The next movie to be reviewed will be "Kingsman: The Secret Service" movie. I will be listing some good and bad things about the movie while kind of giving it a summary of what happens. There is a lot of ****SPOILERS **** in this review so if you haven't seen the movie yet I wouldn't read this further until after watching it.
The Kingsman movie starts off with Colin Firth's Character Harry Hart who is on a mission with a recruit of his but fails to check the prisoner for a pin to a bomb. The recruit jumps on the enemy bad guy and then saves everyone else in the room including his mentor Colin Firth. This was a good starting point to the movie because it set the stage up for the rest of the movie I wouldn't have done anything different for the opening part of the movie I thought it was done well by getting the audience wanting more answers.
In the next part of the movie Harry Hart visits the dead recruits' son eggsy -- played by Taron Egerton -- and wife. Harry bestows upon the kid a necklace of the kingsman. Eggsy is kind of a street kid in trouble later when hes grown up because his mom had to settle for a lowlife scum after his father died in service and always argues with him. Eggsy gets in trouble after stealing a car from one of his Mothers boyfriends henchmen and ends up going to jail. This is where he reads the back of the necklace and calls up Kingsman to come help him out of the tough jam. Personally I think the movie could have done away with this part because I don't think it brought much to the story to bring Eggsy's family into it. This is because we don't get to see them throughout the movie so in my opinion the director could have just had eggsy steal a random person's car and it would have served the same purpose.
The movie brings Eggsy to be recruited by Harry who allows the mastermind of computer operations to train him along with other recruits. The recruits learn to fight, shoot and do other crazy tasks just to be able to get into the kingsman organization. They must do some pretty wild stuff like having to skydive off a plane, run for miles, learn to shoot.The training also entailed tests that gave the recruits the decision of spilling their guts about the organization or sacrificing their lives to keep the organization a secret. I thought that the training part of the movie was nice it helped to set up how Eggsy and other recruits learned how to fight and be excellent marksmen against their opponents. I wouldn't have changed anything about the training part of the movie.
The main villain of the movie was Samuel Jackson's character known as "Valentine" is set to take over the world by convincing political leaders that a majority of the population must be eradicated in order to keep the human population of earth going. Valentine sets up a factor that builds many random chips that can lock in to peoples brain's and force them to fight each other and rampage against each other. Valentine though is a different kind of villain in that he is quirky and funny at times and other times he gets down to business. He has a bodyguard though is a female bodyguard that has hooks as feet and can slice people with them. There were a couple of funny parts of the movie where Valentine has Harry Hart over for dinner and has a tray of McDonalds ready to be served. I thought that the movie did a good job adding some comedic elements into a seriously violent based movie so that's a good thing that was accomplished. Some weird remarks could have been avoided though in the movie like at the end when Eggsy promises to save the princess in the prison cell who was abducted by Valentine. This is because the girl agrees to be sexed after Eggsy goes and saves the world. Things like that are for a mature audience thus the movie was Rated "R" but some elements just don't need to be added in the movie.
At the end of the movie its Eggsy along with only one of the other recruits -- female recruit Eggsy met at training -- to take down Valentine's operation. Eggsy also still has his esteemed computer Wizard from the Kingsman who helps hack the network slightly so they can stop the master plan from continuing. Anyways at the end of the movie Eggsy does a lot of fighting and ends up fighting Valentine's main bodyguard woman who is ultimately defeated by being poisoned by a slice of Eggsy's shoes with blades attached to them. Eggsy finished off the movie by killing Valentine by throwing a spike right through him and then saving the world. They also at the end added a piece of what happened at the beginning of the movie where Harry Hart took out the henchman of Eggsy's Mothers boyfriend. I thought that the fight scenes in the movie were done quite well and I wouldn't honestly have changed any of that part of the movie. I liked how they set up the fight scenes but the story of the movie could have been slightly better.
All in all the movie was enjoyable and I thought it was a good movie. Everyone has their own opinions on the movie but I thought it was one of those "see once" type movies. You see it once and you are satisfied you don't need to watch it again. I think that the movie was done well and as such I think it deserves an 8 out of 10 rating. It has a lot of action -- fighting -- and there are some other parts of the movie that keeps you tuned in. Towards the end though having the villain be more comical and less serious kind of takes away from the movie in my opinion. What did you think of the movie? Could there have been instances of the movie you would have liked to fix to make the movie better? Was the story line a good story line or was it a boring movie? Let me know in the Commends below!
