I felt so bad messing up Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in the last one! :D Especially since I had a crush on Colin Firth since I was young, haha! So here is one to make it right. It was the main reason I actually recorded this one :D

Hope you enjoy! And I don't get judged for my Colin Firth crush :D

Hey Mary wish you a great Weekend. Thanks for the reaction. Stay safe and take care you all.

For Bond movies, it's definitely worth trying them. I'd say try Casino Royale. Its somewhat of an origin story/partial reboot of bond that's pretty modern (and as great as some older bond movies are, it's my favorite).

Oh and the second Kingsman is definitely worth it. I don’t like it quite as much just because it wasn’t such a surprise, but still a lot of fun. The first one flew under a lot of peoples radar I think, and it was far better than I expected. Great balance of action and very self aware poking fun at spy and action movies, with some incredible fight scene choreography and cinematography. The church scene does have some long takes for action like that, but it has some hidden cuts as well so not quite as long of a one take as it looks.

I'll second that the second Kingsman is pretty good. The 3rd (a prequel) is okay. As for checking out Bond, that's a deep well. There's a bunch, 25 or 26 I think. Some of them are good, some of them are less so, but pretty much all of them can be fun. You can really watch them in any order, although there are occasionally recurring villains or nods to other movies. Overall, the Daniel Craig Bonds have the best review average and are a good starting place, unless you really want to watch the whole entire Bond series chronologically from beginning to end. The older movies are, well, older movies. It's all the stuff you've noticed before with older movies: longer shots and scenes, a more relaxed pace, which can sometimes be annoying or boring. But still, many of them hold up, casual misogyny and racism aside. My recommendation for you (if I might be so bold), assuming you don't want to necessarily watch all of them would be: do the all Daniel Craig movies and maybe set up a poll to see what people say are the best 5-10 old Bond movies to watch. Whether you want to do them in release order or mix them up I'll leave up to you.

I strongly disagree with "Casino Royale"; it's not a Bond film. I'm not a huge Bond fan, I'd be cool with her skipping them (I think they're fine; to me, the value in Bond was before streaming; while flipping channels, if there was a Bond marathon you could just put it on and enjoy it well enough, and kind of check in and out throughout the day. EXCEPT that I think Austin Powers is absolutely essential, and one needs at least some Bond background to appreciate Austin Powers.) IMO, Moore is the most Bond, while Brosnan the best. "Goldeneye" the best Bond... if we're doing, say, 4, I'd say 2 Moore Bonds (although a Connery, then a Moore, would make sense... Dalton's is underrated, but if we're doing 4, we skip Dalton), then "Goldeneye", then sure, we can finish with "Casino Royale". It's a pretty good movie, just not a Bond movie. Then the Austin Powers. (I'm not too fussed about the 2 Moore, or Connery-then-Moore; I'd think maybe a poll? Or two: first, whether it should be 2 Moore or Connery-then-Moore, then a poll with a handful of the highest rated Moores - in the former case - with the 2 highest winners chosen, or in the case of Connery-then-Bond, 3 or 4 of the highest rated of each, with the highest of each winning.)

Trading Places (1983) followed by Coming to America (1988)!!!!!!!!! They're tied together with a great moment so I recommend having Trading Places fresh in mind when watching Coming to America. Also, Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker was the professor we meet at the beginning and whose head is the first we see to pop.

Daryl

Just settling into this one before bed. Another 2 Colin Firth films you may wish to consider for the future are The Kings Speech The Railway Man

Mike LL

Super reaction! Great fun! Sure you recognized Alfred and Nick Fury, but you missed Luke Skywalker??? The kidnapped professor Arnold at the beginning of the movie was Mark Hamill! All the "JB" movies (spy movies and shows) are great, James Bond, Jason Bourne from the Bourne Trilogy, and Jack Bauer from the American TV spy series "24". Even Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) from the Mission: Impossible series. Spy movies is a great action and mystery genre. Sounds like a poll idea, lol. No one will every agree on which movies to see or which ones to see first! Have fun!

What a great suprise, this one is the best imo, I never watched the others (at least I cant remember them) because im alwaays worried that they will disapoint so I cant speak for them, but if you wanna go for the Bond movies, you should probably start with the Craig movies, Casino royale, some dont love it bc they are to hung up on the old ones but even tho I loved the old once and grew up on them I think the craig ones are the best, they have pretty much perfect pacing, but because I dont wanna speak for all of them casino royal should be the one you start with and then you decide if you want the older ones (alot slower) or the new ones that are faster but still really entertaining.

This is really the best of the Kingsmen trilogy. The second and third movies are okay, but I wouldn't expect them to get much better. If anything, you might find them about the same. I'd recommend starting with the Daniel Craig Bond movies. You really don't need to watch the previous ones to follow along. Skyfall was my personal favorite.

Since someone above mentioned it I'll just reiterate that all activity should officially cease on your channel Mary, until you see The Kings Speech (2010). If you're a Colin Firth fan, it's pretty much his tour de force and an absolute MUST see. Won him the Oscar for best actor as well. As for the Kingsman films, the first one is a bit of an anomaly. Sadly, the second film was a pretty big disappointment, and the third, while a bit better, still wasn't anything amazing. I'd be more apt to suggest you watch the Bond films if you want to pursue the spy film genre. The Daniel Craig films aren't a bad place to start if you're looking for something more modern. Casino Royal (2006) is amazing. The rest are hit and miss but mostly good due to the through line. As for older Bond, I'd always suggest Sean Connery above all else, starting with Dr. No (1962). Glad you enjoyed this though and great reaction as always.

I've heard a lot of great things about this movie. The sequel and prequel not so much. I saw the ending to this not sure when, but never the whole movie. I'll check it out later. no hurry

MrHolbyta

The action in the second film is really well directed. The action designer is very creative and has a great eye. He designs the shots so that they flow organically. The Corridor Crew has him on for a breakdown and he talks through the subtle techniques he uses to keep the shots dynamic, but the action cohesive and able to be followed. Don't watch that video until you see the sequel as there are big time spoilers. It's really intriguing to see how they use things like where the action is framed before and after a cut to keep your eye following the action.

Danny Miller

The first one is definitely the best in the series, but they do sort of drop off in quality with the second and third films. IMO. They are worth a watch, though.
