very enjoyable

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2016)

I was genuinely surprised by how entertaining this movie was. I don't share most people's apparent surprise by how effective Colin Firth was in the role of Harry Hart, a well spoken , immaculately dressed but utterly committed secret operative of The Kingsman. Harry has a conscience and a mistake made several years ago prompts the selection of a seemingly unlikely wannabe recruit to the Kingsman's ranks.
The cast are all excellent, with young Taron Egerton seeming to be a star in the making. Only Mark Hamill is weak in his cameo.
Production quality is excellent, the script is funny and there are some fantastic set pieces, with good pacing and a genuine sense of danger at the end.
Films like Kingsman , The Man From UNCLE and Mission Impossible Rogue Nation merely serve to illustrate what a lazy uninspired cash grab Spectre was.
