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.

Great spy movie. Easy one, but still better than most modern Bond-films (didn't say every), even if it is a comedy. Fresh, feels new, and good.

This movie is brilliant, the action scenes are good and somewhat unique in the way they are done. Some twists are unexpected but overall the story is average. This isn't a masterpiece but it's bloody fun bruv !

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.… Expand

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.

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’ spyFrom 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.… Expand

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

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.… Expand

You don't sit through the movie thinking that the subplots are boring because they never overstay their welcome and if you think they are boring you can rest easy knowing another beautiful action scene will come up soon. Jokes are perfectly placed for comic relief and never feel out of place or forced, the cinematography is beautiful, and the movie gets away with being a meta spy movie by being just dancing around it.

It was a perfect, classic homage to spy movies.
The only downside (the reason this is a 9 instead of 10) is that the first half was a little slow, and although not bad, not nearly as good as the second half.

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

Yes, I mean you Marvel, DC etc. One of the few exceptions is this. There are many pluses, not least well know actors playing against type, notably Colin Firth ditching his diffident middle class Englishman persona for a super smooth but hard as nails secret agent. 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's developed and involved enough to keep you engaged, but it's got just the right amount of fun and self-awareness to make it this easy and fun to watch. 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.

There are also some really great performances here. Colin Firth seems to be a better Bond than half the real ones were, and Sam Jack's part seems effortless, as it is entertaining.… Expand

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.

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

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.… Expand

Also, the movie is super negative towards Americans...and Obama gets his head blown off, and that's supposed to be funny?… Expand

A perfect send up to the spy movies of the past, particularly the 007 ones.

It takes inspiration from a time when spy movies were all about thrills and over-the-top villains with insane plans, rather than the more serious and believable plots and elements you'll find in spy movies today. The film is incredibly aware of this and approaches it with a sense of giddy self-awareness. It even goes as far as to have the characters have conversations about it. Yet, while the film clearly wears it inspiration on it's sleeve and has no problem pointing it out to you, it's also very much it's own thing. It takes the formula of old and reinvigorates it with it's own unique concepts: Hyper violence and a smart*ss sense of humor.

All of the pieces come together masterfully here. Matthew Vaughn shows incredible talent as a director here and the work of fight choreographer Guillermo Grispo is unbelievable. The action is meticulously put together leaving for some incredible and exciting scenes to behold. Action junkies have never seen anything like this before and it is not to be missed.

To top it all of the movie is funny. It's absurdist style makes for a movie that is a joy to watch. Everyone is cast perfectly. Newcomer Taron Egerton is a treat to watch in action. He shows real talent in his first film. You would never think he wasn't a veteran actor. Simply put "Kingsman" is a movie not to be missed. It hits every note near-perfectly. It does new and exciting things for the spy movie genre that other directors should take note of. It's one of the best comic book movies ever made and, as far as I'm concerned, an absolute must-watch.… Expand

I mean really special, the comedy is sleek and subtle, the action is incredibly shot and the characters are colourful and vivid which is perfect for what is essentially a teen version of bond spinoff. 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

If you love spy movies, action movies or movies in general you will love this movie. It has everything an action movie should have, a great soundtrack, no shakey cam, likable characters, and a great villain. Samuel L Jackson (95%of the movies that have come out in 30 years) does a great job as the villain, the lisp he has just makes his character better. The plot isn't the plot of the century or anything but it does make up with a spectacular church scene (if your easily offended then don't watch this) If you haven't seen this by now watch this.… Expand

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.

Great movie, better than the new James Bond movies! This movie has all what I missed in the latest 007 movies, great actors, action, fun, special effects and a interesting story.
