Kingsman

Kingsman is a movie about an undercover spy ring that is independent from any government agency. the movie, overall, was amazing! 100% would watch gin! The entire film had a James Bond aura about it (seeing as it's a spy film and most of the actors are British and all). Director Matthew Vaughn did an amazing job with the film. There were a few drawbacks, of course, but overall I would definitely recommend this movie to any action movie aficionado. With Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Firth, and Michael Caine on cast, the film went from "I might want to see this movie" to "WHERE ARE MY KEYS WE'RE GOING TO THE MOVIES RIGHT NOW!!!" Kingsman is Colin Firth's very first action movie and I feel that he did an outstanding job in this role since he usually plays the uptight Englishman or romantic interest. I would honestly dare to say that this role is definitely a career changing role.

This movie brings a twist on the usual action movie. in Kingsman, the comedy element is perfectly timed to ease tense moments; they didn't feel out of place. Jackson's character is both bada** and weak, which is fantastic (SPOILER he even says motherf*s towards the end). Caine plays his usual part as the wise mentor/ leader and he played it brilliantly. Colin Firth plays a James Bond-esque character that is the mentor to the underdog (Alfred much? [yes that was a Batman reference]). All of the actors in this film played their roles fantastically.

The soundtrack suited this film perfectly and just made every scene feel majestic, dramatic or bad-ass, and went perfectly with the cinematography.The cinematography of Kingsman is, overall, very very good. I felt that, during the fight scenes, was a bit too shaky for my liking. The contrast between normal speaking scenes and the fight scenes is amazing and the shakiness makes it seem like you are the one getting knocked out. The slow motion during certain hits dramatically emphasized the skill of the agent. The smoothness of the filming of the maneuvers makes it feel like the actor is bionic. During the rest of the film, they emphasized certain parts of the set that gave the entire film the cliche spy move feel. Overall, I feel it was very well filmed.

This movie gets 4.5 out of 5 stars from me. So go, grab a buddy or your dog (I wouldn't recommend your dog, but it's your choice) and GO WATCH THIS MOVIE! Or pre-order it here so you can yell at the screen without judgment.
