Highly qualified lurker.
A lot of the issues people are having with this movie are, in my opinion, dumb as poo poo. It's not leftist enough or it's not rightist enough or it's not environmentalist enough or it's message or philosophy is incoherent or wrong or blah blah blah. You're missing the point. The movie is a chaotic, riotous mess on purpose. The people in this thread stroking their beards and polishing their art-literature degrees by claiming the movie doesn't make enough sense for them to nail an expected message to are myopic to the point of blindness. The Kingsmen are both heroic figures keeping the world safe from harm and agents of a repressive class structure. Valentine is both the only guy paying attention to the world being hosed and a genocidal maniac. The people signing up with him are cowardly, villainous, fearful, and again, the only people taking any kind of action on the impending end of humanity. The film ends with a total breakdown in society, mass-murder on an unseen scale, and afterwards everyone goes to the pub because it's all fine. Global warming is still about to end civilization. This is by design.

I don't know how you people keep missing this.
