Disappointing Movie To Say The Least!
mdtinney - wrote on 09/15/2015
This movie totally let me down... With the cast it had, I had huge expectations... HUGE... And I enjoyed the 1st hour or so... But the last half ruined the whole movie for me... Ruined it... Samuel L Jackson and his crooked cap just annoyed me... The over-dramatized action in the last 30 minutes was too over the top. Huge disappointment. Colin Firth held his own... In fact he was the best thing about the movie.. But his death started the spiraling downfall... Even Michael Caine was not at the top of his game.... This just missed being added to my Top 100 Worst Movies of all-time. Maybe I over analyze movies... But I don't think I can stomach watching it again. And to think I bought it in Blue-ray....... I would love my 2 hours and $23 back. Any takers? LOL...

I am offering you the opportunity to become a Kingsman.
A tailor?
A Kingsman agent.
Like a spy? Of sorts. Interested?
You think I've got anything to lose?
I'm not a big fan of Bond films. Too clean, too boring and too stiff. And there was always Q who came up with some new inventions and coincidentally they came in handy in that movie. I would love to own his crystal ball. Also, every movie was stuffed with action, but you'd never see a speck of blood (Before all Bond fans react furiously: I admit that I haven't seen all Bond-movies. So I could be wrong on that part). And in every film a bunch of gorgeous ladies paraded around, but I've never seen a millimeter of offensive nudity. "Kingsman : The Secret Service" feels like a James Bond flick, but then provided with all these …

"Kingsman" by Yojimbo

A young council estate tearaway is recruited by a covert group of international super spies in their attempt to foil the plans of an internet billionaire. James Bond gets the Kick Ass treatment in another enjoyably off-beat and humorous action movie from Matthew Vaughn. There's a lot to like about Kingsman; the jokey homages to old school Bond and British espionage films in general, the frenetic and exciting action sequences and the enjoyably tongue in cheek performances from Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Jack Davenport served up with a liberal dollop of class-related comedy. Although it does take a lot of cues from the afore-mentioned movies, its tone and combination of post modernism, humour and stiff-upper lipped Britishness reminded me most of classic swinging 60s cult TV series The …

Kingsman is simple awesome

So Fifty shades of F***ing Sh*t top this movie at the box office where 50 shades got everything wrong and there's nothing good about it, but Kingsman got a lot of good things to talk about so at the end of the day Kingsman win.
The story is about a street-wise punk with a set of fast hands (and a faster mouth), finds himself recruited by an underground spy agency. If he can pass their test, he will be one of the new initiated into their ranks - just a threat from a twisted tech genius threatens the world.
Every since the first trailer for this movie came out I already known that this movie was going to be great because Matthew Vaughn directing it and that guy knows how to make a well made film that reminds everyone what good movies are, and that's why these no surprise that this …

Brash and Ballsy 007 Love Letter!
Unknown - wrote on 02/16/2015
'Kingsman' is a wild and crazy action/spy flick! The film takes clear homage from the more fantastical James Bond outings. Advanced gadgetry, over-the-top stunts, megalomaniac villains with lairs and lethal henchmen, suits, liquor, bedding beautiful women, and the suave Englishman hero. These tropes are simultaneously subverted with a wink, and lovingly embraced in the most brash manner. Our main hero rises through the ranks to become an ultimate badass gentleman spy. His training involves manners and self improvement in addition to the usual battle preparation. The cast is terrific! From newcomer Egerton exploding in his first big role, to Sam Jackson's funny villain, to Colin Firth's surprising fight skills, everyone nails it! The movie blazes through it's hefty plot with wit …
