Kingsman: The Secret Service - movie review
Grade: A
It isn't often that a movie exceeds my expectations, but this one sure did. I was hoping for something good; I got something great.
There are no holes in this movie. The acting is better than good, there isn't anything groundbreaking with the action, but I think they did an excellent job. Especially with the length of the fight scenes. They gave us enough to enjoy without dragging it out for too long.
The evil plot was one of the best in any spy movie ever. It was easy to understand and oddly compelling. I must admit I've had the same thoughts myself from time to time after watching cable news. :-)
If there was one thing I would criticize it would be the humor. There were lots of amusing scenes, but only a few downright LOL moments. But, on the other hand they didn't try to create any LOL moments that missed.
Matthew Vaughn, the writer/director, deserves huge kudos for bringing the fun back to spy movies. I just want to know when the sequel is due.
