Kingsman: The Secret Service movie reviews:
Well
folks, that's how it's done. Ever thought MI-6 (note: that's what the
British call their secret service) is a club for snobbish, upper class
dudes who like to watch paint dry all they long? OK, Bond is kind of
cool (I hated the last two, though), but now we finally got a film that
takes spy movies to the next level. Not since 'District 9' have I had
that feeling during the watching of a film like "this movie just does
everything right" (by which I mean of course: it plays exactly to MY
taste).
Compared to this film, every James Bond movie released
after 'Licence to Kill' looks like a snore-fest. This is such a
kick-ass, "balls against the wall" crazy ride that I had to shake my
head several times in disbelief during the screening I was invited to.
And I actually knew what I was in for. I've seen every film by Matthew
Vaughn, but I was not prepared how far he was willing to go with this
one. Thought 'Kick-Ass' was pretty crazy? Wait till you see this.
One
of the key ingredients is the casting of the actors. The well known
stars all play against type, which makes this even more unreal. Remember
that lame dude who mainly played lame dudes in girlie movies like
'Bridget Jones'? He just won an Oscar for playing the stuttering King of
England, and as you will see in 'Kingsman', that Oscar was well
deserved: that dude (Colin Firth) can play anything! He's more bad-ass
in this than Bond ever was!
A word to the wise, though, this film
is not for the easily offended or the squeamish. It is a comedy but a
very, very violent kind of comedy. And the language alone will shock the
MPAA out of their pants. Watch this if you're into films like 'Lock,
Stock', 'Kick-Ass', or 'In Bruges' and you'll probably love it - don't
bother if you're more into serious films or family friendly comedies. As
for me, I had a (bloody) good time.
