Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Bikerjames — 09 Mar 2015

Although I enjoyed myself, I do think the film had some issues. The fast edited fight scenes go on way too long, it's really violent, and the film can't really decide if it's an all out comedy or drama.

At times it has "Airplane" type of humor, like it's making fun of the spy genre, and other times heavy on the drama. At one point they even poke fun of product placement in movies with McDonalds, again showing the "Airplane" style of satirical humor.

Somehow it all worked for me mainly due to the spirited acting by everyone involved. Not really a film I would desire to see again but fun for an afternoon.
