Kingsman The Secret Service

Fun story

This was the best movie of 2015 so far. I wish I had the energy to write a meaningful review.There were so many things to like but it all starts with Jack Davenport as the suave, fearless Lancelot saving a kidnapped professor (played by a hilariously mild-mannered Mark Hammill) -- almost.Then Samuel L. Jackson arrives on the scene as the very antithesis of his usual self. Buttoned-down, playful even. And the most dangerous man in the world.If I have any objections to the film it is this: There is a wonderful character who also competes to become one of the Kingsman named Roxanne. Although she has an important part in the movie, she is ultimately not the movie's star. And that's okay, but her supporting role was terrific and I wish it was even more. She was nervy and sophisticated and I hope a sequel might feature her more.

The movie is an action-packed feature whose humor reminds me a lot of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." The more spy shows that you have watched, the more allusions to other shows you will catch. Kingsman is an NGO spy service that models itself on the Knights of the Round Table. The head of the organization is called Arthur, and each of the highly trained agents bears the name of an Arthurian knight. Colin Firth plays an agent named Harry Hart, codenamed Galahad. The movie features Samuel L. Jackson as a villain who is trying to save the world from being destroyed by human beings who will not act responsibly toward the environment. Jackson plays a smooth-talking character who makes a lot of sense--until you realize that he is planning to kill most of the world's population. That part of the plot resembles the ending of Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six"; only Jackson's method of killing is much more violent. Despite the blood-and-gore, this is an entertaining movie for adults.

my favorite movie - possibly of all time. Taron Egerton is a fantastic breakout star and i cannot wait to see more from him! Samuel L Jackson plays a loveable villain (how can you not!?) and Colin Firth is as cool as always. If you like Tarantino style films mixed with secret service type Bond action, hilarious gore scenes, and edge-of-your seat action, this movie is for you!i know this was based off a comic, i have never read the comics, but i enjoyed this very much as a movie all in itself. if you are a comic book fan, you will probably enjoy this movie. The plot line is not super obvious- its a fresh concept- and there are some unexpected twists that keep you on your toes, as well as lots of funny moments.i also suggest watching multiple times. i think you will enjoy it more each time, as i have!!

This is a great start to the kingsman movie series. The acting is excellent and very whitty. Samuel L Jackson plays such a great bad guy that you have to love the character

My thoughts in order...First 1/3 of the movie: Kinda campy. Not exactly what I expected, but not unwatchable by any stretch of the imagination.Middle part of the movie, up to last 10 minutes: This could be a very good franchise. Starting to gain steam and get through the meat of the story. Line delivery is mostly great, acting is very good.Last 10 minutes: not entire sure what just happened to a good movie. The ending wasn't bad, just very, very odd by comparison to the rest of the film. It's as if they had a guest director for the last 10 minutes.I found the movie very fun, and reasonably interesting. While the ending was very odd, it didn't really ruin the rest of the film in my eyes.

I got this movie a week ago and have already watched it twice. It's that good. I recently got Jupiter Ascending and as a Sci Fi fan I was disappointed with it, Kingsman ? Now here is a good movie. The character Eggsy was someone I could relate to immediately and the other characters are equally developed as the movie progresses. Sure, CGI is at a state of development that allows almost anything to be displayed in a movie but it doesn't make up for a weak script and characters that no one can relate to. What use are titanic explosions and mass destruction if the audience doesn't care about who it is happening to ?I don't want to ruin the viewing experience for anyone so no spoilers but if you like action and characters that are more than cardboard cutouts, buy this movie.PS Don't be in a hurry to eject the disk as the credits start. You might be surprised if you wait.

Cleverly written "spy movie" with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Almost as much dark-leaning comedy and social commentary as action, adventure and violence. Pokes fun (not-so-subtly) at the "spy movie" genre itself, at several points in the film. On a scale between "classic Bond" as (1) and "Tarantino" as (10), this is about a 7. Really well-played by the strong cast, with tight editing and very good action sequences. Not for the easily (perhaps even moderately easily) offended. Lots of cussing (maybe a bit more than I use IRL, but not gratuitously so IMHO). Some violent scenes, and some theatrical use of CGI (call it "decorative" or "fun," as some violence just is TOO graphic to be shown as it would actually appear in reality). I would guess that Jarvis Cocker from the band Pulp really likes this film. A smart and rollicking good time.

The best

A blast to watch. It has humor, a bit of sadness, and a great story - this should appeal to many. I don't want to reveal the plot, but I will say its about a secret society that works to save the world, only invites "exceptional" youngsters in when old members die, and there's a mad-man out to destroy the world as we know it - and the new class has to learn and deal with this threat as current members are being killed. This movie has1) a bit of Get Smart, although its much more intelligent than that (and I loved Get Smart when I was a kid);2)a bit of Bond, but it is much more self deprecating than that; and3) even a bit of Justice League thrown in, but much more sinister than that.A great Sunday afternoon film with great actors taking on interesting and well developed characters.
