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

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]

SHIFTER

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.

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 3/4

Couldn't finish it, Samuel L Jackson's acting was so bad in this and I usually love what he does but not this time.

Impeccable direction and good acting. In addition to the story that keeps you hooked, there is something about the characters that really makes you feel something.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Oh my God, it’s literally so funny. You have to watch it. Amazing writing, fabulous casting, the sets are beautiful, the camera work is amazing, overall a must watch. If you have an issue with really scary movies and you think this might be an issue for you, I really don’t think it will be because although there’s a lot of violence, it’s leaning more towards slapstick and extremist comedy as opposed to just straight gore, and it’s just overall so good. I’m not the biggest fan of super scary things but this was a million out of 10. not scary at all and just such a good watch.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
