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:
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.
