swimfast-30422 Positives: Cast is really great and sells the Bond movie vibe (especially Firth and Egerton), action scenes are very well choreographed, not a whole lot of humor but really funny moments. Negatives: Very convoluted plot, ending is too campy and has really fake-looking CGI, follows the spy movie formula religiously.This is a very fun spy movie, but the end and the obvious formula leave you thinking, "What was the point?"

Kirpianuscus ...from the fans of James Bond to the admirers of Michael Caine or Colin Firth . from the Kick Ass admirers to video games fans. a film like a huge mall. a sort of candy shop. seductive, with few significant holes, mixing secret service with Kill Bill and giving, as the most significant presence a crazy performance from Samuel L. Jackson remembering the cinema of Quentin Tarantino. sure, the revelation is the young Taron Egerton. but the basic virtue of film could be its humor. and its... modesty. because the fun is the precise tool for save a film for a public looking for sensations.

danskristina I thought the movie was below average from the beginning, but the cliches and especially the sexist ending resulted in me even regretting watching it. Seriously, it's the 21st century and people still think it's ok to put a woman in a cell, have her bargain with a kiss to be set free by the so called "hero" and promising him, a complete stranger, anal sex if he saves the world (and actually giving it to him when he succeeds). I also resent the cliche with the woman being from Scandinavia, which reinforces the false image of women from these countries being "easy". Save yourself the agony of this crap movie and watch something else!

CriticalOfEverything I love this movie a lot. It's honestly the most underrated movie of all time for me. Quite a few people don't like it because it's extremely violent but it has an R rating for a reason. Vaughn's style of action scenes work so well for this movie. They're chaotic, have unique camera angles and movements that focus on what's most important in a scene and they don't just use the whole one punch changes to a different shot that Hollywood loves so much which makes it very refreshing. It's a very, well, "British movie" with British humour and slang that I'm surprised most Americans can understand. The soundtrack is incredible as well, Manners Maketh Man might be my favourite track. The movie can get a little silly at times but it's a comic book movie so I can't really nag it for that. The movie clearly isn't meant to be taken seriously and I like that. It's refreshing to have a movie for once that is made to be fun and not just action with dark settings and occasional humour. Highly recommend this. Too bad the sequel is an absolute mess.
