Brilliant film

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2015)

Kingsman is brilliant. Lets not mess around here, it's a truly fantastic movie. Matthew Vaughn delivers a cracking spy film which delivers thrills and spills but also emotion so you can connect with the characters.
The acting in Kingsman in sublime. Colin Firth puts in a stellar performance, acting with grit and getting the comedic side bang on. Newcomer Taron Egerton is also fantastic, getting the right balance between hard man and nice man, without making his character too clichéd. The action and soundtrack are 2 other things which really stood out for me in this film, with the action sequences shot in a very unique and stylistic way that makes the action enthralling. The finale, without spoiling it, it particularly good for action sequences. The soundtrack is a mix of composed music made directly for the film and well known songs, like Guardians of the Galaxy. This works really well, and gives the film a fun tone and makes you smile.
The only reason this doesn't get a ten is because it felt a bit short in places, especially when Eggsy is training. Hopefully this will be extended on DVD, to add that extra bit of story. Maybe the back story was too confusing. Make up your own mind. Watch this film.
