Not too shabby

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2015)

Even though the theme of random people becoming spies/agents over night is indeed very worn out, Kingsman does not disappoint. The humor, where there is some, is pretty good but I must say -the close combat scenes were at times poorly directed. The acting was not bad and the villain was very well explained -though some things, like Gazelle for example, I found very unrealistic and far fetched. Samuel L Jackson amazing and the role he played was just perfect for him. The ending was just comical and the plot twists were well thought out though not exactly original. The overuse of swears was a bit annoying but really helped to set the mood sometimes.
