    Loved it. Oddball spoofs are not usually my thing but Kingsman is absolutely outstanding. I used to think of Colin Firth as just another generic male from the Hugh Grant stable, but I genuinely think he's grown into a very fine actor indeed.

    It's a great comic too.

    Matthew Vaughan consistently makes good films. Was supposed to direct Casino Royale, but he dropped out, but wouldn't surprise me if he directs a Bond film at some point. Hopefully Christopher Nolan will get one first though, with Tom Hardy as Bond.

    All style little substance I'd say.

    Mad Max and Jurassic World all spectacle little substance.

    But sometimes great cinema is all about style. Mad Max was crazy and brilliant on the big screen. It didn't need a script by William Goldman, as it was all about the visual.

    In a reverse way, Jurassic World had a fair bit of visual, but was let down by the laziest, most cliche ridden script that I can recall for quite some time, full of contrivance and gaping plot holes. It could have been written by a 15 year old drama student. It really was awful.
