(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.
