Let me start off by saying, this is an origin story for Kingsman, and it serves its purpose well.
The origin story was mentioned briefly in the first Kingsman when Harry (Galahad) introduced Eggsy to the secret service. This movie fits that storyline and delivers it well and digs it deeper with the father-son relationship. Plus, we get to see Ralph Fiennes with some good action along with gentlemanly manners which is like a reverse-Voldemort if you think about it.

What gives it extra points for me is the message it conveys, and some of you may not like it — so many young men/women are being “tricked” by propaganda (patriotism is its other name) and joining wars without realizing what they are really getting into. This is the cornerstone of the whole Kingsman universe — The purpose of Kingsman is to end wars.
Of course, what’s missing as a classic spy element is all the cool spy gadgets. It was WWI, there’s no way around that, but they did find a fun way to fill that blank a little.
Overall, I think this movie is well-made, definitely better than the second Kingsman, and is worth watching if you like the Kingsman universe.
Grade: A-

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!
