I read in the trivia that Guy Ritchie was set to direct but dropped out. Do you guys think this movie would have been better under his direction? Personally I don't. I think Matthew Vaughn pulled off an amazing job with this film and made it fun and interesting in a way Guy Ritchie couldn't have. Which reminds me, I still need to see Kingsman.

Yes. There was something lacking and it was Guy Ritchie's flair.

Wot was Daniel Craigs characters name? It is in the film to be worked out.

No, the movie is pretty amazing, as is. Drags a little in the middle, but overall a great flick.

It would have been a quirky, bloodthirsty comedy thriller. He did Revolver anyway which confused the hell outta me the first time I watched it in the cinema.

Sorry, let me rephrase myself. I prefer Vaughn's style for this story. I love Ritchie, Snatch is one of my favorite movies, but I just think he wouldn't have been able to improve upon this fantastic film.

I don't really prefer either to the otherit depends on what I feel like watching at the moment. That's of course why it's nice that there are both kinds: theres's the option to choose.
Don't listen to the negative ones; their arguments are irrational.

Yeah I think part of the more serious, matter-of-fact tone of this film would have been ditched in favor of a more comedic tone. Personally I prefer the former.

I think it might. I can't quite put my finger on it, but to me this movie felt unpolished in a way
Guy Ritchie
's movies (the ones I consider comparable to this onei.e.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
,
Snatch. (2000)
, and
RocknRolla (2008)
) don't. That being said, I do like the end product. I suspect it would've been a completely different movie tonally under Ritchie's direction.
