I like all the songs used but they were sometimes not appropriate I think. Like especially the beginning. The visuals flashing by quickly in a very kinetic manner but the music is completely muted and mellow. Made me feel weird. Especially after the inevitable comparison to Kingsman which is much more action than intrigue, this one feels like it's missing a critical spark to bring the thing to life. But I like that they did it period, it looked great and all that... just missing some ingredient to make the cake rise. I wonder what Guy Ritchie's life is like now that Matthew Vaughn is making better Guy Ritchie movies than he is. Maybe Madonna is a vampire? Damn Madonna stole his life essence!!!
