Kingsman is easy to recommend on basically every level. The base level plot is entertaining, the fight scenes are engaging and varied, and the movie’s higher level commentary on society and meta level commentary on spy movies are all interesting.

Kingsman is easy for me to recommend because on a base level the plot is entertaining, the fight scenes are engaging and varied, and the movie’s higher level commentary on society and meta level commentary on spy movies are all interesting.

The only reason I wouldn’t recommend you watch this is if you don’t enjoy violence / action set pieces because this movie doesn’t hold back. In particular, there is a scene where hundreds of people literally fight to the death, which is difficult to watch even if you know it’s coming. If you can handle that, then I would say don’t hesitate.

As a rule in this movie, the fights are well choreographed and the camera work is entertaining. Rather than having a linear chase scene, the movie will opt for a parkour exit. Rather than shooting fight scenes in a dark room with close up shots, this movie will pull out and show a room full of people fighting. I found myself constantly surprised by the level of brutality that the film makers are willing to go to. As a result the film has real stakes and you don’t know when a sudden plot twist is coming.
