Kingsman: The Secret Service- Yay!!! I am so happy you loved this movie like I do. Normally, I don't enjoy movies that are this bloody and graphic, or that have so many swears like this one and its sequel do. However, the phenomenal cast within both movies was enough of a draw to suck me into going to see it in the theaters, along with the story concept about the Kingsmen. I find it fascinating, as well as 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. First... 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, in hope of repaying his father for saving his life years earlier. 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. But with that being said... the church fight is also one of the most brilliant scenes all throughout this movie. The action and everyone's movements while they're fighting is brilliantly shot. Especially watching Harry himself. Oh... and the song played during this fight is Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Fantastic song, and what a brilliant song choice for this fight! 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... "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 both behind the scenes and right alongside the others. Yes... Merlin is quite the wingman. 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. And I really like the actor who plays him too. I like Eggsy's 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. 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. Roxie is just a lot of fun and 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 traitor, I like that I didn't see this twist coming, and 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. I love that all of her fight scenes are actually fought by Sofia and not a stunt double, because Sofia Boutella is a phenomenal professional break dancer. She's amazing. 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 when Harry first brings Eggsy into the fold to recruit him. I love that the Kingsmen 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 and unclaimed. So the tailors took that money and created a secret service agency devoted to protecting the world from villains like Valentine. An agency above the bureaucracy that other agencies such as the CIA, NSA, FBI, and others must follow. I 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 really loved watching your reaction for it. I would absolutely love to see you watch and react to this movie's sequel... Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which I would love for you to watch for my next movie request for July. It's really great too! So, thank you very much again, Mangual!! Like always, I look forward to many more great movie and show reactions for Lucifer from you!! :) Sincerely, Heidi

Matthew Vaughn is a genius with his action scenes. There’s a scene in the movie Kick-Ass that I can’t get out of my head. And when he didn’t return to direct the sequel it was super noticeable how much the quality dropped because of it. But hey if he stuck around we might not have gotten X-Men First Class or Kingsman
