Newcomer juvenile lead Taron Egerton -- handsome, bright, Welsh -- has promise. He should be moved in the direction of a good movie.

Kingsman: The Secret Service is a film with a knack for punchlines and irony that end up providing it with a vision of the world of secret agents that surpasses its predecessors. [Full review in Spanish]

Although there's nothing much to take away from the film, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a highly entertaining film with fascinating characters and non-stop action from beginning to end.

3/4

Vaughn has proven himself an expert at adapting stories of such ilk, and here's another one—a film that seems to belong on the comic's page, but Vaughn brings it to the screen with a hilariously depraved edginess.

This movie is pretty spectacular, the action is stylish and full of energy. It has one of the greatest villains of time with Samuel L Jackson, as Valentine, and an incredible hero's journey in Tarom Edgerton's, Eggsy. Colin Firth shines in this as Harry AKA Galahad, his action scenes are full of fast paced, extremely stylish over the top kinetic energy that bleeds through the scene, especially in the church scene that blew mind as a 13 year old when it first came out. Mark Strong is great, as well as all the supporting characters shine in the little they're given, but Sofia Boutella is extremely lethal as Gazelle, instantly becoming an iconic James Bond like henchmen with blades for legs, it truly was unique, especially her scenes with Samuel L Jackson, really great banter and chemistry. Overall this film has it all, the score is great, the story, while not the most original, really plays into the spy movie cliches, but then subverts those expectations, into a unique fresh new take.
