Great fun

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2015)

Kingsman: The secret service is a thoroughly entertaining movie. It sits somewhere between the Bond movies and the Austin Powers movies in terms of action comedy genre.
The film follows the prospects of Eggsy (Taron Eggerton) in his attempts to follow his fathers footsteps into the secret service. Galahad (Colin Firth) is responsible for trying to get Eggsy to join the service. The film succeeds in the area that so many other films fail - you care about the characters! This isn't only true of the lead characters either, it is also true for several of the supporting cast. There are plenty of laughs and a very memorable visual scene towards the end of the film. I guess some of the laughs may be a little vulgar for some peoples tastes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the film!
