A great blend of a spy film with crazy OTT action

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2015)

Kingsman: The Secret Service was just simply so much goddamn fun. I had heard that it was a fun film but i had no idea just how great it was going to be. This movie was filled with crazy intense action sequences and some more subtle jokes that show up every now and then. The plot of this movie you think is something you have seen before but it continuously surprises you throughout and just when you think you know is going to happen it throws you a curveball. These surprises helped to make the film so much more entertaining. Lets start with the action sequences because they are by far the best scenes of the movie. They are just awesome edge of your seat action sequences that are exaggerated in terms of the violence and gore to make them really unique. The way they are shot is incredible how they don't use conventional shots instead there are some crazy rotating continuous shots that make the scene that much more awesome.
This film did have its fair share of comedy, and i thought it did pretty well to make me laugh. Only 2-3 times it didn't work for me but otherwise the smart and subtle comedy was very effective. And the jokes and bizarre action would not have been as awesome without the incredible cast they got. From the big names such as Samuel L Jackson and Colin Farrell to Taron Egerton and Sofia Boutella they all did amazing jobs in their roles and were so fun to watch. They do a good job at creating an enemy who you know is bad but you cannot resist to love him because of the character itself and the actor playing them.
The main criticism i give this film was that there were a couple of moments that it slowed down a little too much before going into some intense action scenes. The jokes they crack during these scenes and just overall interest in the plot help a little to not get too restless. But they are a minor offence as all of the good this movie does overshadows the bad. In the end, this movie was a great blend of crazy intense action, engaging characters and plot, and a little bit of comedy to add to the fun - 8.9
