Stylish and Widely Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2018)

'Kingsman: The Secret Service' may have a clichéd and unoriginal plot, but it is excused to it's stylish and entertaining approach and talented cast. This film may have paid homage to spy films such as the well-known-and-loved Bond series, but it's too smart to be considered a parody, but also too silly and ridiculously clichéd to be considered a serious film. However, this ultimately is excused by the fact that this movie is just so cool! With extremely stylish action sequences, memorable characters portrayed by great actors and hilarious humor, this film is a highly enjoyable watch that will leave its audience in awe. The action in this film is so over-the-top and stylised that it results in being some of the best action sequences I've seen in film for a long time. But the reason this movie is so great is all due to it's cast - Taron Egerton is fantastic as the lead role of Eggsy, but we all know that it was Colin Firth who stole the show. He effortless nails his role, and is essentially the main reason this film is as great as it is. Overall this movie is one of the most entertaining and rewatchable films of 2014 due to its highly talented cast and stylistic approach.
