Weird Name, Great Times

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2015)

Well played Mr. Vaughn. Well played. I've always appreciated Matthew Vaughns cinematic style, but the plot is always a tad too unique or doesn't click. Everything seems to click here. The plot is a bit out there, and the good vs. bad animated characters almost play out like a Saturday morning cartoon but it seems to work. Good is mostly good, and bad is evil. The characters are intriguing, the dialect entertaining, and the action is an old fashioned good time. Pun intended when referring to the Kingsman. The movie although predictable in some senses as far as the training for the most part, many things are not predictable. People die. Good people turn bad. And the beat down you always want to see from Eggsy (Egerton) to his mom's boyfriend doesn't ever happen even though he deserves it. There are many things that happen in the movie to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat and I wasn't really bored for a minute. I was surprised by the rating and wasn't sure what to expect from the R-rating. I expected a barely adult movie that was almost PG-13. Way off. There are numerous profanities used, and lots of blood. It was actually refreshing for there to be a legitimate adult movie made and not just an R-rated movie edited to fit mass PG-13 audiences. The action scene with Galahad (Firth) and the crazy church people.amazing. I will definitely be watching it again.
