The Film Review

In many ways, Kingsman feels like a classic Bond film. The villain and his plan are larger than life and quite ridiculous, which is remarked on by several characters throughout the film. The violence is realistic and hard-hitting but presented in a comic book style. It’s full of humorous one-liners, cheeky jokes, and gentlemen etiquette.

On first glance, you might assume that Kingsman is just a run-of-the-mill spy thriller. This would be entirely wrong.

Kingsman expertly balances a compelling and interesting plot centered around the Kingsman and Valentine, while simultaneously giving us a peek into Eggsy’s training. As the audience, Eggsy is our eyes and ears into the inner workings of the Kingsman, and we are often just as surprised and excited as he is when new developments appear.
