Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) Full Reaction

Yes... I do believe you're also right. There was absolutely more than just one lesson to learn from the dog test, and Eggsy passed with flying colors! And yes... Eggsy is a good guy, with strong moral character. And Harry saw this in him from the beginning, just like he also undoubtedly saw in Eggsy's father too. Next month... I will request this movie's sequel... Kingsman: The Golden Circle for you both to enjoy since you both oved this first movie so much. And I can't wait! :) thank you, dear friends! Sincerely, Heidi

i was shocked! for a moment.. i thought he wanted to do all of that haha.. before i discovered the phone signal trick

Glad you loved it! to add something for the dog part.. where Eggsy is supposed to identify the missing bullet.. those guns are quite hard to detect a bullet.. due to having one in the chamber that doesn't move at all.. even if you don't use anything from the magazine.. the real test i believe was.. to be able to let go of any personal possesions.. maybe i am wrong.. who knows. but when Eggsy failed that test it made me sooo freaking happy! i saw him way above any Kingsman combined together.. an honorable act to show his true nature.. even if he couldn't kill the dog, the fact that he denied his action, says a lot about him!

That church fight scene was bonkers and is still one of the most insane action sequence I have ever seen. And what happened right after was unexpected. Great movie.

Kingsman: The Secret Service- Yay!!! Thank you very much for such an amazing movie reaction, Joy and Marian! And thank you for reacting to this movie for me!!! I am so happy you both loved this movie like I do. Normally, I don't gravitate towards watching movies that are this bloody and graphic, or that have so many swears like this one and its sequel do. However, this movie is very much an exception. The phenomenal cast within both movies was enough of a draw to suck me into going to see it, along with the story concept about the Kingsmen. I find everything about these movies so fascinating! Especially in learning about their history of how the Kingsmen come to be, which I will come back to momentarily... Plus... The action scenes are out of this world, and they're shot so differently from what I've ever seen before in any action movie. I've never seen action like this in any action movies, and it's absolutely incredible!!! First, there was a point in this movie that you misunderstood. To help clarify this for you... The test that allows for Roxy to become Lancelot isn't what you think. The test wasn't to see if she and Eggsy would actually be cold enough to shoot their dogs in order to get chosen as the newest Kingsman. The real test was to see if Eggsy and Roxy are smart enough to figure that a blank was in the gun. Harry figured this out and fired his gun knowing ahead of time that there was a blank in the gun. As did Roxy. Eggsy failed to see what their real tactic was. I hope my thoughts regarding this part of the movie you were confused by, helped you understand better. And now... I absolutely love Colin Firth as an actor. I think he's phenomenal, which is only one reason why Harry Hart, or Galahad is my favorite character throughout this movie. I love Harry's strength and his convictions, especially his drive to help Eggsy become the man Harry already believes he can be. I love Harry's moral core we see from him, which is why it's so sad to watch him kill all of those people inside the church, then to watch Harry come back to his true self upon awakening from Valentine's trance only to realize what he had just done and all the people he just killed so brutally. You can see his pain and the fear of himself within his eyes in this moment, right up until Valentine kills him. With this being said... The church fight is absolutely one of the most brilliant scenes all throughout this movie!! The action and everyone's movements while they're fighting is brilliantly shot. I also absolutely love the bar fight when Galahad knocks all of the men threatening Eggsy out, especially just before when Harry says one of this movie's most famous lines and one of my favorite quotes from this movie... "Manners maketh man." Merlin is my second favorite character. I absolutely love him, and I really enjoy Mark Strong in quite a large number of his movies. I love Merlin's friendship with Harry, Eggsy, and Roxy. I love how he is kind of the fun uncle type character. I also love his sass and smart aleck remarks when he's working to train, Eggsy, Roxy, and the rest of the recruits. And he's as much of a badass in the end fight as Eggsy and Roxy are too. I love that Merlin is the technical genius who works both behind the scenes, as well as right alongside the others. Eggsy, or Gary Unwin is played by actor, Taron Egerton. When this movie came out, I had never even heard of him, but overall... I really like Eggsy's character in spite of his constant swearing. I like his spunk and his own strength, especially in regards to him refusing to ever rat anyone out. Especially Harry when his mother's stupid boyfriend threatens him. I also love Eggsy's own drive to make Harry proud after Harry is killed. Harry being killed broke my heart because it's just so sad, but I love that Eggsy becomes all the better from Harry's death, and it allows for Eggsy to become a Kingsman in Harry's place after he's fired earlier on for failing to pass his final test, as he becomes the new Galahad. Also... I love how Eggsy helps and encourages Roxy to keep fighting through her own fears, eventually allowing for her to become the new Lancelot. I also really love Roxy played by Sophie Cookson, as well as Arthur played by Michael Caine, Gazelle played by Sofia Boutella, and of course Valentine, who is played by Samuel L. Jackson. Roxy is just a great character, and I love how she helps Eggsy as much as he helps her. I like their friendship a lot. Michael Caine is always brilliant in every role he plays, and while I hate that he turns out to be a bad guy, I like that I didn't see this twist coming, and that it allows for Eggsy, Merlin, and Roxy to do whatever is needed to defeat Valentine. And as for Valentine and Gazelle... They're unique characters that I just really enjoy watching throughout this movie. Especially Gazelle. She is absolutely amazing!! And I love that all of her fight scenes are actually fought by Sofia Boutella herself, and not a stunt double, because Sofia Boutella is actually a phenomenal professional break dancer. As for the overall story of Kingsman: The Secret Service... First, I love the history behind how the Kingsmen came about, told to Eggsy by Harry. I love that they were originally simply tailors like the agents' secret identities, to very rich men, who were all eventually killed in the wars, leaving their vast fortunes behind. So the tailors took that money and created a secret service agency devoted to protecting the world from villains like Valentine. An agency that works above the politics and bureaucracies. I also love the storyline of Harry and the other Kingsmen seeking out new recruits to take the place of their fallen agents, and seeing the training that goes into developing Eggsy's and Roxy's characters, along with the other recruits, including Charlie, who eventually fails and becomes evil along with Arthur, Gazelle, and Valentine. Overall... This movie is absolutely phenomenal, and I loved watching your reaction for it!! So, thank you very much again, my dear friends!! Like always, I look forward to many more great movie reactions from you!! :) Sincerely, Heidi
