DC Tom Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Wasn't Kingsman supposed to be out months ago? I remember the previews looking like a misbegotten comedy about a delinquent being recruited and trained by a mystery spy organization...then it never came out, and some six months later I'm seeing previews for what looks like a completely different, serious action-adventure movie. What the hell happened with it? Did the original cut prescreen that badly that they pulled the release and re-cut it? I haven't read many reviews of Jupiter Ascending, but what I have seen were some of the most amusingly bad reviews I've seen since Showgirls.

Yes, "Kingsman" was supposed to be released in October 2014, why they moved it back, I don't know. They may have been afraid that it would have gotten buried by movies like "Interstellar", "Big Hero 6" & the 3rd "Hunger Games" movie all coming out at the time. Usually that's a sign that a studio has a stinker on their hands, but it currently has a fresh score of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
