I've never seen this many striped jackets since Glee. Really cool stuff, though. Where can I buy them? Made me crave for a McDonald's Happy Meal, too.
13. The funniest thing here was that even with all the graphic violence, the only scene that was too much for me to handle that I had to close my eyes was when he was asked to shoot the pup. Nooooo!
