@@leonardodavid4670 She's already got reactions to all six originals plus Rogue One on the channel. Now, one that I do recommend she should check out is Andor.
The moment I saw this was premiering I said out loud "Oh she's gonna LOVE this one" Kingsman is SO GOOD and hits all the notes after seeing all the Bonds to boot :)
The juxtaposition of a man willing to murder a sizeable chunk of humanity, but who can't even see blood without getting sick is brilliant. "See? Didn't that feel good?" "No, it felt fuckin' awful!" 🤣
A definite homage to Bond from the musical stings through to the gadgets but they also paid homage to The Beatles by putting the yellow submarine in the Kingsman vehicle hanger.
This had so much of what you love. A lair, a hidden entrance, explosions, champaign, great music. I don't remember if there were stacks and stacks, but practically everything else.
Fun fact: Sam Jackson models his character after Russell Simmons the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings and older brother of Rev Run from Run-DMC. Lisp and all, Valentine speaks and dresses just like Russell Simmons. Also, the Kingsman is based on a comic book and in the comics Gazelle is a man. Usually I don’t like when they gender swap characters but I really liked this version of the character. Sofia Boutella is phenomenal.
Great reaction. If you look at the story behind the story. He was teaching him how to be gentleman. Manners maketh the man. :) My favorite quote is the one about nobility is not being superior to your fellow man but being superior to your former self. :) All good lesson for the young man. This movie is mixture of gentlemanly conduct with James Bond style action. This is one of my favorite movies and second one doesn't disappoint either. I loved that he came back as gentleman and took care of his mom. :)
A fun, if somewhat crude, fact is that the code for the princess's cell was 2-6-2-5 which actually spells A-N-A-L when looking at the numbers/letters on a keypad.
Taron Egerton had some other main roles since. He played Robin Hood in a 2018 movie (mixed reviews on that one), and has excelled as the main cast in 'Rocket Man' (playing Elton John) and Tetris (biographically inspired thriller).
One of my favorites from 2015. Based on 'The Secret Service' comic book series by Mark Millar & Dave Gibbons. But most definitely not your average spy story. Less like James Bond, much more like the 1960s tv series, The Avengers (not Marvel). It's fun, humorous and sometimes serious. How close it gets to campy is almost on the border of Austin Powers. The cast is phenomenal with newer and veteran actors. This was one of the first films for Taron Edgerton (Eggsy) who did prior theater and television work. Playing the modern kid who dives into an older world while trying save his own life is a pretty cool journey. People were bringing their kids to see this movie because it was based on a comic book. But i guess they weren't expecting the extremely mature nature of the movie and there is a lot of it. The sequel, The Golden Circle (2017) is not as liked as the first film and the prequel, The King's Man (2021) is incredibly good. At least 2 more films are on the way (follow ups for each one). I hope you check out dir. Matthew Vaughn's other work:Layer Cake (2004), Stardust (2007), X-Men:First Class (2011) and Kick-A** (2008) from the same creators of the Secret Service comics.
I didn't know anything about Kingsman the first time I saw it other than it was kind of an actiony-spy movie, but I assumed it was going to be more down to earth. When I saw the explosion that transitioned into the title sequence, I was like "oh no..." thinking it was going to be completely ridiculous. But it turned out to be over-the-top in all of the best ways; just an absolutely entertaining and fun movie from start to finish with some great laughs. I love this movie.
Same then i discovered the other movies, might be a bit over the top with the action or gore that becomes hilarious but it's great tbh, and the worldbuilding that they created with the 3 movies is quite interesting..might not be the most innovative but i love the british vibe of the agency is like we kill but in style
Until watching this reaction I had never given much thought to this movie being another variation of the Pygmalion story from mythology. The Greeks invented everything. Jen, she shoots, she scores!
Every once in awhile, you get a truly great film that comes out of left field and shocks you completely and this was one of those films. Trailers looked cool, but that's what previews are supposed to do, and more often than not, the best parts come from those trailers. I saw this after the fact as I'm an old school Bond fan, and while I wasn't super excited to see this at theaters, at home I said why not(decent looking spy film)? One of the best movies I've seen in the last 10 years, and to this day that church scene is one of the best in cinema history. And as I've stated before, Hollywood doesn't know when to quit, and the sequel is the perfect example of that, not the worst movie I've ever seen, but nothing close to the first.
@tonibaker3823 20th century films (previously 20th Century Fox or Fox Studios now part of Disney) and Marv studios are both at least partially American owned, with the financing coming from the fully American owned 20th CF. It was the studio's insistence on certain things that made the sequel a lesser product. So you know, it was a Hollywood studio shitting on the director's vision (regardless of where he's located). Not very good at understanding what goes into creating films are you? Or at least where the money for a sequel with a significantly increased budget and a cast of tons of popular actors (read expensive) comes from. What urinal, sorry, You're a peeing, oops European drugs are you on?
Such a fun reaction, Miss Jen. Definitely an homage to Bond. But a slight homage to Michael Caine's Harry Palmer spy movies of the 60's. Perhaps even a little reminder of Mr. Steed in the 60's TV show called The Avengers.
I was going to say pretty much the same thing. There were quite a bit of 60s over-the-top spy movies that even Austin Powers got a lot of its influences from. I think it's time the reactors check out those gems.
Missed this at the cinema, but a friend highly recommended it to me when it was released for home consumption. I was unsure about it because huge recommendations often turn out disappointing, but as soon as Money For Nothing kicked in, I thought “I’m in.” 😁
👋Good Afternoon Jen, and OH how long I've been waiting for this one!💝These Kingsman Movies are so much Fun and absolutely Crazy too; I know You Enjoyed it!👍
The best part about Jen is she really and I mean really acknowledges the music in movies. It’s partially why I sub to her. I love your take on movie music. 😊
It is very much an homage to Bond. It’s based off of a graphic novel/ comic by Mark Millar. Millar also wrote KickAss which Mathew Vaughn, the director of Kingsman also adapted into a movie. You should add a few of Vaughns other films to your list of films to either watch or react to. KickAss, X-Men First Class.
Oooh, now you gotta watch the uncensored, extended version. It's... well... quite a lot more spicy...😂 Or if you did you tactically removed those scenes YT would have probably demonetized your reaction for.😂😂
Matt Vaughn really hit his stride with Kingsmen, but do check out his earlier movies - Layer Cake (the movie that got Daniel Craig cast as Bond), Stardust, and Kick-Ass are all very solid.
There’s nothing like the Commander in a Bond reaction. 60,000 subs and your 300th video upload. Congratulations. Trading Places, Jack Bauer in 24 and more Kingsman? Absa-fraggin’-lutely. Might I suggest a little seen Michael Caine classic...A Shock to the System 1990. Good god. Bloody awesome reaction. Thanks for taking us on such an excellent ride. Champagne wishes and cheers Commander.
Congrats, Jen, on 60k. I totally love this movie. It was so cool to see you, geek out. it was so much fun. Hell yeah, part 2 and 3, please. Now, let's pump it up to 100k.
I love these movies. As soon as I saw you were watching this I said to meself “oh, she is in for a huellova ride!” Seeing your joy during this made my morning.
"Kingsman" Originally, Kingsman is a comic series (in graphic novel format) by Mark Millar and David Gibbons. While Millar adapted the plot to the film; there are substantial differences between the two. The only links between works are some general characters and arcs, and the not so serious (but still modernized) take on spy stories. Millar is famous because several of his original spins to traditional formats have turned into successful movies, for different studios: the Civil War storyline (later losely adapted to the MCU film), Old Man Logan (later turned into the film Logan), Kick-Ass, Wanted... "The princess scene" While the princess scene is a big nod to how spy films related to sexuality (and wasn't well received by many, for obvious reasons XD); the film doubles down on its "ass" take with an extra layer: if you match the password of the door with an old cellphone keyboard you will find that "2625" are the keys that can spell "A-N-A-L". So, yeah, basically the film insists the princess honored her word (if the dialogue or the visuals weren't clear enough). And that would be it; nice reaction, and consider that if you ever chose the path of evil... nothing can be more deceiving than a lisp XD.
60k and 300 ty uploads that's awesome Jen and what a fantastic movie to hit the milestone with 🎉 loved your full reaction so much I had to watch this edit too 🙌 hope you're having a amazing day
Congrats on the 60k milestone!! We're all happy to see your reactions, especially to good movies like this one, so fun!! If you're ever in the mood for something a little different, may I recommend my favorite movie of all time 'Cinema Paradiso'... would absolutely love to see you react to that one 🤩
Hey Jen! First....CONGRATULATIONS ON 60K SUBSCRIBERS!!!! You deserve it! Okay...there is one more Kingsmen film, Kingsmen The Golden Circle, then there is a prequel about the creation of Kingsmen called The Kings Man with Ralph Fiennes. The villain in Kingsmen The Golden Circle is Julianne Moore, and there is a really cool musical legend who does a cameo. As for Taron Egerton who played Eggsy...he appears in the next Kingsmen, and he did a musical bio of Elton John called Rocketman (he sang all of the Elton John songs as well). He was in the animated Sing films as Johnny the Gorilla (doing his own singing again), Tetris (about the creation of the videogame), a 2018 retelling of Robin Hood, and Eddie The Eagle with Hugh Jackman, He is an awesome performer. Definitely see Rocketman. The film was based on a comic book by Mark Millar, who also wrote Kick-Ass and Wanted. Both of those comics also became films. Composer Henry Jackman is pretty awesome...some of his film scores are excellent: Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Wreck It Ralph, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Big Hero 6, and Captain America:The Winter Soldier & Civil War
Congratulations on 60K subscribers, #JenMurray. Thanks so much for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
Really fun reaction, Jen (as always), and a terrific chat as well! And I'm really looking forward to all the great stuff you have coming up soon! Congrats again!
Okay, this show is AMAZING even if you don't like Westerns you need to see this show! It starts with one season of 1883 then it goes to the same family in the show 1923, then it has 5 seasons in present day called Yellowstone... I CANNOT believe that MTV did this show! Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliot, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner... I can't believe the lineup of talent! This is the BEST Western saga in DECADES!
This rewatch is much better with a Pint of Guinness!! 🍺🍺 ... Ok two Pints! I knew you would like this movie when the puppies showed up! Samuel L. Jackson is pulling off that lisp like a champ! 😋 I luv this Spy movie... "James Bond like?"...It's NotThat Kinda Spy Movie! 😁 You're Awesome Jen! ❤️💛
There is the sequel film and a prequel film, both are as good as this film, enjoy. Based on the Kingsman comic book series so we'll probably get more films in the future. -Sage
Jen FYI if you're paying a lot for cellular I'm also in Canada and Public Mobile offers good plans - $39 for 20GB of data, or $45 for 40GB - the only downside is you need to own the phone outright, they don't sell or have plans with phones. They *are* owned by Telus but that gives them good coverage. Sorry if this sounds like an ad, I've just had good results with them.
Anyone want to see Kingsman 2?
JAMES BOND Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5dp_oymDpZRwVEgCMP9fUpks.html
Love this movie, gonna be a good reaction.
Thought I’d mention Vertousity. Early 90 action movie with… dun dun dun… Denzel Washington. Tempting eh?
As if You even have to ask...YES, Please!!✌
YES!!! Please!!!❤💛😁👍
Yes, you should review Kingsman 2, too. Kinda a bond vibe with a little more fun.
@@DocLunarwind I'll Happily Support any Reaction to "Virtuosity" and I think that Jen would Enjoy it too!👍
"If they give it to you for free, then you're the product". Shit. I think that piece of wisdom has changed my life 😂
Ya watch out for bill gates and any of his “vaccines” it’s almost like he’s a real life Valentine
Well, it’s definitely true. Including TH-cam.
The "customers" of anything that is "free" to the public are the *advertisers.* YOU are what THEY are buying access to...
@@chrisleebowers what’s really scary is that the news is also part of that and they only give you the information they want you to have too
If a product is too cheap, you can bet you and other consumers are paying for it in other harmful ways, or someone is.
The church scene still remains one of the best action sequences ever and congrats on passing 60k subs Jen well deserved!!!
I love the family guy parody of the church sequence.
I really thought this was a enjoyable movie, but the church scene turned my stomach. It’s largely ruining the movie.
@@Channelscruf Because everyone in that church were racists pos. If they were black racists my reaction would be the same.
@@christianemden7637 maybe action movies aren't for you. Unless you are like a westburo baptist member?
@@christianemden7637 It's called a movie for a reason genius. And yes, they were making fun of the extreme Baptist psycho's that live in the Midwest.
Just in case you didn‘t notice: the professor is Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)😁
Didn't recognize him! I really need to watch the newer Star Wars movies!
@@leonardodavid4670 She's already got reactions to all six originals plus Rogue One on the channel. Now, one that I do recommend she should check out is Andor.
@jenmurrayxo Please, no!
@@jenmurrayxo Actually they are quite good. They have a different feel to the one from 1977, but excellent none the less.
The moment I saw this was premiering I said out loud "Oh she's gonna LOVE this one"
Kingsman is SO GOOD and hits all the notes after seeing all the Bonds to boot :)
Definitely!
The juxtaposition of a man willing to murder a sizeable chunk of humanity, but who can't even see blood without getting sick is brilliant.
"See? Didn't that feel good?"
"No, it felt fuckin' awful!" 🤣
"Thank you for such a...happy meal."
The delivery on that line is...perfect, and cracks me up every time. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I love how excited JEN gets about lairs, and secret rooms...
A definite homage to Bond from the musical stings through to the gadgets but they also paid homage to The Beatles by putting the yellow submarine in the Kingsman vehicle hanger.
This movie was such an unexpectedly refreshing surprise. More fun than so many Bond movies, with a similar feel to them but cranked up to eleven.
I liked the reference they made to the tv show "Get Smart". The main character on that show had a shoe phone.
Mark Strong is just the perfect supporting actor. Awesome in everything.
If you liked Taron Egerton, you gotta watch Eddie the Eagle!
"if they shoot the dog I'm turning it off!" Respect Jen! Congrats on the 60,000!
This had so much of what you love. A lair, a hidden entrance, explosions, champaign, great music. I don't remember if there were stacks and stacks, but practically everything else.
The church scene is possibly the best action scene I've ever seen... fkn love it
Violent. Insane. And AWESOME!!!
Fun fact: Sam Jackson models his character after Russell Simmons the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings and older brother of Rev Run from Run-DMC. Lisp and all, Valentine speaks and dresses just like Russell Simmons. Also, the Kingsman is based on a comic book and in the comics Gazelle is a man.

I loved that he came back as gentleman and took care of his mom. :)
Jen, if you have seen Tom Cruise's version of The Mummy, that is where you know the blade feet lady from. She played the villainous Mummy.
Mark Strong(Merlin) is also memorable in "Kick-Ass," "Stardust(as Prince Septimus)," and "Green Lantern," among other projects.
"She's break dancing!"
Sophia Boutella is also a badass in the underrated cyberpunk gem Hotel Artemis 😉
She was a street dancer.
@@P73-i4n She's in the 2nd Streetdance movie 👍(UK's Step Up)
I like that Mark Hamill is using his a little of his Joker voice in his character.
A fun, if somewhat crude, fact is that the code for the princess's cell was 2-6-2-5 which actually spells A-N-A-L when looking at the numbers/letters on a keypad.
this is my favorite role for Mark Strong...he often plays evil bad guys but he really shone as Merlin in this one and The Golden Circle (Kingsman 2)!!
Taron Egerton had some other main roles since. He played Robin Hood in a 2018 movie (mixed reviews on that one), and has excelled as the main cast in 'Rocket Man' (playing Elton John) and Tetris (biographically inspired thriller).
@@BenjWarrant That film went downhill from the start.
I'll get my coat.
You've made me want to watch Robin Hood again but I recall I liked it a lot!
Thanks for another good one, Jen! I first saw Sofia Boutella(Miss swordlegs) in "Star Trek: Beyond." I've read that she has a background as a dancer.
Destroying the world to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band's Everybody Wants You is just brilliant...
I love this movie. Matthew Vaughn is a great director.
The director of this movie is making another movie similar to this called Argyrle. You should definitely watch Golden Circle
One of my favorites from 2015.
Based on 'The Secret Service' comic book series by Mark Millar & Dave Gibbons.
But most definitely not your average spy story.
Less like James Bond, much more like the 1960s tv series, The Avengers (not Marvel).
It's fun, humorous and sometimes serious.
How close it gets to campy is almost on the border of Austin Powers.
The cast is phenomenal with newer and veteran actors.
This was one of the first films for Taron Edgerton (Eggsy) who did prior theater and television work.
Playing the modern kid who dives into an older world while trying save his own life is a pretty cool journey.
People were bringing their kids to see this movie because it was based on a comic book.
But i guess they weren't expecting the extremely mature nature of the movie and there is a lot of it.
The sequel, The Golden Circle (2017) is not as liked as the first film and the prequel, The King's Man (2021) is incredibly good.
At least 2 more films are on the way (follow ups for each one).
I hope you check out dir. Matthew Vaughn's other work:Layer Cake (2004), Stardust (2007), X-Men:First Class (2011) and Kick-A** (2008) from the same creators of the Secret Service comics.
All 3 kingsman movies have a real good cast and are worth checking out.
3?
@@KaylixYT Yes. Kingsman the secret service, Kingsman the golden circle, and the kings man.
I didn't know anything about Kingsman the first time I saw it other than it was kind of an actiony-spy movie, but I assumed it was going to be more down to earth.

Until watching this reaction I had never given much thought to this movie being another variation of the Pygmalion story from mythology. The Greeks invented everything. Jen, she shoots, she scores!
Music was Henry Jackman, who I think also did Captain America The Winter Soldier and X-Men First Class
Colin Firth is one of my favorite actors. You always believe he is the character he's portraying. This is a really cool movie.
Every once in awhile, you get a truly great film that comes out of left field and shocks you completely and this was one of those films. Trailers looked cool, but that's what previews are supposed to do, and more often than not, the best parts come from those trailers.

Such a surprise good movie this was. Great villain, hates blood and has a lisp. Love it.
Such a fun reaction, Miss Jen. Definitely an homage to Bond. But a slight homage to Michael Caine's Harry Palmer spy movies of the 60's. Perhaps even a little reminder of Mr. Steed in the 60's TV show called The Avengers.
I was going to say pretty much the same thing. There were quite a bit of 60s over-the-top spy movies that even Austin Powers got a lot of its influences from. I think it's time the reactors check out those gems.
In the original comic, the actual Mark Hamill is kidnapped. In this movie, the professor is played by Mark Hamill.
Missed this at the cinema, but a friend highly recommended it to me when it was released for home consumption. I was unsure about it because huge recommendations often turn out disappointing, but as soon as Money For Nothing kicked in, I thought “I’m in.” 😁
The dialog in this movie is so clever and you’re right this is a James Bond movie with class.
Jen, no tie today for the classy Mcdonald’s meal? glad you watched Bond series first. congrats on 60K!
Oh you're right! Lol sometimes I forget
Mark Millar just puts out quality concepts in every genre he dabbles in. FYI: This is a comic book movie.
Fun fact: The Kingsman tailor shop is on Savile Row. In Doctor No, Bond mentions to Felix Leiter that he got his suit from his tailor on Savile Row.
Very good to see you in spy mode again. I feel safe when I know you're on the job. Merry Christmas Jen.
First thought, before watching your reaction: it’s about damn time!
I’m hoping you love it like I do. Time to dive in!
This hologram glasses meeting could have been a hologram glasses e-mail.
👋Good Afternoon Jen, and OH how long I've been waiting for this one!💝These Kingsman Movies are so much Fun and absolutely Crazy too; I know You Enjoyed it!👍

The particularly Bondesque noise you are hearing is probably an EmMaj9, known to guitarists as the James Bond chord.
Matt Vaughn really hit his stride with Kingsmen, but do check out his earlier movies - Layer Cake (the movie that got Daniel Craig cast as Bond), Stardust, and Kick-Ass are all very solid.
Layer Cake (2004) is good. UK crime / gangsters.

Hell yeah, part 2 and 3, please.
Now, let's pump it up to 100k.
29:39 There’s a bonus feature that shows how the fight scenes are expertly edited to LOOK like a single shot but actually aren’t.
"this looks very something"
she has a way with words
If you enjoyed Taron in this one, you might also enjoy Rocketman - a really good slightly fantastical biopic where he plays Elton John.
Such a fun movie. Definitely one of my favorites in 2014. 👍💯
I had no idea it was so much fun!! Loved it!
Great watch, Jen Fun live chat. 👏
Excellent reaction from a beautiful reactor. Thanks for the everything that you do. You help me in ways that you can even imagine
I love this movie! Colin Firth and Taron Egerton are awesome.
7:30: Harry Hart! In my head, he is the secret child of John Steed and Emma Peel. Something about that umbrella.....😁😁
I love these movies.
As soon as I saw you were watching this I said to meself “oh, she is in for a huellova ride!”
Seeing your joy during this made my morning.
Hi Jen. If you're interested the music at the start of the movie is called "Money for Nothing" by the band Dire Straits.
"Kingsman"
Originally, Kingsman is a comic series (in graphic novel format) by Mark Millar and David Gibbons. While Millar adapted the plot to the film; there are substantial differences between the two. The only links between works are some general characters and arcs, and the not so serious (but still modernized) take on spy stories.
Millar is famous because several of his original spins to traditional formats have turned into successful movies, for different studios: the Civil War storyline (later losely adapted to the MCU film), Old Man Logan (later turned into the film Logan), Kick-Ass, Wanted...
"The princess scene"
While the princess scene is a big nod to how spy films related to sexuality (and wasn't well received by many, for obvious reasons XD); the film doubles down on its "ass" take with an extra layer: if you match the password of the door with an old cellphone keyboard you will find that "2625" are the keys that can spell "A-N-A-L".

The first two are great. The King's Man is in the same universe and is the best of them. Amazing film.

7:06 Jen googling what 'tits up' means. Lol
Yes, you HAVE to watch the sequel. So correct, this was wall-to-wall James Bond style secret agent vs. villain stuff. Right up your alley!
40:46 just need to WHAAAT 🤣
That opening tune is Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing." Great song!
That's Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker, The Joker, etc.) being tied up in the cabin at the beginning.
You should react to 'Smokin' Aces,' next. It's a very good Action movie.
Okay, this show is AMAZING even if you don't like Westerns you need to see this show! It starts with one season of 1883 then it goes to the same family in the show 1923, then it has 5 seasons in present day called Yellowstone... I CANNOT believe that MTV did this show! Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliot, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner... I can't believe the lineup of talent! This is the BEST Western saga in DECADES!
This rewatch is much better with a Pint of Guinness!! 🍺🍺 ... Ok two Pints! I knew you would like this movie when the puppies showed up! Samuel L. Jackson is pulling off that lisp like a champ! 😋 I luv this Spy movie... "James Bond like?"...It's NotThat Kinda Spy Movie! 😁 You're Awesome Jen! ❤️💛
They had to cover up all the bloody explosions, which is why we get the funny head explosions
Once again, a great movie to react to🙏
10:21 Sorry, Jen. There isn't "secret, hidden door." Will a secret, hidden elevator do?
There is the sequel film and a prequel film, both are as good as this film, enjoy. Based on the Kingsman comic book series so we'll probably get more films in the future.

Hope it's the unedited version!😂
26:36 PLEASE watch 24, no one does anymore, it’s a great show and way ahead of its time
Jen FYI if you're paying a lot for cellular I'm also in Canada and Public Mobile offers good plans - $39 for 20GB of data, or $45 for 40GB - the only downside is you need to own the phone outright, they don't sell or have plans with phones. They *are* owned by Telus but that gives them good coverage. Sorry if this sounds like an ad, I've just had good results with them.
So ... we know now how conquer Jen's heart (and mind):
1. Wear a proper suit
2. Have a secret lair
3. Be one of the good guys (optional).
