20th Century Fox has begun screening Matthew Vaughn's ("X-Men: First Class") latest comic book movie, Kingsman: The Secret Service , and some of the lucky few have tweeted their initial reactions. The majority of the comments sound quite promising, if you love films that take full advantage of their R-ratings, which I do. I'm just so tired of films that play it safe, trying to garner that coveted PG-13 rating. I understand the benefits of PG-13 at the box office, as more people can go and view the film, but films were intended to entertain people not dance for the MPAA. So, when I see genuinely positive comments describing Kingsman as "jaw-droppingly violent" and "utterly demented" I get excited, and so should you.
#Kingsman: by no means perfect, but the last third is just ridiculously entertaining. One scene is ridiculously, jaw-droppingly violent.

@NickdeSemlyen Totally agree - like Kick Ass it's both a knowing throwback and a great 'how extreme can we take this?' example of the genre

Most important of all: #Kingsman has many appearances from a ridiculously cute pug.

Kingsman is to Bond what Kick-Ass was to Spider-Man. Lots of silliness, jawdropping violence and a well-timed anal-sex joke.

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.

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

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

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.
— Chris Hewitt (@ChrisHewitt) November 13, 2014
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.
— Chris Hewitt (@ChrisHewitt) November 13, 2014
Wow I had no idea KINGSMAN was going to be a hyper-violent, hard-R type movie.

THE SECRET SERVICE - Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.
