Never judge a book by its cover.

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2015)

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking "wow that looks stupid" but as the film got more & more positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. And, it was better than I could have ever expected.
The films strongest point is it's comedy. The film takes every opportunity to make the audience laugh and all the jokes are spot on. The cast were superb, Taron Egerton as the lead was great and I hope to see more of him in the future. The rest of the cast were awesome (Firth, Caine etc) and Samuel L. Jackson plays one of the funniest villains ever put on film, at first I thought it was going to be annoying to give him a lisp but no, it had me rolling on the floor.
If I had any issues with the film, I'd only say that the fight scenes can be a little too over the top & that can be a little distracting at times.
Overall, Kingsman is a great film and I'd even go as far as to say it's one of the best comedies in the last 10 years. Its clearly satirizing the James Bond films but this is how satirical films should be done. Humour, a good story and a lot of heart and memorable characters. There are talks of a sequel and I'm all for that.
