REMARKABLE IN "Kingsman: The Secret Service "


Oh god. That church scene was the best scene ever. Good job Colin. That was so cool. Must have put in a lot of really hard work to pull that off. So worth it. I can't get that scene out of my head.

I Can't wait to see the kingsmen

One of the best fight scenes I've ever seen! Really fantastic choreography.

I think you should compliment the director, cinematographer and choreographer for that action scene. Wich did not blow me away, really.

I rather appreciate Firth's acting in the film, not only his physical performance in a more-or-less run-off-the-mill "bang bang boom boom" scene.

I could do that. I could also thank all the doubles and extras.

Or, maybe just maybe, I could compliment Colin who unlike his other cast members who only trained for 3 months, had to train for 6 months to get his body to move like that for that one scene. He had to work harder than anyone due to his age and his limited ability to move like that. No one else in the film his age had a huge fighting scene. You could really tell he worked his butt off since that scene was perfect.

It takes a lot of hard work to do your own stunts and people aren't usually aware of how extremely hard it is. There are always broken bones, sprained ankles, and other injuries as well as months of training before the big shoot. It's much harder than performing just lines. He should be extremely proud of himself and credit should be given since he has earned it.

I'm sorry if I came off as somewhat agressive. But in my oppinion Firth's acting, as in delivering lines or more nuanced body language, deserves more praise than this particular scene.

While I do think his commitment is admireable, I personally was not impressed by the cinematography and use of music in the church scene.

I agree that it was an amazing fight scene. But they used a lot of CGI special effects and wires.

Check out the Raid 2 for actual fight choreography.

Totally agree! Also I never noticed how hot he is until that film.

There wasn't enough Colin in Kingsman. Too much of that stupid, unattractive kid.
