Brutally Entertaining.. Kill Bill meets James Bond meets Wrong Turn

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2015)

This movie was based from the Comic Book, "The Secret Service". I have not read the comic book so I do not know anything about this movie. I was expecting somewhat a Spy Kids type of movie. What with the lead character being on his teen (or at least he still looks like his on his teen). You wouldn't expect something "BONDish", BOURNEish" or "MIsh".
But lo and behold.....this movie is not for kids.. definitely. Limbs are flying everywhere, a human torso was cut into pieces, heads blown off....it's just like James Bond meets Wrong Turn out there. Though you can't actually say the premise as being too dark, I can safely say that it juggles between being serious and being comedic..
The movie is about a young man's (fondly called "Eggy" by his peers) journey on being a Secret Service agent for the secret group only known by their name, Kingsman where the agents names were taken from Camelot's Knights of the round table. He is to follow on the footstep of his deceased father who died heroically in one mission.
Unlike most movies where the main hero passes the test, this one chooses a different path. Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton) was made an agent not because he qualified but because he needs to be qualified given the predicament. By the way, I didn't find much significance between the agents training and their soon to be missions. The training and tests are just there I think as training and tests. That's all. I also find the training on caring for a dog and then as a final test, you'll need to kill that dog truly odd. Though there were blank bullets, I'd say, this test is stupid. The teens are being trained as agents and not as assassins. This portion of the movie reminds me of Azumi part 1 and Naked Weapon where part of the assassin's final training is to kill their partners. The final test in those movies is just appropriate given the fact that the protagonists are being groomed to kill without mercy. The agent's training in this movie is supposed to be on becoming a hero and to protect others. Why the hell would they be tested to kill a dog and then fail if they couldn't? It didn't make sense at all.
I will not go on into so much details. The movie is fun. It was a thrill ride from beginning to end. The action sequence are spectacular. The fight scenes are wonderfully choreographed especially those from Valentine's (name of the main villain played by Samuel Jackson) female assassin, Gazelle. Not to be outdone with were those coming from Eggsy as well as action sequences from Collin Firth who plays the role of Galahad, Eggsy's mentor. You may compare them with Kill Bill's but more fast pace.
It's a fun fun fun movie, the music is great, you'll love it. But if you're not into movies of the violent kind, stay away from this one.
