Matthew Vaughn's James Bond Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2017)

I think this is the fifth movie or so of Matthew Vaughn and he doesn't stops surprising me. With only four movies more, he has already made many different genres and he has show that he has a real ability of creating and filming. And this movie isn't less.
It tells the story of Eggsy (Taron Egerton) a young unrefined boy who suddenly gets recruited by a ultra-secret spy agency called Kingsman, where is father had been working until he was killed. The story is very entertaining and it has some very funny moments that will keep you watching it. (For example the fireworks-head-blowing scene).
Taron Egerton is a newcomer in here but he does it very well. He is able to introduce you in the world of Kingsman like a normal person would you (being like WTF is this?). Colin Firth as Harry Hart is also very good providing one of the most hardcore scenes of an action film in a long time (it involves a church from Kentucky). Samuel L Jackson as the villain Richmond Valentine was also great and very funny with his strange accent and his phobia to blood. And a special mention to Mark Strong, a usual collaborator in many Matthew Vaughn films, who here plays the role of Merlin, one of the main technicians of the Kingsman agency.
The visuals were amazing. Matthew Vaughn is not afraid of showing blood when necessary, but not in a disgusting way, just making us have a good time and he truly delivers it. The scene of Eggsy infiltrating in Valentine's Lair or the pub fight with Harry at the beginning are one of the best action moments I have seen in a long time. And to this you have to add an amazing score created by Henry Jackman & Matthew Margeson, also frequent collaborators, who here create an epic, action-packed, heroic score, with parts with a clear homage to classic spy-action movies, like the pub fight music, as well as it is done in the rest of the movie.
Matthew Vaughn does not stop surprising me and here delivers a very funny, entertaining, violent and crazy spy adventure that you won't regret watching it, I'm sure.
