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.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
