Original, FRESH and FUN!

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2015)

I am not usually a fan of "violent" films per se, but there was a certain degree of "candidness" and "innocence" in the violence portrayed in this film... and that combined with great acting, action and humor made this film just simply FUN and a delight to watch.
The idea of "gentlemen" agents is to the degree that they are not fully super"heroes" yet they are not fully "ordinary" either. It gives the audience the perfect room for a perfect level of "fantasy" combined with reality (for instance, the tailor shop in London).
There was no mucking about in this film. You are not given the time or the need to try delve into everything that is happening. You are not asking yourself 'why' is he doing that? what is the meaning behind that action? That symbol? etc. The film does not require you to wonder beyond what is necessary. In most of the "superhero" films these days we wonder what the back-story of the hero is - why is he the way he is? I was surprise to realize at the end of the film that not once did I really try to fathom where all these characters CAME from. They were just there doing all these amazing stunts and looking so dashing in these suits and I really appreciate that about the Kingsman. It is just PURE FUN. You are given the movie to enjoy and enjoy is what you do.
Everything is straight-forward. The story really does seem simple when you think back on it but at the same time, everything is done in such a DETAILED manner and that is what allows us to enjoy it as it is.
I found this movie just completely refreshing and original. Great cast, great locations, great stunts, great music and just.. a great time overall!
