Writer/director Matthew Vaughn, the filmmaker behind recent hits like Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, choose to avoid helming the continued adventures of either films in order to tell Kingsman: The Secret Service, another comic book from Kick-Ass writer Mark Miller.
With a release date pushed from October 24, 2014 to February 13, 2015, fans worried if this would be the film finally breaking Vaughn's strong filmography. Turns out, if these recent responses from critics are to be believed, moviegoers should have nothing to worry about when the movie hits theaters.
These first tweets, collected by Slashfilm, praise the hyper-style and violence of the film, as well as its strong use of action and humor.
Here are the first tweets below:
So much verve & invention in Kingsman: The Secret Service. Like Bond's mischievous, foul-mouthed, psychotic cousin

One scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service is so energised, violent & batshit crazy, I didn't know whether to cower or leap up & cheer

Kingsman: The Secret Service is a blast. Audacious, hyper-violent, stylish, funny and the work of an utter madman. In the best possible way.

Things happen in Kingsman that I've never seen before in a mainstream movie. It'll divide some people, but great to see risks this big.

And yes, there's a Colin Firth action sequence that comes on like the whole of The Raid meets the last 20 minutes of Braindead.

Well, Kingsman: The Secret Service is utterly demented. Mostly in a good way.

If you've ever wanted to see Colin Firth go Raid-style loco on a room full of people, scored to Freebird, this is the movie for you.

If you enjoyed Kick Ass, you'll love Kingsman: Secret Service. An exhilarating, funny film with a distinctly British heart. @digitalspyfilm

Colin Firth and Taron Egerton are sublime. Hopefully Kingsman: Secret Service is just the beginning. It's that kind of movie.@digitalspyfilm

These are just some of the tweets hitting the web today. More responses will likely come soon, though, as the movie comes into the theaters within the next couple months.
Starring Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Michael Caine, Taron Egerton, and Mark Hamill, Kingsman: The Secret Service focuses on a spy who recruits a trouble teen to fight in a group of secret super-spies.
