"Kingsman": reviews of the movie. "Kingsman: The Secret Service"

New adventure thriller "Kingsman: The Secret Service" reviews of film fans are called a real hurricane crazy mixture from all known "Bondiades", super popular "Harry Potter" and all youth comedies from the creator of the film comic "Pipets."

Virtuoso of genre templates

It's been five years since the slightly comedic "Pipets" directed by Matthew Vaughn burst into the genre of comic books about superheroes, and now "Kingsman" (critical reviews emphasize this fact) also suddenly invaded a super-spy movie. Director Matthew Vaughn in a creative alliance with the author of comic books Mark Millar, as well as in the project "Pipets", masterfully juggle with genre templates, while remaining ironic enough that the film did not turn into a parody. Matthew himself calls his work "Kingsman" (reviews of the film are full of this statement) with a love message to the classic "bondage" and all the other serials and films of spy themes that he likes to revise: "Flint's Double" (1967), "Ipkress Dossier" ( 1965), The Avengers (1961). The result of the joint work of Vaughn and Millar was a good, strongly "knocked together" action, with canonical villains and heroes, a sexy girlfriend and insanely beautiful killershami (the evil is always so sexy), and all this against the backdrop of the frantic drive that distinguishes every episode. Such a "cocktail" and Vaughn films are famous, supporting in the hearts of spectators a genuine envy of the world of secret services and leaving a feeling, if not too sincere, but extremely spectacular, typically a Hollywood box-office movie!

Explosive movie

In his new film, a British filmmaker, mostly working in Hollywood, strictly follows the calibrated formula for success, which he tested on the anarchist comic "Pipets" before the creation of this project. Vaughn simply shakes and mixes at first sight absolutely incongruous cinematographers. In the comic thriller of 2010, the youth comedy about the adventures of this loser and superhero comics collided. Reviews of the movie "Kingsman", based on the work of the same Mark Millar, note that in it the mix is at its maximum and is about to explode. The creators took a bit from the classic "Bond" - the spy center operates under the official signboard of the tailoring firm for man's suits and accessories - pens-garnets, dagger-shoes and bullet-proof umbrellas. After they added a bit of fantasy - the stepfather and the mother of the protagonist are very similar to the Dursleys, but more ossified and related to crime, mock the genius child until one day a magician rescuer suddenly appears on the threshold. Kingsman reviews viewers compare with Hogwarts, but instead of a personal owl, each student has a dog, and instead of a treasured magic wand - a suit that has unique properties.

Plot

In the past, super-agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth) saved his life by covering his body with a grenade, his colleague and friend. In gratitude, Harry swears to take care of Eggsie (Theron Edgerton) - the son of his deceased friend. Unattended, this clever and intellectually gifted youth slides down the slope. The near future threatens him to get into jail or find himself somewhere in a ditch with an overdose. Harry pulls the young man out of the next mess and makes him an offer to join the ranks of scouts after completing a mandatory course at Kingsman. But the time for training and obtaining spy knowledge is too little - there is an urgent matter, which will have to cope with the main characters. A certain Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson), a mysterious billionaire from the United States, distributes SIM cards around the world, luring people free of charge with the Internet and telephony, quietly steals selebrytis and prepares a huge plan to reduce the earth population. According to Valentine, which is not devoid of logic, people are a very dangerous fungus, killing our beautiful planet.

Cast

Reviews of the movie "Kingsman" emphasize the fact that the actors of the picture begins to beat faster heart of even the most cynical movie-skeptic. Colin Firth gives performances one pohlesche another, Samuel Jackson so reliably depicts a classic villain, with such ecstasy that it is unrealistic not to admire them. Simply fantastic Michael Caine and Mark Strong are so famously fighting the young Sophie Cookson and Sophia Butela that the picture, like fireworks, sparkles with all the colors of the rainbow. All the actor's splendor of the film "Kingsmen" (reviews about the casting of the actors exclusively eulogistic) is abundantly flavored with an impressive portion of satire and humor (moments of very frivolous), stunning special effects and a rhythmic soundtrack.

A spoon of tar

For the sake of justice it is worth noting that the film "Kingsman: The Secret Service" reviews received not only enthusiastic and laudatory. Domestic film critics compare the beginning star of Edgerton, who exchanged the teenager "Olympian" for a chic costume, with our Garik Kharlamov, and the film itself - with the national comedy "The Best Film". Foreign experts in the field of cinema manage to find similarity with the "American Pie" (by the present piquancy). Here such received "Kingsmen" responses. Can I watch a British picture? Solve the parents, if he had already looked through the "Pipets" and liked the film, then forward - let him join the film industry. 20-minute culmination action-attraction in the villain's residence high in the mountains is crowned with a close-up of the buttocks of the rescued beauty - a neutral Scandinavian blonde. What can I say, the creators' fantasy is truly boundless, although creative courage still has clearly delineated limits. It pleases and saves the film "Kingsman: The Secret Service". Reviews about the film mostly condemn the excessive frivolity.

7 facts that can be viewed

In addition to the impeccably-fitting costumes, the inimitable accent of Samuel L. Jackson, there are 5 more nuances that prompt the most insanely funny spy picture of recent years - "Kingsman: The Secret Service". The film, whose reviews are called its most remote among spy movies, contains an incredible amount of hooliganism and zubodrobilnogo action. Decorators, dressers and make-up artists of the picture tried to glory - she has an unforgettable chic style. All the suits sit perfectly, because they were sewn to order. After the release of the picture shop Mr. Porter released a special collection of clothes called Kingsman, and now every thing from the wardrobe of your favorite character can be bought online.

Colin Firth in action movie

The name of Firth is associated either with the king-stammer from the tape "The King Says!" Or with Mr. Darcy ("Bridget Jones"), especially the advanced gay professors ("Lonely Man") - that is, with comedies or dramas that Do not require the display of martial arts knowledge. "Kingsman" (reviews of the fans of the actor give an enthusiastic assessment of his new incarnation) shows Firth's skills in battle - he waves his fists, practicing martial arts and can easily put anybody on his shoulder blades. It is noticeable that for him this pleasure - for so many years to be in the status of an intellectual bungler and finally play a movie with fights!

Without love affair

A large number of spy movies were badly spoiled by the presence of a love line, which is not necessary in them (in the story of the man's love for arms, drinking and debt, unnecessary lyrical stamps were added). The film "Kingsman" (reviews emphasize his self-sufficiency) remarkably dispenses with the presence of a fatal girl, to which the main character must fall in love, and, accordingly, without demonstrating the master class on seduction. A beautiful nonconformist option for fans.

Generational Change

You can endlessly ironic about the plot line of the picture "Kingsman: Secret Service", reviews about the film sometimes look like a humorous feuilleton. But sometimes the movie looks pretty serious - for example, one of the secondary (subsidiary and branched) storylines illuminates the problem of domestic violence. Also, the creators went through the UK's class system quite harshly - Eggsi is continually being reproached for the lack of elite education and simple origins.

Without cynicism and snobbery. Kingsmen, reviews

Film reviews collect mainly positive, although there is something to quibble on the skeptical viewer. However, the entire creative team managed to achieve such an effect that the viewer of the picture to pick on and point out the mistakes do not want to. In any case, according to the opinion of most viewers who managed to join this masterpiece, Kingsman is an excellent and effective way to forget about his cynicism and snobbery (which are mocked repeatedly in the movie).

Benefit by Samuel Jackson

Most moviegoers associate Jackson with the "Pulp Fiction" or Marvel films, but his new role in "Kingsman" surpasses all previous ones, he's the coolest and brightest in his record. The shocking appearance ( Jil Sander glasses , a baseball cap, like a rapper, insanely bright shirts), the parodied Kanye West accent and outstanding ruthlessness to the human race - there have been no such remote and ruthless villains for a long time in the film industry.

Reloading the genre

I wonder what would have (if it existed in reality) special service "Kingsman" reviews? Film reviews are called entertainment of shameless persuasion. Vaughn at Kingsman grinds all conceivable genre and national stamps, beginning with the manner of dressing and ending with an accent, from young snobs from Eton to the broken pats from the neighborhood, from exaggerated deification of animals to admiration for quality drinking, from Michael Caine to Colin Firth, from the song Dire Straits to Roxy Music. Sometimes Waugh's irony turns into frank rudeness, but despite this, good old Britain managed to grow up really good guys. Of course, the film uses a lot of cliches: a rookie agent and his wise mentor, a world-wide villain threatening the entire planet, and his sexy girlfriend, a conspiratorized bunker stuffed with super equipment, and stunning adventures, and ultimately the expected Happy ending under the musical masterpiece of Bryan Ferry. But all this set of classic platitudes only in good hands could become such a film as Kingsman - moderately fervent, charismatic and very "tasty." In this, Vaughan's talent manifested itself in the ability to turn even predictable and to the maximum the expected scenes into an easy, immediate, and most importantly, whole story, from which the spectator does not take his cheekbones from boredom, but takes breath away.

The most juicy moments

And yet it's not just another action game on super-super-secret services and "bad" guys who, as a result, are the best agents of Her Majesty the Queen. In general, everything, as always, except for one "but": according to the idea of the writers, the hero turned out so cheeky, spreading to the right and left the heads of the henchmen of the main villain, that this film was banned for display in a loyal and democratic Sweden. Although, perhaps, the reason for this lies in the inhumane attitude towards our lesser brothers (we recall that the hero, having forgotten about the ubiquitous Greenpeace, dared to point the trunk at the pug-simp). But these are the florets - the most discussed scene was the episode of the massacre in the fundamentalists' church, which changed the polarity of the previously unflattering, slightly "black" humor, piercing the film, to something more sombre, somewhere affecting the moral foundations of deeply religious people. And, unfortunately, I could not understand what the director wanted to say with this fragment. Although Vova is clearly not creative and creative fantasy, even the last minutes of the film, other directors usually "blurred" and prolonged to impossible, he managed to decorate with a couple of episodes, from which just breathtaking.

Separately it is worth noting the main assistant of Doctor Evil, played by the Algerian dancer, this "sexy" could become an excellent decoration of any "bondage." Also great was Firth, who, despite all his irony over the old-fashioned film, looked at times even more "anachronistic", without noticing it, turning into the hero of an ordinary B-class fighter.
