The Kernel take
A 60 Metascore hardly justifies the theatrical spend here, yet the film's $414M global haul suggests audiences were far less mixed than critics. Sometimes the crowd votes with its wallet against the critical consensus.
Director track record: Matthew Vaughn
Kingsman: The Secret Service (60) sits above Matthew Vaughn's own 56.1-point average across 8 scored films, though it trails his best work, Layer Cake (73), in critical estimation.
Lead track record: Taron Egerton
The film represents a 5.5-point bump over Taron Egerton's 54.5-point average across 12 scored films, but falls short of his highest-reviewed outing, She Rides Shotgun (74).
