Kingsman:
The Secret Service (2014)
Movie Information:
"Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn, Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius." - Written by 20th Century Fox
My Review:
This movie was brilliant! I loved it. Most movies these days aren't as ballsy as this one was. Dirty humour, bad language and random, crazy violence are all in this movie, but done in a sort of elegant way. It's kind of just a way dirtier and funnier version of James Bond. It is definitely not for easily offended or squeamish people because Matthew Vaughn most certainly took some risks with this movie, but it worked out to be absolutely fantastic! The entire movie is just one crazy ride, that will keep you guessing the whole way through, without being serious at all. I mean, the whole movie is about a guy trying to kill everyone, but most of the movie is spent screwing around in the training parts, which just makes it hilarious.
Not only that, but the cast is just brilliant. Seriously, Samuel L. Jackson with a lisp? Best villain in existence. And don't forget Colin Firth, who is usually seen as much more of a tense character, totally kicks ass in this movie! I also think the guy who plays the main character, Taron Egerton, is worth mentioning because he did so amazingly in Kingsman. He really proved himself and I think he did brilliantly. Another thing I think people aren't mentioning enough about this movie is the soundtrack, which was amazing and really well done. It definitely added well to the story and were played at the perfect moments.
Obviously not everyone is going to love it, which is fine, but I honestly thought it was brilliant. The movie isn't very serious and is honestly hilarious. I would definitely recommend it, though it's probably only suitable for people 16+.
