Crazy, over-the-top ultra violent fun!!!
I just came back from a
pre-screening of 'Kingsman' and let me tell you: if you liked the first
Kick-Ass, you are going to LOOOVE this film! I would never have thought
that a stiff Brit like Colin Firth could pull off action - but boy,
does he whoop ass in this one. I thought the story was rather original
(don't know the Comic), it's a bit like an ultra violent James Bond
parody. Or better: a crossbreed of Bond and Kick-Ass. Finally an action
movie that doesn't use kiddie-gloves. The kid who plays the recruit is
also worth mentioning. I've never seen him before but he really nails
it. There's a lot of humor in this film, it really doesn't take itself
too seriously, but it's not overdone. And Sam Jackson finally found
something he hasn't done yet. I guess his role was already spoiled a bit
in the trailer, but believe me: you haven't seen Jackson in this kind
of part before. This is an excellent, over-the-top bloody and sexy film
for fans of old-school action films. I give it 10 stars. Highly
recommended!
