A violent and awesome comedy. That is Kingsman

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2015)

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) Kingsman: The Secret Service is a new movie directed by Matthew Vaughn, based upon the successful comic book from which takes its name. The official synopsis states the following: "A spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising, street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius." Reading this, one could say that the movie is about the development of a boy in the spy world and it really is, but does this in one of the funniest ways possible. Paying tribute to the old James Bond movies that is influenced by, Kingsman brings to our times some of the characteristics that made those movies into cinema classics. The everlasting charm and composure of an agent, but always keeping a bit of the old-fashioned swag; the megalomaniac, colorful and ever entertaining villain who plots the craziest and almost impracticable schemes; the variety of gadgets (what is a Bond movie without some of Q's gadgets?); fight- sequences, which, in this picture, are simply over-the-top even when compared with those like Terminator, Die Hard or Rambo. That being said, I need to praise the casting. Seeing Colin Firth, who plays Harry Hart/Gallahad, an actor that mainly played "the good guy" in movies like Bridget Jones, being an absolute bad-ass, even more than Bond ever was in any of his movies. Then the villain Valentine, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, who is one of most enjoyable characters to see. His lisp (the classic Bond villains always had an abnormality or physical dysfunction), his inability to see blood without vomiting or still his childish behavior (even being a genius) are "qualities" that will make you laugh a few times. The soundtrack is other department where the "Bond Tribute" was made. In spite of being in just some small moments, I could recognized some of the typical chords that John Barry made famous in the 007 Movies. This film is not for the faint of heart. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a comedy but a very violent kind of comedy. Slang is used often. Watch this if you enjoy films like In Bruges and you'll probably love it. As for me, I had a splendid time.
