My teens went to see the new Kingsman movie tonight. Both said it was way too gory & had too much over-the-top violence. (And this is from teens who see & often like R-rated movies.) My ds (who knows/understands my movie tastes well) said I would hate it. (He also said it would make me cry.) He said that the first 30 minutes were so gross that he thought about leaving. (This is similar to what I have always said about the first LotR movies -- when the Orcs appeared, they were so disgusting, I seriously considered walking out of the theater.) He also said that there were about six horrible scenes which, if they would have been removed, would have made the movie a good one. (This is from my kid who enjoyed the first Kingsman movie, even though -- imo -- it was way over the top on violence. I really didn't like the first one, but he did.) My dd liked the movie ok but agreed that the violence & gore were too much. Both dc said that Elton John (who apparently played himself in the movie) was great in every scene he was in. Overall vote from them: a few scenes were good, Elton John was great, & the rest was too much gore/violence/general over-the-topness..... Not recommended. I will definitely be skipping this one for myself.
