Ready. Set. GO!!
Kingsman is absolutely fun. Based on the comic by Mark Millar and directed by Matthew Vaughn (kick-Ass), Kingsmen has the same over the top vibe like Kick-Ass but with secret agents instead of wanna be superheroes and it works really good with the film making fun of the spy genre while also paying tribute to the old spy films including James Bond with a fun twist on the whole "Bond gets the girl" moment that was hilarious. The action is great with Matthew's direction going nuts on guns and knives all over the set-pieces with Gazelle, the chick with the shoe blades, being a huge show-stealer alongside with Samuel Jackson and Colin Firth on delivering some very badass moments including the scene where Colin Firth beats the sh*t out of religious fanatics, which it gave me a huge "F*CK YEAH" moment in the theater. There are a few problems like the pacing being a bit sluggish and the story being completely predictable with an obvious third climax but the manic fun, crazy action, wonderful performances and just the sheer great surprise moments all make up for it. Kingsman is a "Kick-Ass" experience (no pun intended) and I recommend this to anyone for a mood on action comedy films until the big boys come out.
