One of the most entertaining movie of the decade

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2016)

Matthew Vaughn's third attempt at a comic book series adaptation after Kick Ass and X-Men movie, and it triumphs over anything he has done previously. I watched this movie a year ago, but I haven't come around to review it yet until now.
Granted this movie is not for the oversensitive chaps who go "Awful!" at the tiniest bit of dark comedy and violence. It's for the mature audience who enjoy comedy just for the sake of comedy mixed in with uncensored violence. This movie is what the product would be like if the Bond series had mated with Men in Black. It's offensively funny yet full of tight action that'll thrill you. It was one of those movies where I just went "Darn, this has no flaws". Many movies have tried to break the barrier between comedy and action before yet none has been as successful as this movie in the endeavor. There's specifically a scene halfway through the way which is incredibly offensive yet quintessentially hilarious.
Now, on to the casting. Colin Firth? Most people know him because of the amount of romcom and drama he has done in his career. So it's hard to take someone like him in a movie like this seriously right? But he is surprisingly brilliant in this movie. His monotonous countenance is a surprising to say the least. Samuel L Jackson's role might nark off some people but his lisp and hilarious philosophy elevates the movie. Taron Egerton is also a surprising young talent who holds his ground against Academy award winners like Caine and Firth. Sofia Boutella's role is ridiculously thrilling and hilarious as well, as a handicapped woman who walks on bladed prosthetic legs, practices capoeira and cuts down men in two without sweating.
As a caveat, I'll warn off people who don't like violence and offensive comedy (AKA black or gallows comedy), this movie is NOT for you. Rather this was tailored made for people who love movies with ridiculous humour and action sequences. One of the best movies of 2015, and undoubtedly the best spy-fi movie of the decade (go ahead Bond fans, lynch me).
