Keep your expectations low ...

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2015)

Sadly I found Kingsman was not all it's hyped up to be but it does have some saving grace scenes. There was also a fair bit of fun, plenty of tongue in cheek, some really good action scenes too and only a few holes. The 'violence' never extended beyond being comically gruesome and stayed within its 15 rating limit.
Colin Firth was excellent and apparently performed 80% of his own stunts - which were impressive.
But the overriding thought I am left with is: "a film like that must surely have had enough in the budget to either cast a decent actor to play the lead role, or else to have paid for Taron Egerton to have had some acting lessons!" That guy's 'acting' was chronically painful! Get past that, leave any high expectations at home and I think most people would enjoy it.
