We watched Kingsman: The Secret Service over two nights, we had such a busy weekend!

It stars newcomer Taron Egerton who plays Eggsy who is a rebellious gangsta with a common English accent whose father was in 'The Kingsman' but died when he was little. The Kingman is a spy organisation who recruits 11 teens who must go through ultra-competitive training to become a part of the team. Samuel L Jackson plays a twisted tech genius named Valentine with an extremely entertaining lisp - and only uses words with 's' and 'th' in them. He has an assistant, Gazelle (Boutella) who has weird dagger feet instead of real feet that she parades on and kills everyone with- so so so strange. Colin Firth plays the Kingsman spy who recruits Eggsy after making an oath to his late father and is totally bad ass! With his cute English accent and good looks, making you feel safe when he speaks haha.

I felt there was a big hype on this film, always on in the movie previews, advertisements everywhere etc. The special effects including killing everyone drastically were absolutely terrible, they were probably made to look super fake but just gave you the wrong feel in the movie. The best parts are when the recruits get to pick puppies - Pugs, German Sheppards, Dobermans, Poodles oh my! and of course Samuel L Jackson's brilliant lisp. There's also a really weird 'asshole' situation at the end of the movie that made me cringe but I'll leave that one with you for when/if you watch it. Hopefully we'll see Taron Egerton in future English movies, would love to see him work with Noel Clarke my favourite Writer and Director who is famous for making movies such as Adulthood, Kidulthood and 4.3.2.1.
