Justin and I saw Kingsman on February 15, 2015!! I think this was the first great movie of the year. I was into the movie from beginning to end. This was a great mix of spy movies, a little bit of Kick-Ass & X-Men: First Class, and a whole lot of awesome!! Kingsman is kind of a modern day Knights of the Round Table to help save the world. I think the overall plot was really good & I found the cast to be extremely effective in their roles.
The action sequences were brilliant-amazing action & choreography mixed with incredible cinematography. Taron Egerton's Gary "Eggsy" Unwin constantly changes throughout the movie. He may be less refined from what Kingsman usually recruits, but he has the ability to think on his feet & people that see this movie will instantly like this character. Colin Firth was excellent as Harry Hart-very refined like the James Bond of old, but at the same time very gritty when it comes to his work. Samuel L. Jackson was hilarious & at the same time very menacing as Valentine-the film's main villain. His plan is really diabolical considering it consists of worldwide genocide. The films secondary villain is quite possibly the most awesome character in recent memory-Gazelle. The characters look & fighting style was incredible to watch. Watch out for her legs & feet!! I think Sofia Boutella makes a great addition as a female action star. She fit in perfectly with the over the top nature of this movie. Mark Strong was excellent as Merlin, Kingsman's guiding light in many ways. I also need to point out Sophie Cookson's role as Roxy. She was a strong female character that ends up being such a vital piece in saving the world. Cookson was intelligent, gorgeous, & showed true poise of a Kingsman. Roxy is the most likeable Lancelot ever.
There are many memorable scenes throughout this movie. I think the training exercises are really well done & thrilling. The twists during these exercises are compelling. The church scene, Pomp & Circumstance (as I'm calling the scene), and the big battle scenes are all well done. The dialogue is witty & sharp laced with some dark humor. If you want to see a really well done modern day spy genre movie with a great cast & incredible action sequences, then I highly recommend Kingsman which easily gets a 5/5 from me. I enjoyed everything about this. They brilliantly mixed intense emotion, comedy, and a plot that keeps building on itself throughout the movie. WATCH THIS!!!
