After the British director (who I'm still up in the air about) Matthew Vaughn, breathed fresh air into the genre/franchise market with the sometimes near obscene and always wild and free, first installment of the Kingsman, he followed it by trashing everything great about the first film with an obscenely bad second installment. Given the poor reviews and reception of this third films, I prepared for the worst. Don't believe the hype, this is vastly superior than reviews suggest and has nothing at all in common with the previous film.
