Aussie boy's thoughts

It’s simple and clear to announce: Kingsman is an entertaining, violent and silly spy movie that completely dodges the drama genre. There’s no powerfully compelling concepts or themes that deal with mature subject matter, but it’s perfect at providing an immensely fun time to just laugh and enjoy some well-made action!

Matthew Vaughn is unquestionably excellent at directing this amusingly diverting tale, which he and Jane Goldman did an exceptional job at writing for the screen. Kingsman: The Secret Service is also a great example of plainly original gold. There’s very clever and stylish sequences, all relating to the theme around a secret spying agency that’s never taken soberly. Taron Egerton is an entirely witty lead, with the hilarious Samuel L. Jackson as this perfectly silly antagonist.

Other than when this comedy is creating bloody action sequences or advancing towards the well-paced results, it’s focused on an intriguing kick off, which finds the ‘contestant’ characters in intense situations. Despite how it sometimes discovers a tiring feeling, Kingsman is a completely fearless and effective action-comedy directed at pleasing older teens and adults.
