First 4DX. It has moving seats like a simulator, smoke effects, water spray, bubble machines, smells, and wind. It was good in places. When the guns were being shot you got puffs of air behind your head and when helicopters or planes flew over you got wind effects. When SLJ vomits at the end you get sprayed with water. The moving seats was good in places but got a bit annoying during the fights. You got the effect of being kicked in the back and first couple of times I thought it was the person behind me kicking my chair. During the trailer for Jurrasic World they had the effects on for that and I think that would be a really good film to watch in 4DX.
Sounds dreadful irked

Is the film suitable for 13 year old? My daughter is only 13 and we were planning to go and see it at the weekend, but its a 15 frown

Do cinema's ever enforce the age rules?

It depends how you feel about swearing and sexual references. There's a lot of the former and a mention of something specific that might provoke an awkward conversation... smile

I hate to break it to you but my daughters were starting to play the game of passing as 15 at that age, though not overtly in front of their oh so innocent father till later on. (now I get such QOTD as "the bouncers dont look at the ID, they're too busy ogling my bouncers")

Lukeyman is correct that there is a lot of swearing, sexual references, and gory moments. The 15 cert is about right IMHO. That said, it's probably no worse than Torchwood. As for your daughter seeing it at 13, it depends whether you and she want you to know that she gets the "adult" jokes - it's the teenage equivalent of the truth about Santa.

We will probably give it a miss then. I'm still kidding myself thats she's my little girl.

She can grow up when I'm dead smile

Saw it last night. Loved it. Not sure I'd want to have to explain the meaning of the Swedish princess' offer to Eggsy to my 13 year old daughter though....

Saw it last weekend and found it refreshingly original and very funny.
Bond meets Austin Powers meets Harry Potter meets Thunderbirds meets Mission Impossible.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I enjoyed it hugely and so did the rest of the audience. Mrs D fell asleep thou.

Something that seems to regularly go unnoticed is that the screen writer is that rather saucy Mrs Johnathan Ross;

Just been added to NowTV movie section, so wanted to read the reviews on it, because tbh it looks bloody awful from the trailers.

You guys seem to really like it, so will give it a go.

Watched it last night. Hugely entertaining if taken for what it is rather thank thinking its Tinker Tailor - even if Colin Firth appears in both.

I watched it recently and really enjoyed it, just remove your brain and enjoy the action. Some really good funny bits and a good cast, would like to see a follow up or even a TV series spin off.

Watched this on Netflix one evening whilst on holiday. I didn't know there was quite so much swearing or violence in it, and our 13 & 14 y.o girls were present. Oh, well... no point in wrapping them in cotton wool, eh?
I thought it was funny.

A sequel is already planned, the original having done well in the box office.

Watched this tonight on Sky Movies. Absolutely loved it! Summaries on this page are spot on. Probably the best fight scenes I've scene in any movie, they seemed to have a rhythm to them.

The church fight is a fantastic piece. Re-watch it on youtube and you'll see that its a single "take" following the action from blow to blow. The music really works well too.
