(Image sourced from https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4485568/mark-strong-kingsman-the-golden-circle-elton-john-cameo/ )   Matthew Vaughn, the great kick starter of franchises. The man you go to when you want a stylish, action packed and compelling open to your movie franchise. He did it with the introduction of the new, younger X Men cast with First Class, he did it with a pop culture shocking result with the first Kick Ass film and its record for most goons killed by a katana wielding primary school kid with a fouler mouth than anyones inappropriate uncle, and he did it with Kingsman, the movie that cranked all the kooky tropes from spy movies of-old to 11 in a literal mind blowing spectacle.

Not much happens here, all the townsfolk know each others names, nerdy kids are bullied by knife wielding psychopaths, you know, the usual. Oh and every 27 years kid abductions go through the roof because a mysterious entity in the form of a pants-peeing-scary clown is gobbling the
