C'mon,i thought we did away with this genre after spy kids...

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2015)

I expected so much much from the actors (Colin Firth, Nick Fury, Alfred, Luke Skywalker), you have got to set certain standards. I would say Colin Firth came out on top from the big four with a class act and others were pathetically under-utilized (point one). You see Bond - style introductions to everyone and then the movie deteriorates to a cross between Austin Powers and Spy Kids.
If you enjoy some violence though, you will get your money's worth, sickening killing scenes in there. I enjoyed some of the action sequences and hence the 5/10. The film was awful - the script was crazy and oft-seen to the point of being so predictable. The character eggsy is a classic Karate Kid role and a stupid kid turns out a great warrior at the end, you should be a movie virgin to not see that coming!
Samuel Jackson as the bad guy is so dumb and he might as well be sucking on a lollipop through the movie, that's how stupid his character seems. Michael Caine has so much less screen time than in first half hour of Nolan movies but then refer point one. Mark Hamill should have been drunk when he accepted the cameo and you feel sorry for Samuel Jackson to be a part of this movie. If you wanna watch, have very low expectations and you might just scrape through.
In the same genre, have you seen this series "The Middleman (2008)" - I strongly suggest you do, only a handful of people have seen it before it got cancelled. It is an excellent example of how good this movie could have been..
