This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You will find extreme over-the-top violence, hilarious moments, and upsetting deaths in Kingsman: The Secret Service. This is one of the best spy movies ever made and even the villain is funny. Harry's death is sad. Overall, don't take kids under 13 to see this as the violence is pretty brutal(especially the church scene). The McDonalds scene is also pretty funny. Expand

The audience is drawnMatthew Vaughan's individual style of film-making is demonstrated with spectacular fashion in Kingsman: The Secret Service. The film perfectly combines an original mix of comedy, action, drama and the outright bizarre. The audience is drawn out of their seats in the prospect of marvellously ridiculous action sequences, whilst additionally brought back down to earth through realistically powerful themes. Whilst the films protagonists are developed with great quality, the film's antagonist, Samuel L. Jackson, steals the show with a brilliant portrayal of a power driven maniac. The combination of exciting action sequences, a thrilling narrative and brilliant character development, help to create one of the most fun films of 2015 so far. Expand

I had just watched this movie a few months ago and it's actually very well executed and the cast was amazing, it had done a lot better with the humor and the action. I do indeed recommend this movie, its funny and they all did pretty well.

Esse filme de ação é incrível.

As cenas de ação são fora do normal, com um jogo de câmera muito bem estabelecido e um estilo próprio, fundamentado na pós-edição, o que cria uma sincronia muito gostosa com a musica de fundo, como na cena da igreja. E falando na famosa, sem alguém ai esperava coreografias fracas - como na maioria dos filmes do gênero, deve ter ficado muito surpreso a o presenciar um plano-sequencia maestral, que simplesmente é uma aula de cinema, cujo diverso diretores deviam simplesmente sentar aprender.

Os personagens são ótimos. O desenvolvimento é deixado de lado na maior parte do filme, mas a trama tem um ar tão vilanesco, e ao mesmo tempo subvertido - o próprio filme faz piada quanto a isso; que esse ponto não se torna bem relevante. O ritmo, principalmente no ato final, é de tirar o folego. Inclusive, Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson e Mark Strong levam a estatueta nesse filme.

Cenas de ação lendárias, referencias muito bem vindas e um estilo autoral fazem desse filme inesquecível.

Kingsman: The Secret Service was a ton of fun. It was super violent, super stupid and super funny. Colin Firth was an absolute riot in this film! I hope this is the beginning of a new franchise because I'd certainly like to see more of the Kingsmen!

Director Matthew Vaughn has been constantly on my radar as one of my favourite genius in commercial filmmaking, I have watched all his previous four features, from LAKE CAKE (2004, 6/10), X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (2011, 7/10), to my absolute guilty-pleasure treasures STARDUST (2007, 9/10) and KICK-ASS (2010, 9/10). His latest is by all means a thoroughly engaging adventure with unconventional violence and visual gags, which all delightfully surpass viewer’s expectation.

Someone like Terrence Stamp ("General Zod" in "Superman II") would've been more "deliciously evil". This and a few other quibbles like the small statured new Kingsmen keep it from a "10" rating. But the film was intense throughout, all the way through the faux-end with an awesome callback to the earlier bar scene brawl. Excellent, excellent experience. Expand

A modern take on old school spy movies that isn't afraid to make fun of itself. Kind of like Austin Powers meets Kill Bill.

The movie has every spy movie cliche in the book, and yet instead of inspiring a "ho-hum" response, it awakens a spirit of nostalgia akin to why we liked the Bond films of old. Lots of action, and British wit that reminded me allot of the Avengers series (the English Avengers, not the ones from Marvel.)

The dialogue and plot are all very campy and over the top, but the movie embraces it and does its best not to take itself too seriously. But make no mistake, this isn't a comedy, it's action through and through. The comedy is just from clever writing and likely will only be understood by those smart enough to comprehend it.

Overall:
Kingsman is 60s/70s style spy movie set in modern times using modern technology and writing. It isn't meant to be taken seriously and is tribute to old school spy movie. If you want no nonsense serious action, then this isn't for you. If you want some action but also a bit of a giggle, then I highly recommend this movie.

I cannot comprehend how much I love this movie. This is a really good movie to kind of just let it do its thing, you don't need to be as deep into the plot as a bond movie. I mean, there is a plot (could've been a bit more detailed) but the sequences is what you come for in an action comedy. Unbelievably good film. Expand

I figured I was in for a generic by the numbers action flick when I had such hopes for the movie. Then a funny thing happened, the movie just as quickly became absurd. I mean you literally go from a poor recreation of a chopper shot over a CGI winter cabin to the ludicrously violent introduction of the main villains second in command. It never really stops, there's some generic story telling to be sure the "Down on his luck achievement in the face of adversity under dog" story is so commonplace it's banal at this point. But this movie is funny and unafraid to be fun. It could have seriously fallen apart but never did to the point that I didn't enjoy myself...except for the butt sex thing at the end. Didn't like that. Otherwise fantastic film Vaughn has an eye for filmmaking that really is unmatched currently in film. Those of you who enjoy this or XMen First Class should really check out Layer Cake. Expand

The characters are generic, but that makes them easy to understand with so little backstory to go on. The action is crazy, the comedy comes naturally, and their are some genuinly innovative ideas here. It's such a great time that it made me feel the rare urge to hope for a sequel. Even without though, it's an outstanding rush for the senses

I’ll be honest. I was expecting of a really grounded spy movie which unfortunately, it isn’t. It was probably because I was expecting a compelling plot with a great back story or something. However, just because it’s not a grounded spy movieI’ll be honest. I was expecting of a really grounded spy movie which unfortunately, it isn’t. It was probably because I was expecting a compelling plot with a great back story or something. However, just because it’s not a grounded spy movie doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. I loved it actually!

I liked how this movie is a homage to the earlier spy movies but it still stands as its own movie. The movie had a meta moment when it discusses how two of the characters in the movie (in which I won’t spoil) missed how fun spy movies used to be and now current spy movies are too serious. With the homage as well as the meta moment, this movie is going to delight spy movie fans more.

While this movie doesn’t have a compelling plot, the movie does a good job developing the main character Eggsy played by Taron Egerton. The father-son dynamic between Eggsy and Harry (played by Colin Firth) is excellent.

The humor is quite dark, witty and funny. Valentine (played by Samuel L. Jackson) delivered the funniest lines in the movie with Harry being the close second.

The action scenes were excellently shot and choreographed and this is from someone who doesn’t generally care about action scenes. It’s one of the best strengths of the movie that kept my eyes on the screen.

Kingsman: The Secret Service will satisfy the spy genre fans more but this movie is still fun for the general audience like me who wants a good yet fun movie.

The action in this film is mapped out perfectly, With a great mix of plot and action that never feels out of balance. This film will also make you laugh with the main character always quick with a one liner to throw in. Kingsman surprised me I must admit tho, From previews etc I didn't have high hopes for the film but 30 minutes in my mind was changed..I loved this movie.

But really, the action scenes were really awesome, perfectly choreographed, and I just love the fact that here really is presented a combination of old school British spy films to modern day action espionage. The movie is unrealistic, predictable and ridiculous in some parts, but it is that in purpose, which makes it even a better film, really fun to watch and very entertaining. The acting is great, mainly by Samuel L. Jackson playing and excellent, original, eccentric, really cool and funny villain. The story is a little unoriginal, but it’s nothing to be concerned about.
Definitely, watch Kingsman, with no doubt.

I went in expecting a pretty good movie. What I got was one of the best movies I've seen in the last two years. The movie has extremely over the top gore, and an almost parody like feeling to James Bond movies. The humor is extremely solid, with almost every single joke getting a good laugh out of me. And unlike mindless action movies such as Furious 7, this movie had a pretty engaging plot. Everyone in the movie gave in excellent performance, and the musical score fit each scene just perfectly. Go see this movie if you haven't had the chance, and even if you still aren't sure, it's a for sure purchase on blueray. Expand

This was a very fun movie. Action was fast; character motivation was grounded.

Definitely worth seeing once.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is agent movie but not like the James Bond movie. It talks about the secret service in a slightly realistic manner. Agents will actually die and require replacement. And the new agent is needed to be trained. The villain is actually smart and logical but not ethical. The philosophy behind the villain is not completely wrong which is a balance between heroes and villains which is good.
Likewise, due to that minor realistic, there will be blood, chopping people off, stuff like that. In the meantime, there will be some boring car chasing and explosion scene which I do not care at all.
The black comedy at the end was quit impressive.
Overall, it is a light movie. I will definitely watch it again....

'Kingsman; The Secret Service' is a high octane, blockbuster, wrapped in a thick layer of enthusiasm and solid production value.

And when It comes down to pure film-making; 'Kingsman" is hard to gripe about - with worm, delicate photography - sharp editing & a cleanly paced screenplay By Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn that gives each character a moment to shine.

As well as being refreshingly original with non-generic or formulaic character tropes / archetypes, you've seen a thousand times before;

I give it an 8/10 & recommend it for a great time at the theater.

Without spoiling anything, it couldn't be farther from the truth. However because of this, I did not see this movie until I saw it on HBOG. My expectations were low, but I found myself fully engulfed in the movie pretty early on. The plot is fun but the actions/violent scenes were even more fun! Not your average spy movie which is good, the humor is well placed but at times feels a bit too silly.

While the story is very good, the twists and turns are a bit eye rolling. Then the one liners and CGI are why I knock this movie down a bit. Seriously laughable CGI. There were even some plot holes that made me scratch my head on why they even included "character* in the first place.

Overall a definite watch none the less, I was presently pleased with it. Would of definitely Red boxed, or even would of seen in theaters.

This film does have it's campy and over the top moments, but all the actors, even the younger ones, do a phenomenal job in this flick. I've always been a fan of Firth, Strong, Jackson and these 3 are just sooo great on screen (and there's also the added bonus of seeing Mark Hammill and Michael Caine, even if briefly) that their performances and action scenes alone make it worth spending money on. This is a film I'd love to see get a sequel and I hope people will spend money to show support for the people who made this film possible.

Definitely check this out if you want a fun spy movie to watch.

The fast edited fight scenes go on way too long, it's really violent, and the film can't really decide if it's an all out comedy or drama. At times it has "Airplane" type of humour, like it's making fun of the spy genre, and other times heavy on the drama. At one point they even poke fun of product placement in movies with McDonalds, again showing the "Airplane" style of satirical humour. Somehow it all worked for me mainly due to the spirited acting by everyone involved. Not really a film I would desire to see again but fun for an afternoon. Expand

Fancy some fairly light-watching, whitty and action-packed entertainment? Well not much can beat 'The Kingsman.'

A great cast bring everything to life, and great direction guides the story, and the incredibly bad-ass action, to an explosive finale. It's bloody good fun.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: There's nothing to really dislike about this film. It's just not particularly intense or gripping - but that's not really the idea. For something like that, go somewhere else
VERDICT: For what it is it's almost perfect: light, fun entertainment that has you grinning from the off and throughout. Take it for what it is and you'll have a ball.

Mark Strong plays a good guy rather than his usual villainous roles. Secondly there is humour throughout, even during the southern redneck church scene. In a film full of surprises this is the shocker so much so I had to replay it just to make sure I hadn't imagined it. Maybe the only downside is that the director chose to depict exploding heads as colourful fireworks rather than opting for a bit of a bloodbath but tis is a moot point. Expand

It is quite true that in these days spy movies have become very realistic even though their tactics are still too advanced for the real world. Since Daniel Craig is James Bond the character has become
quite serious exterminator without the touch and class that Sean Connery and Roger Moore gave to the character.

Kingsman: The Secret Service brings back the irreverence and fun to the genre, cheerfully adding favorite elements of the audience.
The film is based on the 2012 series The Secret Service, a comic created by two superstars of the field, Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar

Whether it's Alex Rider, Cody Banks or even Spy Kids, a lot of movies have tried to adapt the idea of the 007 to younger characters with manifestly stupid results. In the end, the reason it works for Vaughn is that he is making the movie for adults.

Kingsman is halfway to the self-parody and the tribute, violent and modern at the same time and that takes its theme very seriously and its proposal therefore stands out and manages to be a fun and very concise work.
Absolutely recommended.

From the creators of Kick-Ass, comic book writer Mark Millar and director Matthew Vaughn, comes another mad, bloody and above all fun romp that knows exactly what it needs to be and loves it.

As a direct reaction to the more ‘serious’ spy
From the creators of Kick-Ass, comic book writer Mark Millar and director Matthew Vaughn, comes another mad, bloody and above all fun romp that knows exactly what it needs to be and loves it.

As a direct reaction to the more ‘serious’ spy films of the current era, the espionage action film pays more than a little homage to the Bond films of the sixties (clearly an influence on Vaughn’s previous X-Men: First Class) but never slips into the parody of Austin Powers or, god forbid, Johnny English.

Just as Kick-Ass did for superheroes, Kingsman wears its cinematic heritage on its sleeve and isn’t afraid to have characters directly confront the ‘outlandish plot’ and their own character ‘archetypes’.

Those expecting a family friendly throwback should be warned though. To quote Mark Strong’s character the violence on display is **** spectacular’.

The frenetic, dynamic action of Kick Ass is ramped up to 11 here as Colin Firth shows us a physical side that we have never seen before. Firth’s Harry Hart combines the charm and wit of Sean Connery’s Bond with the speed and brutality of Jason Bourne to make one pretty unique and memorable character.

The real star of the movie however is Taron Egerton’s Eggsy. The boy from the streets who is inducted into the world of the secret service by Hart could have easily become irritating and unlikeable. In Egerton’s hands however Eggsy makes for a great protagonist as he grows from petty criminal to gentleman spy via a prolonged training period that never feels like it's dragging. What brings charm to the character is his unmasked excitement and enthusiasm for the world of the Kinsmen, like us he knows this stuff is just cool, no matter where your from.

No classic spy film would be complete without a ‘colourful megalomaniac’ trying to take over the world and who better then Mr Samuel L. Jackson to fill that role. As tech billionaire Valentine, Jackson is having enormous fun hamming it up without ever becoming Dr Evil; as he so eloquently puts it — ‘this ain’t that kind of movie’.

From the outset its clear that everyone involved in the project is having the time of their lives and it’s hard for that to not translate offscreen.

Although sometimes things my go a bit too far, and in some cases the films CGI lets it down, Kingsman is a funny, clever and gloriously violent tribute to the spy films of old. I don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves but I would definitely like to see a sequel, although hopefully one directed by Matthew Vaughn and not a repeat of the mess that was Kick-Ass 2.

This is a fantastic wild ride. A great spy film full of positive messages. It’s clever, relevant, and has the perfect amount of humour.

A modern British classic.

The action scenes were filmed very stylistically and it was brilliant. The story was great and the villain, Richmond Valentine, was hilarious and compelling. The characters, especially Eggsy, are great and grow throughout the course of the film. In the end, this is a fantastic film with problems that can easily be overlooked. My rating is 9.5/10 Expand

I realise that this film isn't supposed to be a psychological paragon, but a witty, funny bloodbath. The substantial amount of violence simply adds to its piquant identity. A very good film I recommend to anyone who wants blood, wit and laughs. Expand

Kingsman: The Secret Service is a unique James Bond style movie which is an entertaining, albeit violent and is definitely worth a watch for people who are new to this genre.

Spies, stylish action, over-the-top violence, humour... how could I not like this movie? "Kingsman: The Secret Service" delivered exactly what I wanted, and it was a hell of a lot of fun.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a spy/action/comedy film, which features themes including revenge and social class. First off, this is a pretty slick, fast paced film from the very start. Its quite stylish and elements of it were reminiscent of a James Bond (type) film - the fast paced action, decent special effects including numerous explosions and a menacing musical score in the background of many scenes. However, what rung true most in regards to this comparison were the presence/use of imaginative fancy gadgets. It also reminded me somewhat of The Avengers, due to the natty suits worn by Harry.

It is certainly an easy watch, with the plot (which is rather thin on the ground really) not exactly complicated. Its the sort of film which is good to watch if your wanting to get your mind off things, to distract you for a couple of hours or so (its 2 hours and 8 minutes long, for the record) and thus to switch off. I presume it had quite a high budget as the visual effects and the general style and use of light and effects present very much give it that appearance. I felt it was quite gripping at times, with some real near miss type scenarios taking place. It is quite comic in terms of some of the characters, with the main characters Harry Hart and Valentine, being particularly so. Cast wise, Colin Firth was quite amusing as Harry - playing very much the smooth, debonair English gentleman. He plays the role straight, seeming to take everything very seriously and having (bizarrely) high expectations of peoples social behaviour. His character is somewhat the epitome of an English artistocrat, very neatly clothed etc. if that helps paint a picture in your head of him. Meanwhile, Samuel L Jackson plays Valentine, the technology genius, who is a decent match for Harry, given he's also very quick witted, sharp and determined. It looked like he had a lot of fun while shooting the film, as he has that look of casual glee about himself, as has been the case in other similar fast paced films he's appeared in. There are numerous other big names present in the cast, which include Mark Strong as Merlin, Mark Hamill as Professor Arnold and Michael Caine as Arthur, while Taron Egerton plays another key role, that of Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin. Caines character isn't present for particularly long overall, although when he is in a scene, he plays his character much as Firth does his, very straight, with an air of 'so what?' about it. They are both clearly very much examples of previous generations trying to recruit in the younger eneration. I felt there was an air of satire present overall, although I'm not sure if it would be fair to brand the whole film overall as a spoof or a parody as such.

Content wise, unsurprisingly this film isn't for the very faint hearted, containing some moderately graphic violence - some quite bloody, with bloody bodily injuries shown. Some of the violence is somewhat comic, in that it didn't seem to me especially likely to happen and the characters exaggerated movements and swordsmanship style abilities. The film also features strong language, including racist remarks, sex references and an instance of brief partial nudity. There is also a scene featuring threat towards animals, which may upset or frighten some - I thought I better mention that. There are one or two scenes with violence which are somewhat prolonged and could frighten younger viewers but then this film has a 15 rating anyway, which sounds about right to me due primarily to the bloody violence of course.

I also noticed the presence of a certain tabloid newspaper which isn't much appreciated in Liverpool (to put it one way), very much on show in a number of scenes, with various headlines from the paper over the years having been framed and displayed in the office where said scenes are set. I'm not especially fond of the publication and it does seem a bit crass, or perhaps naff is a more approriate term?, to be showing such an obvious product placement. I can only presume 'good' old Mr. Murdoch paid out a fair bit for it...hmmm, well, whether that makes any difference to how you may feel about, or view, the film is something I'll leave for you to decide.

Overall, yes I would recommend this film. Its an easy watch, quite slick and stylish, featuring decent special effects and with a surprisingly good appearance from Colin Firth, its worth a watch. However, it most certainly isn't perfect - some may well be put off by the bloody violence and brief scenes of injuries shown, plus I did feel that some aspects of the plot were a bit thin on the ground, or lacking believability, though I suppose it isn't really the sort of film your meant to take especially seriously. Then there's also the fact that, as mentioned earlier, there is a somewhat naff seeming big product placement for a certain newspaper that seemed a bit unnecessarily tacky but this may or may not bother you.

Throw in some good music and a light touch of comedy and you have a mix that worked. Oh, and it's helped by popular actors like Samuel L. Jackson, who was a great bad guy here.
