Wonderful movie, full of surprises and nice quirks. Witty, charming, classy and humorous. There is so much to enjoy in this movie, including a very talented cast. The nod to the James Bond franchise is unmistakable and elevates the homage genre in the finest way. I feel like I am gushing in this review, but this really is a must-see movie for anyone that enjoys action packed thrillers with just the right touch of humor.
There is violence to be sure, but it is done in such a way, that is entirely unobjectionable and even farcical - but in the most enjoyable manner. Colin Firth is the perfect choice for Galahad and Samuel L. Jackson makes for the perfect "Bond" type villain, not to mention the metamorphosis of Taron Egerton into the perfect gentlemanly Kingsman.
I was fortunate enough to see this on the 4th of July, so the fireworks scene made me laugh in delight and cheer.
