A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This movie was actually a lot more entertaining and fun than I had expected or dared to hope for.The story was well-written. fast paced and had all the right elements which included action, romance, humor, spies, gadgets and so forth.The acting in "Kingsman: The Secret Service" was good, and they had a very unique and talented ensemble of actors and actresses on the cast list. However, I did find the villain in the movie was a bit too eccentric to really be taken all that serious, which was a shame because it gave the movie sort of a cheesy comic book quality to it.The special effects in the movie were great and very convincing. The action sequences were great to look at and nicely choreographed. The gadgets and gizmos were great and very much in tune with movies such as "James Bond".All in all, then "Kingsman: The Secret Service" is definitely a movie well worth spending your time money and effort, on especially if you like action spy movies.

Astonished that Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Samuel L Jackson were this desperate for money. Somebody do Taron Egerton a favour and quietly suggest to him that he finds another vocation because he is hopeless as an actor. Stupid dialogue and over the top graphic violence. Very relieved I didn't pay good money to see this in a theatre. Kept hoping it would get better but just got sillier as it went on, ending in a puerile scene with the 'hero' getting his reward in the back alley.

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" was produced in 2014 in the United Kingdom, and is a movie roughly based on the hit series of the famous movie spy, James Bond. The Kingsman functions much like MI6, except they have the highest level of clearence in the world, giving them the ultimate control in security and survalliance. There are two movies in the series, and I will write about the first one, "The Secret Service." The main plot is that one of the main agents for kingsman, Harry, is looking for a new recruit to undergo traiyning and become a new kingsman agent. He stumbles across a young man named Eggsy, who was a free sprit constantly getting into trouble with the law, and selects him as his choice to put through training with other students that other agents have selected. They go through many difficult trails, testing their ability to think outside the box and work together as well as testing their bravery. In the final test, Eggsy and another finalist, Roxy, were forced to shoot a dog that they had been given in the beginning of the test, and had trained and built a bond with. Eggsy couldn't do it, but roxy did and became an agent. After their test, they both found out that their guns were loaded with blanks. All the while, the main super villain of the movie, Vallentine, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, had a notorious scheme to install SIM cards that could control peoples minds. He did this by giving his SIM cards out for free, and gave everyone free internet connection. He eventually gathered his friends and world leaders to participate in his plot to destroy the world of everyone but them so they could create a new world order, and control the world together. His SIM cards could control people to kill each other. After finding out about this plot, the kingsman decided that they would stop Valentine from carrying out his plot, and infiltrated his headquarters to sneak in and try to kill him. Rosy would be sent up in a weather balloon to shoot a missile at Valentines satellite to stop the SIM Valentine realized that someone in his party would try to kill him. They were all trying to avenge for Harry's death, as he went to a white supremacist church to try and get to Valentine, but was shot in the head by valentine after his SIM card in his phone caused him to kill everyone in the church. Eggsy finally killed Valentine after a long battle, and made the heads of all of valentines party to explode. When scrolling through the user reviews on IMDb for the movie Kingsman, there are a plethora of low rating negative reviews. The negative reviews all had a few common points which ruined the movie for them. They say that there is too much violence, with masses of people being killed without much thought, and filmed in a way to garner laughter and appreciation. One reviewer even said that they took their entire family to watch it, and were traumatized by it. My question is: why would a mother bring her entire family to watch a rated R British spy movie? This genre of movie is basically all about the spying, training, and killing of enemies. It is not for everyone, but it does nothing wrong and more than fufills the expectations of this genre of movie. I feel that this movie is worth watching because it is really funny, and has a really good story that makes you feel connected with the characters and the plot. If you enjoy a spy theme like James Bond, then you will really enjoy this movie. This movie is rated R, with a lot of explicit language, gruesome killing scenes, and some partial nudity at the end which you will want to shield your eyes from. Even though the story line seems quite shallow, boring, and predictable, the producers have added so many different details and graphics that make the whole movie really funny and memorable. What other movie has criminals' heads exploding in rainbow clouds and secret agents in immaculate suits? This movie is worth the hype, and I thoroughly recommend watching it.

I've never read the comics and I was never a fan of Colin Firth, but Kingsman isn't bad at all. An awful lot of people in the reviews that I've read are comparing this to Bond. In my opinion you can't compare them, they're to different . The film has plenty of action, great fight scenes,Firth is excellent. The story does start to fall apart a bit around the last half hour of the movie , it was like the script writers tried to inject a lot of humour and they ended up overdoing it. The main villain I thought was weak,and the movie does suffer to an extent for these reasons. Still, kingsman is enjoyable if you don't mind over the top action, and if you just take it for what it is, you'll like it.
