Spending time
watching Kingsman: The Secret Service might seem like a colossal
mistake to some because many scenes feel off, and the whole James Bond rip-off
vibe can be a turnoff. But Kingsman is totally fun to watch—you have
to see it.
The movie has a
way of taking the normal and making it high-tech and funny at the same time.
The movie keeps
you guessing about the villain’s motives. We know he’s the bad guy, but what
the hell is he up to? The movie’s intense violence (especially the church
scene) is captivating. Some might see it as filler, but to me, the violence was
fun to watch, and the choreographed fights were memorable.
Based on The
Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, first published in 2012,
the movie introduces our leads as they try to foil a Middle East attack. A
death leads to the introduction of Eggsy and Harry Hart (Colin Firth), who,
along with a few others, must prove themselves worthy to join the Kingsman
Secret Service. Kingsman is an independent secret service organization free
from government control or political ambition.
A professor
named James Arnold is kidnapped by billionaire Richmond Valentine (Samuel L.
Jackson). In an attempt to save him, one of Hart’s comrades,
"Lancelot," is killed by Valentine’s henchwoman, Gazelle.
The Kingsman
group now investigates Valentine’s plans, while around the world, many
prominent people and celebrities go missing. Valentine takes his plot further
by releasing a SIM card that gives users free internet and calls.
The Kingsman
must find a way to stop Valentine while dealing with a mole in their
organization.
Spoiler
Alert:
Colin Firth’s death in the movie is painful and shocking. It adds to the fun,
but when you watch a movie like this, hoping for a sequel or even a trilogy,
the death of one of the main actors—and the coolest guy in the film—makes you
wish the writers had thought ahead.
But if there’s
going to be a part two and they find a way to bring him back to life, it’s
forgivable, no matter how crazy or silly it might be.
If you haven’t
seen this financial success and one of the best movies of last year, please
stop reading this and go watch it.
The way the movie has been accepted, is probably going to lead to it becoming a franchise, and I expect to see sequels soon.
