Potty mouth language and over the top violence kill KINGSMAN

In the film KINGSMAN:THE SECRET SERVICE, Harry (Colin Firth) says that "manners maketh a man". If that's the case, then he sure doesn't practice what he preaches. For one, he, along with everyone else in the film, have potty mouths. I lost count on how many F bombs went off during the course of this 2 hour plus pornographic action fest.
  I should have expected this type of film from Matthew Vaughn, the director of another pornographic violence fest-KICKASS. The film is basically about a young man who attempts to make it as a spy in a secret agency known as the Kingsman. Based on their behavior, I wouldn't call them gentlemen at all. Not only is the foul language so over the top, but the violence is as well. Case in point-the church scene about an hour into the movie. I should have stopped right there, but regretfully, I didn't.
   James Bond this is not. Not even close. There are some out there that loved this movie. All movies are not for everyone. This one wasn't for me. I like an action spy movie with some intelligence. This is not that film.
I give KINGSMAN:THE SECRET SERVICE a C+ for good direction and performances but the foul language and excessive pornographic violence keep it from getting a passing grade in my book.
