Audience Reviews for Kingsman: The Secret Service

    Umm, what the fuck is this rubbish? I still can't quite figure how this got made. The only thing I've worked out is that there is nothing subversive or clever about Kingsman. It's just bizarre how stupid it is conceptually, and in it's execution. I liked the church kill frenzy scene unto itself though......sort of.

    Matthew Vaughn delivers the suit in Kingsman: The Secret Service. Gliding in at just past the 2 hour mark, the plot's combination of violence, humor, and style raise the entertainment and lower the seriousness. While staying grounded from time to time, the film also manages to go over the top on numerous occasions. The action is violent and stylized, leading to candy for the eyes. The blood content is a little light considering the violence, but acceptable none the less. While Taron Egerton does an amusing job with his character, it's Colin Firth that carries the movie. Mark Strong does what his last name suggests; provide a strong supporting character. Kingsman: The Secret Service blends its different genres together in amusing fashion. I'll take the Big Mac.

    A fantastic attempt to try to recreate a Bond type franchise but it reinvents the spy genre in a more creative, gory, and hilarious way. With its Tarintino style directing and script this movie is one of the best new franchises. Its truly historical tone creates a film that is unlike most films. The action sequences are very well filmed and the church scene is a amazing example of special effects and perfectly executed action scenes. I thought this film should've been fresh at around 90% its a very strong new film.

    Very stylish, Entertaining and pure fun from the word go, It would of made a great James Bond origin film if it was more serious, Some great, Entertaining and brutal action scenes that even though were very over the top were done brilliant especially the church scene, A nice mixture of Unknown cast and some A-Lister's altogether work well, Maybe the plot was abit too silly but we soon get over that as there's so much fun to be had we can't help but enjoy it.
