Over the top and so much fun

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2015)

This is a crazy movie and is definitely too much - but in a very good way. If you don't like violence, over the top characters and plots, pass your way. If you do enjoy fun, old school, aesthetically gorgeous sets and direction and superbly choreographed fight scenes, this is for you. Though some of these moments were not always too my liking, it's hard to deny the pleasure you have watching this movie. The makers of the movie were all in great form: Millar's script is craziness at its best, and it is paired with Vaughn's superb eye and perfect pacing. Colin Firth was a great choice for the main character and Samuel L Jackson is obviously having fun. A winning spy movie, action movie, superhero movie, all rolled into one.
