Kingsman: The Secret Service, 2 Stars

So, I thought to myself, this has Colin Firth (The King's Speech) and Sir Michael Caine (Batman series), it must be good or cannot be too bad, can it? Yup, it can.

There's a good idea in here somewhere and it starts okay. And then the writers either ran out of material or lost their minds and got really silly. It moves pretty well in the beginning but then it starts to drag, gets pseudo-violent and takes too long to resolve. Firth and Caine are okay.

One redeeming aspect is Samuel L. Jackson (Captain America) with a lisp - he's great. And I just discovered that Mark Hamill (Star Wars in the 1970's) was in this (surprise, surprise!).

A 2 Star rating may be too high. Don't rush out but when you've got nothing else to rent, put it on in the background.
