The fact that there are over 100 uses of the f-word take it out of the teenage crowd acceptability.

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2015)

"The suit is the modern gentleman's armor. The Kingsmen are the new knights." Harry Hart (Firth) has just lost his partner and friend. When he goes to tell the wife he leaves a present for his son (Egerton). Years later they two meet up again, this time Harry is a recruiter. Together, along with the rest of the Kingsmen. they must stop the global threat Valentine (Jackson) has set up. Before I really looked at the rating for this I was expecting a teenage Cody Banks type movie. After seeing it was rated R I was confused. The movie is very much geared toward the teenage crowd, but the fact that there are over 100 uses of the f-word take it out of the teenage crowd acceptability. The fact that the movie is about a younger agent takes this out of the older crowd's desire to see this. Colin Firth is very good and this is a different part for him. The main problem is that the swearing and violence push it out watch-ability for the crowd it is intended for. Had the movie been the same without the swearing it would have found an audience. As it stands its in between those that can't see it and those that don't want to. Overall, adding the unnecessary swearing really hurt the movie badly. I give this a C+.
