I heard a radio review that said Christians are stereotyped as villains in this movie.

Stereotyped is hardly sufficient. Christians are portrayed as evil anti-semitic, racist bigots, and don’t forget the homophobia. Gratuitous violence with a strong undercurrent of anti-Christian homosexual agenda would be more correct.

Yes, the ‘church’ was more a Westboro farce, but they were able to combine moral truths (pro life sentiments and condemnation of homosexuality) with bigotry. And the cute rear end was another not-so-subtle jab that even heterosexual men prefer sodomy to true sexual relations.

I went with few expectations, but the gratuitous ‘comic’ violence and the anti-religious themes detracted from what could have been a decent movie. The only thing keeping the movie from completing following the liberal meme was a villain who was ultimately an anti-human leftist.

Trying to please (or offend) all, my ultimate opinion was that Kingsman joins a long list of action-comedy movies that succeeded in neither category. I thought it would be Spy Kids for adults, but it turned out more like James Bond does Kill Bill.

It does if you consider the "Westboro Baptist Church" to be christian.
