An urban take upon the spy genre Vaughan's 2014 film is brilliant, vibrant and compelling as well as being satirical and at points hilarious the strong character and fantastic action sequences are a joy to watch. The all star cast is fnatastically our together and work great as a group I highly recommend
Positives: Cast is really great and sells the Bond movie vibe (especially Firth and Egerton), action scenes are very well choreographed, not a whole lot of humor but really funny moments. Negatives: Very convoluted plot, ending is too campy and has really fake-looking CGI, follows the spy movie formula religiously.This is a very fun spy movie, but the end and the obvious formula leave you thinking, "What was the point?"
Eggsy, a young-looking boy that lives in the suburbs, gets in trouble and, after getting bailed out of prison by a mysterious man, he's offered the chance to become a kingsman. Since this movie came out, it has become one of my favourite movies of all time. It's really easy to follow, the characters are charming in their own way and the dialogue is witty. Not to talk about the action scenes. As a society, we have been exposed to so many action scenes and violence, that not much surprises us, but the way this movie portrays that action is just mind-blowingly good (and quite funny sometimes).It's always a delight to watch anything by Colin Firth, but Taron Egerton (Eggsy) was truly fit to play that character. There's a lot of character development for Eggsy in just one movie, and even when the movie is about fighting, the development doesn't feel rushed because the writers devote part of the movie just so we can see how Eggsy struggles to become the man he should be to represent Kingsman. It's a breath of fresh air to see characters properly developed in an action movie. That's why I like this movie so much, because it's not just mindless violence. Cheers to the writers. Fantastic job.
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.
