James Bond meets Harry Palmer meets "Trading Places" meets graphic novels

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2015)

Superspy movies are among the most commonly spoofed, but that doesn't weaken "Kingsman: The Secret Service". Colin Firth once again gets to play a gentleman, while Samuel L. Jackson's megalomaniac businessman is the neatest character in the movie (and yes, he does use the word that Jackson uses in a number of his movies). And then there's a certain actor known as a certain Jedi. It's clear that they knew exactly what kind of a movie they were making, so they just let it be as outlandish as possible. Not a masterpiece, but funny enough to enjoy.
PS: The song played at the beginning of the movie is Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing", which "Weird Al" Yankovic spoofed as "The Beverly Hillbillies" for "UHF".
