10 Moments Comic Book Movies Dropped The Ball

In 2014, Kingsman: The Secret Service surprised audiences everywhere as a fun action movie that felt like it had jumped straight off the pages of a comic book. The likes of the organisation's absurd weaponry, the colourful, exploding heads, and the infamous church massacre made Matthew Vaughan's movie an absolute standout.

For the sequel three years later, the director doubled down on the wackiness, which is truly saying something, and while this is what made the first movie so popular, things were taken a little too far by the Golden Circle with the inclusion of Sir Elton John.

Questions were raised as soon as the legendary superstar's name was attached to the project, and though most expected a small cameo at best, the Rocketman's role in the movie was quite a lot bigger.

While being held captive by the evil Poppy, Elton found himself fighting off three huge, hulking security guards. Drop kicking the terrified brutes, and caving their heads in on his piano was something that fell just the wrong side of reasonable, even in a crazy movie like this.
