"Manners maketh man" One of the best films of the year

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2015)

I loved Kingsman, but it wasn't a masterpiece in cinematography, acting or a winner of any Oscars (it won't be), but this movie isn't striving for that, this is pure awesomeness. Anyone who loves badasses in suits, ultra- violence, and Colin Firth killing people in the most brutal possible ways will love this movie. The acting is still really good, with a complimentary cast, Samuel L. Jackson's character is hilarious, Colin Firth going from something like The Kings Speech to this is a wonderful breath of fresh air, and he fits in perfectly, Mark Strong also holds his own really well. But the real star is the newcomer Taron Egerton acting as the main character 'Eggsy' in the film, and he shows huge potential, and creates an extremely likable protagonist in Kingsman. Go see this movie if you want a tongue and cheek load of fun (if not quite inappropriate in terms of violence and sexual references: don't bring your kids). Really if you loved the original Kickass, this is a movie for you.
