Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Brandon S — 01 Oct 2017

The most fun I've had at the movies in a long time. Matthew Vaughn has truly outdone himself.

This movie has it all: consistent humor, intense action that is beautifully choreographed and shot, a stellar cast of Britain's finest, and so much nostalgia it's hard not to keep smiling.

Vaughn is clearly a James Bond fan, but not the gritty Bond that we're so accustomed to now. They literally say it at one point in the film. He's a guy who loves what the audience loves: a convoluted and ridiculous plot, a flamboyant villain, and impossible technology.
