The Kingsman and Argylle films have been ranked, and the results are in! These action-packed spy movies have certainly made a mark on audiences, and it’s about time we discuss their achievements.
Starting off with Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), this film has received a perfect rating of 5/5. It’s no wonder why – the movie is a rollercoaster of excitement, humor, and pure entertainment. From breathtaking action sequences to witty dialogue, this film truly captures the essence of what a fun spy movie should be. In fact, it’s almost frustrating to see how the James Bond films haven’t quite lived up to the same standard of enjoyment that these Kingsman movies bring.
Moving on to a newer addition to the spy film genre, we have Argylle (2024), also scoring a perfect 5/5. This film is packed with surprises, thrilling twists and turns, and a delightful blend of action, comedy, drama, and romance. Henry Cavill, who has proven his ability to portray a charismatic spy in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), once again demonstrates why he would have been a fantastic James Bond. Argylle is a must-watch for any spy film enthusiast, and it is a testament to how other franchises can create incredible James Bond-like films, perhaps even better than the 007 series itself.
With a solid rating of 4/5, we have The King’s Man (2021). This film takes on a similar tone to the Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond movies, balancing humor with serious moments. It captures the essence of classic spy adventures and provides an enjoyable ride for fans of the genre. The only downside is the desire for more scenes featuring the intriguing character of Rasputin.
Lastly, we have Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), which receives a rating of 3.5/5. While it may not live up to the excellence of its predecessor, The Secret Service, it still proves to be a worthy follow-up. The main antagonist might be a bit underwhelming, but the film compensates for it with a lively performance by Elton John, who adds a touch of fun and flair.
The Kingsman and Argylle films have certainly solidified their place in the spy film genre. They have brought back the excitement and enjoyment that fans have been craving, and it’s about time the James Bond series took notes. With Mission Impossible, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and these Kingsman and Argylle movies setting the bar high, it’s time for Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson to step up their game for Bond 26. These films are a must-watch for any action movie enthusiast, and it’s definitely worth sharing the experience with friends. So grab some popcorn, buckle up, and prepare yourself for a thrilling spy adventure like no other.
