Kingsman: The Secret Service

It's basically Harry Potter with spies.

Good show, lads.

Newcomer juvenile lead Taron Egerton -- handsome, bright, Welsh -- has promise. He should be moved in the direction of a good movie.

If ever there was a semi-entertaining movie that sabotages itself with tastelessness and misogyny, this is it.

On Day One of filming, they must have thrown away the moral compass and taken a group vow to splatter our sensibilities with stylish, gratuitous violence and one "Wait, what?!" moment after another.

Any sense of triumph is purely at the level of stuntcraft. The rest feels less than the sum of the moving parts.

Kingsman: The Secret Service is a film with a knack for punchlines and irony that end up providing it with a vision of the world of secret agents that surpasses its predecessors. [Full review in Spanish]

Although there's nothing much to take away from the film, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a highly entertaining film with fascinating characters and non-stop action from beginning to end.

Vaughn has proven himself an expert at adapting stories of such ilk, and here's another one—a film that seems to belong on the comic's page, but Vaughn brings it to the screen with a hilariously depraved edginess.

I liked Kingsman: The Secret Service because the film refuses to take itself too seriously. There's cool worldbuilding, and I want to see more of it.
