Kingsman: The secret service




Released 29th January 2015 (UK)
Directed by Matthew Vaughn
BBFC rating 15
After the success of Vaugh's take on the X men franchise, it was probably a safe bet to place him on another comic book movie. The bet has paid off well, with the flick doing incredibly well for itself, being a great stand alone film for the year,as well as one of the top of the spy films in 2015, Kingsman has the perfect blend of action and comedy to create a teen friendly film that doesn't just base all of its jokes on crude language. The acting is very well done, with great performances from Colin Firth and Taron Ederton, pulling together to create a well balanced story and action adventure at the same time. The only issue that I have with it is the pace of the story, it feels like it drags out the training for most of the film, then rushes into him being great at the job, which works well for the story, but can confuse some audiences near the end. There are also some scenes that don't fit with the action of the overall film, however it is a great action movie nonetheless and would highly recommend it.
Contains strong language and violence as well as scenes of injury
My rating 8.1/10

Top Gun: Maverick

Image
 Released: May 27th 2022 Directed By: Joseph Kosinski Cast: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Charles Parnell Legacy movies seem to be all the rage these days (Past massive cinematic universes that is). Some of pulled it off really well, with films like Blade Runner 2049 almost being better than the original, some not so well like independence day resurgence, some being a bit of fun to pass off as alright with Jurassic World, and some being The Force Awakens. How these movies do well is another story, now though the latest movie to try its hand at a legacy reboot is Top Gun. No matter what you think of the original it is fair to say that the cultural impact and quotability is much greater than any plot point in the originals story, with not much to go on past some manliness and jet fighters. Top Gun 2 however is a completely different story. From the get go you know the stakes are higher and actually manages to make the "fish out of water" old guard trope...

Deadpool 2

Released 16th May 2018 BBFC rating 15 Directed by David Leitch Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz After the overwhelming success of the first Deadpool film, the second instalment was inevitable, with the same formula that made the first one great. The film revolves around Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool ( Reynolds ) attempting to save Firefist ( Dennison ) from time travelling assassin Cable ( Brolin ). While using similar ideas and call-backs to the first film, this one feels completely different, and in some senses more like Deadpool than before, filled with more references and nit pics to Dc than before, and arguably better action. The film also remembers to not take itself too seriously like the other one did, with more events in the film which try and mess with the timeline as much as possible without caring about the outcome. Overall the film does well to be entertaining, maybe more so than the last one, keeping good action flowing thr...
