I thought the trailer looked laughable. I checked it out on Rotten Tomatoes to see how incredibly low its rating was and was surprised to see stellar reviews. GOUCONN was spot on - not going to win awards but I was thoroughly engaged.

Just watched Kingsmen. Very much worth renting. Only thing I didn't like is Jackson's lisp.

You are right...forgot about the lisp. Very annoying...

Haven't seen the movie, but I remember reading about why Jackson decided to give his character a lisp. Here's what the director said:

When he first did it, I was like, ‘Oh God, that’s not good.’ Because I was a little bit paranoid, because, I was worried he took it too far. Sam explained to me that when he was younger, he had a lisp and a stutter, and it really drove him on to want to be famous, to succeed. He said, ‘Look, trust me, if you were a guy, if you’re Steve Jobs and you’ve got everything -- you’ve got money, you’ve got power, you’ve got everything you want -- but you’ve still got this God damn stutter and lisp, and people aren’t 100% taking you seriously, it can take you to that next level of going mad. And I thought that was great, because … he played this character as someone who had slowly lost the line between, you know, what should happen and shouldn’t happen, which I thought was a great way of doing it.

I enjoyed. Bad*ss scene in the church. Although that and a few other moments were over the top for what I thought would be a Bond for youngsters. Definitely entertaining, worth a watch and likely sequalized.

Solid action flick. Don't watch too closely because there are plot holes.
