As a sly and self-aware homage to beloved spy films past and present, and as a slick and stylish action thriller with a definite subversive streak, “Kingsman: The Secret Service” is easily the most fun to be had at the box office so far this year.
Visually ambitious but thematically heavy-handed, “Interstellar” aims for a soaring, suspenseful film experience, but ends up collapsing under its own weight.
Make no mistake: this really is the end for the Batman saga as told by Christopher Nolan and portrayed by Christian Bale. But what an extraordinary, spectacular end it is.
