Chaotic, funny, fresh, action-packed and highly enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2017)

MATTHEW MAKETH FILM! For some one who grew up with Mr. Connery as 007: swaggering around with his Beretta, the iconic ladies man and never daring to swear, I went in to this film, more than a little skeptical but I am very happy to say that I was NOT LET DOWN AT ALL!
Kingsman: The Secret Service is a hugely enjoyable ride and I was hooked from the word "action".
Kingsman has a lot of the things we've come to expect from most modern-day films: explosive action, swearing, famous faces, end-of-the-world plans and so on, and though Kingsman does indeed have all those things, what it does is it keeps you gripped from the very start!
Matthew Vaughn's directing on this giant project is brilliant! Choreographing huge, bloody and explosive actions scenes like the devastating Church massacre, end-of- the-world carnage or the NOW famous pub brawl! But as well as putting together some really brilliant action scenes, Vaughn also really gets the best out of his cast!
Every member is on TOP FORM! Colin Firth delivers a brilliant, charismatic and highly enjoyable performance as Agent Harry Hart: a character totally different to what he's used to, and for those of you out there who think all Firth can do is act posh and wear a top hat, YOU ARE WRONG! Firth seriously gets in on the action!
But enough about him, Taron Egerton delivers a very well-acted and authentic performance as Eggsy! Egerton plays the slightly yobbo chav very well but he also plays a character who cares deeply for his loved ones and knows the difference of right and wrong! The only criticism I have about Egerton's character (and this applies to the rest of the cast): and that is that there is rather too much swearing!
Now I know the odd f*** and sh** is sometimes rather funny but the swearing in this film rather goes over the top and there were a few points where I wanted to say "Oh wash your mouth-out!"
But this was all minor for a film that really delivered!
Enjoyable, charismatic, funny and authentic performances from the whole cast! The great Mr. L Jackson is brilliant as the lisping megalomaniac and delivers the performance with real zest and really gets his inner Bond villain on! Very enjoyable performances from co-stars too! Strong is great and (as always) delivers a very strong performance! Authentic performances by Sofia Boutella, Sir Michael Caine and Jack Davenport as well.
There is also a hilarious performance turned in by the great Mark Hamill. However, unfortunately his is more of a cameo but still very fun!
The scenes are brilliantly acted out by everyone but obviously this is partly down to the script, courtesy of Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn himself! I can wholeheartedly say that the pair deliver a both funny, clever, and dramatic script!
This film is more of a action-flick in terms of tension and can sometimes feel predictable but it still keeps you hooked from the very beginning!
All these factors propel the film to it's finish, the cataclysmic world VS itself battle and though this is a devastating idea, it is very amusingly uplifted by the soundtrack of KC and the Sunshine band with "Baby Give it Up"!
So, like I've said: all these factors, combined together, produce a really enjoyable and pretty cool film! Obviously it has it's downs, (the swearing and it being more than a little smutty-the princess!) but I think that the good points, firmly out- weigh the bad!
A real fun and fresh movie! Roll on the Golden Circle!
