It felt like a more modern Top Secret! Just, with a more pompous style

Gentle point of correction: The Quicksilver scene was in "Days of Future Past" which was directed by Bryan Singer.

Also I am in total agreement of your assessment Matthew Vaughn's excessive nature. "Kick-Ass" has that Hit-Girl killing spree at the end. He's a lot of style but not a lot of substance. Vaughn reminds me of Guy Ritchie (I'm a fan) but not as clever nor as fun.

Mea maxima culpa! A correction shall be issued.

I haven't seen "Kick-Ass" yet, although as a Nic Cage connoisseur it is definitely on my radar. Not surprised that it follows a similar pattern, though. Now that I think about it, Guy Ritchie is a great comparison to Vaughn. Apparently they are close friends.

Thanks for the review, it made Rob laugh and he’ll probably go see Argylle this week.
