‘What a very pleasant surprise!’

The above is my thoughts and feelings during and after watching action/adventure/comedy, Kingsman – The Secret Service.

Of course, I should have had way more faith – if only because the film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, part of the great team that brought us Snatch (2000) and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

Starring Colin Firth, Sofia Boutella, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Strong, Michael Caine and Taron Egerton; Kingsman – The Secret Service or Kingsman for short is a great movie.

A story of adventure, fun characters, action, well-choreographed fight sequences and some good old British gentlemanly charm.

Kingsman is also very stylish and I definitely don’t just mean the suits. There are one or two things that you’ll see coming, story-wise but even more so, the spectacle will surprise you and exceed your expectations.

All that remains for me is to patiently wait for the next instalment.

Hurry and see it, if you haven’t already. Hurry!

Happy Film Loving,

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Avengers Age of Ultron (2015).

‘Hope. I’ll take that from them first‘ Just more great Ultron (James Spader) dialogue. Also, how visually stunning is what happens from 1:47 to 1:58 seconds?

Without further ado….

KINGSMAN – THE SECRET SERVICE (2014): Now I’ll Definitely See It…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Kingsman – The Secret Service (2014).

I was only mildly intrigued before, but the great new Super Bowl trailer for director Matthew Vaughn’s Kingman – The Secret Service has convinced me to watch the film. 

It does help that Kingsman is written by Jane Goldman, whose other writing credits include Kick-Ass (2010) and X-Men First Class (2011).

As excited as I am, so far, there’s just  one thing that doesn’t sit well with me about this trailer – and that is the claim by Alex Zane of the UK’s Sun newspaper, that Kingman – The Secret Service  is ‘More Badass Than Bond.’

It’s incredibly hard for me to believe that there’s any other British spy movie more badass than Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Impossible, quite frankly. I shan’t entertain such an assertion. But I will watch this film, because it looks fantastic.

Happy Film Loving,

AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON (2015): James Spader’s Voice… *Sigh

If you thought the first trailer for Marvel’s Avengers – Age of Ultron was good, there’s more. Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man – all the Avengers are great. But as the movie title states. This is all about Ultron.

‘I’m going to tear you apart… from the inside‘

Really hear these words delivered by the wonderfully voiced James Spader (Ultron), and I think you’ll agree that evil has never sounded so good. To think I once believed ‘There are no strings on me‘ from the first trailer was the best line.

2015 is going to be one of the best years for film. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! That is a scream of joy. Holding it in? Impossible.
