As far as comedy spy films are concerned, Kingsman with its two films and a third one is one of the best. Based on the successful comic book series by Mark Millar, the films introduce a British spy organization known as the Kingsman when the organization decides to bring in new . The films manage to effectively parody the conventions of spy movies, all of that without feeling cheesy or stale.
Currently, the fans can look forward to seeing the third film which will be a prequel and uncover more of the organization's origins. Nevertheless, the audience has already learned a lot about the Kingsman, and there are multiple reasons why it's the best movie spy organization. That said, there also some better alternatives as well.
The Best: They Accept Only The Best
Kingsman doesn't need people who aren't fit for the job. After all, it's not an easy profession, one filled with dangers and a lot of responsibility. That's why Eggsy had to go through a rigorous application procedure and compete with other applicants in various disciplines. In the end, he proved his worth and became a member of the Kingsman, just like he aimed to from the beginning.
Better Alternative: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Any secret organization fighting bad guys can't be totally bad... unless every member is incompetent. That's not the case of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., who still sometimes make mistakes but are mostly good at their job. Even though it took them quite a long time to realize that their organization was infiltrated by Hydra. On the other hand, they were partially responsible for putting the Avengers together and they also have with special powers, which is something Kingsman lack.
The Best: They Don't Discriminate
Speaking of the selection and application process, Kingsman isn't an elitist organization. Yes, it has only a limited number of but that helps to keep the information in the house, so to speak, and to prevent any potential leaks which could endanger not only the organization but the entire world as well. What's sympathetic about them is that they don't discriminate. Their new are chosen based on their merits and skills, and it doesn't matter what gender they are or whether they come from a wealthy background or not, since Eggsy certainly didn't.
Better Alternative: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
This one is originally an oldie, but still a goodie. Armie Hammer.
U.N.C.L.E. stands for United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, and even though it isn't the most famous secret fictional organization, its are still efficient at fighting crime and stopping serious threats. When they're not too busy arguing with each other.
The Best: They Have Good Mentors
If one wants to become a Colin Firth as a mentor, especially considering his badass fighting skills in the movies, most of all the first one.
Better Alternative: U.N.I.T.
Every proper sci-fi fictional universe should have its own secret organization that fights both against alien and terrestrial threats. In the world of the successful British TV show Doctor Who, this organization is U.N.I.T. Unlike many secret organizations, U.N.I.T. is the good guys, even though the Doctor himself didn't always get along with them. However, he spent a brief period of time working with the organization and even had a good friend in it, so it couldn't have been all bad.
The Best: They Have Awesome Gadgets
Any spy organization worth its grain of salt should have useful gadgets to play with. Sorry, not play with, but use against their many enemies that would endanger the world.
Eggsy sees this for himself in the first movie when Harry shows him all the various equipment the organization has at its disposal. Some of it is extremely cool, even though it's difficult to deny it's still dangerous and should only be handled with caution. Still, the umbrella, for example, could certainly come in handy.
Better Alternative: James Bond's MI6
This article wouldn't be complete without the most famous spy in the world. His name is Bond, James Bond. And he likes his Martini shaken, not stirred. The MI6 is an actual organization, of course, but Ian Fleming's novels and the subsequent movie adaptations create its own version of it. Just like Kingsman, James Bond's MI6 has a lot of useful gizmos and tools at his disposal, but they're a vast organization with many , of which James Bond is only one.
The Best: They're Not Alone
As witnessed in the films, even the Kingsman need a hand sometimes. Especially when the organization more or less collapses and most of its die. Unfortunately for any villains who need their ass kicked, Kingsman isn't the only spy organization in this fictional universe. There is also the American organization Statesman that might use different principles but has similar goals as its British counterpart. So it's no wonder of both of the groups their forces together in the second movie.
Better Alternative: Johnny English's MI7
Forget James Bond - here comes the best spy in the world. His name is Johnny English, and even though he often messes things up, he always gets the job done in the end. That's the mark of a truly great spy. Johnny English is a part of the super-secret organization MI7. That's like MI6 but better because it has a higher number. Again, MI7 uses great tools that other people don't have access too and they send out their best agents at top-secret missions. And when the best agents aren't available, Johnny English takes on the job, and he's hilarious while he's solving the problem.
