It's Not Amazing. It's just Not Bad.

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2015)

When I saw the trailers for Kingsman The Secret Service, I thought it would be a holy new take on the spy genre. A bloody, destructive and funny new film. But unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The film is another Traditional Spy film with a bit more blood and a bit more swearing. But it does good at what it does.
The whole film revolves around a kid with a ridiculous name. Eggsy. YES. But I'll call him Gary because that is his real name. He is chosen by Harry Hart or Galahad from Kingsman. A spy organization that is on the verge of being discovered by a internet billionaire who is almost child like, Valentine, who is planning on giving out free SD cards that will give you free calls and internet forever. But it turns out that the whole thing is just a mass murdering machine that will turn everyone into bloody destructive hating killers.
The film as a whole is traditional and doesn't add anything new to the genre. It's your simple spy movie about a villain who wants destruction.
The Comics are by Mark Miller. A guy who created the comic Kick-Ass. So when I watched it, I expected it to be very bloody and gory. But instead, it's bloody. But I feel that It could have been gorier which could have made this film a lot more fun.
I'll just say it without spoilers. The three main actors, well... lets just say something bad happens to all of them. Samuel L. Jackson's Valentine is a good villain. He acts like a child who can't stand the sight of blood. Michael Caine and Colin Firth have some great things to do in this movie and its fun to see Firth kill like 40 people in a white supremacist church.
I can't really say much because I expected it to be this groundbreaking new spy film that would become a classic. But unfortunately, this doesn't go on classic levels. It is a huge crowd pleaser though, and will entertain many fans of the genre.
75/100 B-
