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.
