I avoided Kingsman because I knew I'd get far too annoyed with the overall crass tone, overabundance of CGI and the fact that the "homage" basically crapped on the great elements of many classics, such as The Avengers. Some of these elements were what I hated in First Class despite it being one of the strongest X-Men films.

Never Say Never Again

Still as stodgy and dated as ever. Terrible in how held back it was. Everything seems to be based off the one LD era master, just that MGM snipped off the WB logo and substituted the Orion one. Need to snag the BD at some point. Surprising how the overall mix is very muddy and not dynamic. The Dolby Stereo matrix is far better than the discrete 5.1 remix which has virtually no rear effects.
