You can not but to compare these 2 films. Both feature perhaps the most unlikely person becoming a super spy and both feature Mark Strong in key roles. And that's just for starters, what does everyone else think?
shareThat's what i was about to say
shareThe only thing you can say that's comparable is the poster
shareFor what it's worth, there has a whole slew of movies where someone comically overcomes their inexperience and unsuitability to become an spy.
Off the top of my head, I can think of:
The Tuxedo
If Looks Could Kill / Teen Agent
The Intelligence Men
Spies Like Us
Our Man in Havana
Hot Enough for June
Johnnie English
It's almost a genre in its own right...
Get Smart and Spy are ones that have made me laugh recently
shareKingsman was excellent!
the evil plan in both movies is to thin out overpopulation (at least according to the trailer)
shareWTF are you people smoking on? Kingman is PG13 while Grimsby was a *beep* R. This is a sacha baron cohen movie with sacha baron cohen style comedy.Nothing like kingsmen at all. Kingsmen took itself waaaayyy more seriously as well. You are depressing me with this *beep*
shareI do agree that they can't be compared, but Kingsman was rated 15 in the UK and rated R in the USA.
But I don't think Kingsman took itself too seriously either, a phone app that sends you into a psychotic rage is hardly the stuff you don't laugh out loud at!
Oh yeah ? read (or watch the recent movie) CELL, "by" Stephen King :)
