My husband and I went to see this movie with our 12 yo. After watching the trailer, we thought it would be another "Percy Jackson like" teenage movie but NOT AT ALL. It was so violent from beginning to end, LOTS of coarse language. Not sure who does the age rating but whoever does it they don't have a 14yo child. Cutting a person in half is way too graphic. For adults it is fine, but not for kids or young teens.
Started off ok and had a lot of potential but was disappointing...too much violence, plot was weak and despite a great cast it failed to deliver. Surprised Colin Firth and Michael Caine would be associated with this movie. Definitely should be rated R especially with the ending which was offensive and inappropriate... Don't waste your time
It would be helful if the people giving their reviews can indicate their age range. I can't see how anyone, except of course teenagers, can give this movie anything higher than a 2 out of 5 rating. I am over 50 and found the violence and swearing way too excessive. I found both Samuel Jackson and the young actor, "Eggsy", both out of charcater and unconvincing. The movie had potential but lost its way and started to look more like a saturday morning cartoon. The bare botom "princess" ,close to the end, didn't have that "Bond" class or style. My score 2 out of five.
Save $$, stay away from this awful movie!
Silly and boring!
Excellent movie. Humorous and artistic. I don't know what the other reviewer mean't by there being a "offensive joke." I saw no such thing.
Well done! Really enjoyed it!
Excellent movie. A spy story with a difference.
Great movie. Very entertaining.
Fun movie until the end. Very off colour joke was offensive and ruined the entire movie. Would not recommend to any age unless the joke is removed.
