Funny, badass, and above all, fun.

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2018)

I love this movie a lot. It's honestly the most underrated movie of all time for me. Quite a few people don't like it because it's extremely violent but it has an R rating for a reason. Vaughn's style of action scenes work so well for this movie. They're chaotic, have unique camera angles and movements that focus on what's most important in a scene and they don't just use the whole one punch changes to a different shot that Hollywood loves so much which makes it very refreshing. It's a very, well, "British movie" with British humour and slang that I'm surprised most Americans can understand. The soundtrack is incredible as well, Manners Maketh Man might be my favourite track. The movie can get a little silly at times but it's a comic book movie so I can't really nag it for that. The movie clearly isn't meant to be taken seriously and I like that. It's refreshing to have a movie for once that is made to be fun and not just action with dark settings and occasional humour. Highly recommend this. Too bad the sequel is an absolute mess.
