However, it all comes undone in the last 20 minutes. Some very crude humor about anal sex and the 3 minute exploding head sequence (feels much, much longer) were the low points. The trailer tries to make this film look cool and stylish, it is neither. The director can't seem to resist dumb special effects and one-note jokes. When you have Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Caine and Colin Firth, you should be able to do much better than this. Don't know if he was trying to be true to the graphic novel or just wanted to tick some marketing check boxes. Just a huge waste of time and money. If you are looking for something to entertaining to watch, look elsewhere.… Expand

Dumb movie, I guess if you like something with no plot, stupid pathetic writing that a 10 year old could do better than watch this movie.

Or you could just watch the grass grow, would be just as good

What a disappointing movie experience this was - some great actors giving performances that can only be described as mediocre at best. This takes action movies back about 2 decades.... don't bother.

The heroes of this movie are charged with stopping mass murder, an obviously grievous crime. But when our heroes commit mass murder, it's made permissible through the means of a fireworks display. And if that wasn't enough, the one woman who was smart enough to know something was afoul with Samuel L Jackson's character at the beginning of the movie is relegated to nothing more than an anal sex reward at the end of the movie.

Skip this movie.… Expand

Kingsman: The Secret Service is a loud, obnoxious, stupid, and over the top action film that fails to not just properly spoof the spy genre it tries to mock, but also fails to be a spy film at all. Firstly, the action sequences are well done,Kingsman: The Secret Service is a loud, obnoxious, stupid, and over the top action film that fails to not just properly spoof the spy genre it tries to mock, but also fails to be a spy film at all. Firstly, the action sequences are well done, but are completely pointless and over the top (thanks to stupid CGI blood effects). In line with this, the plot as a whole was beyond dumb and unbelievable. Spy films, though often outlandish, deal with things that you could see actually happening. This one felt more like a science fiction film masquerading as a spy film, while not being completely either. In addition, the writing was incredibly weak. I have no problem with swearing, but it was used as a crutch throughout and overused. Finally, it was never funny. For a film trying to be a satire of spy films, it was never funny and the jokes fell flat every time. Oh and lest we forget the stupid ending with the reference to anal sex. The joke fell flat and I am not a huge fan of nudity, unless it makes sense. Here, it was sexed up for the hell of it, which to me, is the sign of a bad movie that needs to have sex scenes to make things interesting. The only positive I can think of, other than the well shot action scenes, was the acting. In particular, Samuel L. Jackson was great. However, on the whole, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a horrific film that baffles me how people enjoyed it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.… Expand

Obnoxiously violent. Newcomer Taron Edgerton shows some promise, but it is otherwise a blood-bath of a film. Not my taste at all, in the end. I can see the appeal to others, but not my favourite movie experience.

Anyone who thought this was entertaining has no clue about quality writing, screenplay. James Bond rip offs were mostThis film is the most ridiculous rip-off of James Bond, Superman, Matrix, X-Men, even Star Trek, I've ever seen. Anyone who thought this was entertaining has no clue about quality writing, screenplay. James Bond rip offs were most atrocious and poorly done (got to dress properly, 'act' like James Bond, order your drink like bond (shaken, not stirred). As in Bond films, we are drawn through the showcasing of all the neat gadgets the hero will eventually use to do in the bad guys. The hero's persona was borrowed from the teen angst of the impulsive, smart, rawly talented likes of James T Kirk as late adolescent, the Superman-as-folksy-farm kid. Oh., but we need to have him prove out----we'll have him compete with other teen-young adult peers and 'win' the competition (see X-Men); and we need to throw in a strong heroine who has to depend on the hero for self-confidence and courage (make her good looking but never have her evidence any special talent or skill; but the main characters can't all be guys, right?). One of the worst rip-off films in the last 10 year; entertaining perhaps, if you have little movie-going history under your belt. Even the humor was ripped off ('.....you'll have to excuse me while I go save the world'). Emotional emphasis by all of the charactersswas totally reliant on using the f-word in every major scene (truly, this got to be dreadfully dull after the first hour.) We have to throw in the political issue of global warming as the impetus for the bad guy (who as we know, has limit-less wealth to do any evil he wants). I'd give the movie '1/2 of a 'star' ; and I wish to heck I could get my movie ticket money back on this one.

You can skip this one if you have any historical memory of the Bond Series, Star Trek prequels, X-Men, Matrix. Anyone of you who have seen the above movies, sequels etc., could have written this thing----REALLLY!!! And, any single episode of these is 1000% better than this poorly written rip off.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The sexual ending was completely out of phase with the whole tone and spirit of the movie up to that point ....I'm not a prude but it was just gratuitously tawdry, brought a so-so action flick down to completely 'un-recommendable' ... I was uncomfortable for half the people and families in the audience.

I think it probably stifled word of mouth recommendations, this is not a movie a guy could bring a decent girl to , to say nothing about bringing a family ..... and really it had nothing what-so-ever to do with anything that had happened prior, it was a graphic anal sex bit that just really felt out of place and I don't see any of popular movie sites mentioning it.... fail all around… Expand

Most of the characters were well defined and well played, but the scene where the senseless killing of every single person including the good guy mentor, was sickening and I had to leave before the end. I was saddened to see children as young as about 9 years old at the movie with their parents as that scene was totally inappropriate and complete overkill. I thought the ads portrayed the movie in a more lighthearted manner than it actually was. The R rating was for more than just language.… Expand

While the movie was entertaining, it deserves a 0, for it's overt anti christian propaganda. If they did to blacks or Jews what they do to christians in this movie, it would be protested and shunned.

There is a key scene where the heroWhile the movie was entertaining, it deserves a 0, for it's overt anti christian propaganda. If they did to blacks or Jews what they do to christians in this movie, it would be protested and shunned.

There is a key scene where the hero goes to what I can only presume is the writers interpretation of a "typical" christian church service. All in attendance are bigots, homophobes and "anti-government" types. But don't worry because the hero goes nuts and slaughters all of them during the service due to the mind control rays of the evil genius.

I heard viewers in the audience guffawing in approval at the death of those "horrible christian bigots". Mission accomplished hollywood. Defame all that is good and glorify evil.

At the end of the movie we get to enjoy some anal sex too. Nice job..... NOT.… Expand

The previews of the movie bear no resemblance at all to what the movie is about other than the fact that it tries to be a cheeky homage to James Bond. Two thirds of the way through the movie I walked out. While waiting on my partner to finish watching it I looked up the ending on line. Glad i made the decision to leave. If you are a thirteen year old boy with anger issues will you love this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really weird mix of comedy, that is not that funny, and action drama, which is only somewhat entertaining. I did not like this movie. The scene that destroyed its little credibility was the Kingsman killing all those people in the church, which came out of nowhere I thought in the films progression and did not serve any bigger message or theme that the movie was trying to say. It has such unnecessary and gory violence, I was turned off by that and didn't really care much for the rest of the film. The main character, Eggsy, is not so likeable and I didn't see much character progression from his training as a Kingsman, only his combat abilities. He should be more gentlemanly in my opinion and a more mature person, but he seems only slightly more mature caring about saving the world however still does not respect others much, only Harry slightly. This movie in my opinion either needed to be a more serious action drama or a far more funnier comedy. As it stands, it is a boring and dull comedy/action movie, with little to no plot or characters to care about. : Why people liked this movie so much....I guess they have very low expectations for movies. I'll stick with Casino Royale and classics that put this movie to shame.… Expand
