Fun movie! Great fight sequences and excellent camera work so you can actually see what's going on. Take note shaky cam directors! This is how it's done.
We follow Eggsy, a rebellious kid who gets into tumbles with the wrong crowd. Colin Firth's character, Harry, encourages him to become a Kingsman, a member of a highly elite secret service with amazing resources led by Michael Caine. Meanwhile Samuel L Jackson attempts to solve Global Warming.
Don't bring your kids, as it's a little gory.
The Good: Humour, Camp, stellar fights. Like classic Bond on steroids. The Bad: Samuel L Jackson's lisp. I think he did it all for the one joke where he complains that Brits sound funny. The Ugly: I felt guilty laughing at the Pomp & Circumstance sequence, but oh that was so perfect.
