Better than any James Bond movie if you ask me

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2017)

After watching Kingsman: The Secret Service I was very surprised I never heard about this movie before. When a James Bond movie comes out you can't see enough commercials about it. That this movie is inspired on the James Bond stories there is no doubt about that. But to me the difference with the OO7 movies and Kingsman is that Kingsman is just better. I really enjoyed this movie even though it was a quite long movie. There are no boring moments, there are plenty of well done action scenes, the special effects make it all look real, and the special spy gadgets are ingenious. I thought Kingsman was better than a James Bond because of the dialogues, the story, and the acting. While in any James Bond movie you always have moments that you think it's way over the top and that it's obvious OO7 will easily win the battle with Kingsman I didn't have that feeling. And while in a James Bond movie they explicitely look at their language in Kingsman it's all a bit rougher and closer to daily life. Colin Firth is always good to watch but also Taron Egerton that plays Eggsy, one of the main characters. I still can't believe I only watched this movie three year after it came out. I just saw there was another one and that will be the next movie I will watch.
