Starring: Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Nicolas CageThis is not your average Superhero flick, Kick-Ass is something abit more silly, abit more funny, and perhaps abit more closer to reality. Kick-Ass explores the life of a geeky teenager, Dave, and his voyage to become a real-life Superhero in New York despite having no Superpowers or real training.
This film is definately an interesting take on the whole Superhero concept and really looks into the validity of Superheroes and the real world. But be warned! Though the film is rated MA15+, I would not watch this film with any of my teenage siblings, the cencorship board must have been puffin' muffin's when they chose a modest MA15+ rating. The film stays true to it's adult nature as per the Kick-Ass comic book by injecting a seriously large amount of graphic violence and profanity, that being said it really blends in perfectly in this film which attempts to explore the reality in the life of a Superhero. Kick-Ass is not the only guy cruising the streets in tights in this film and each Superhero-wannabe has their own story to tell.
I really enjoyed this film and felt that the plot was strong, the characters were interesting (especially Hit-Girl, wait till you see this Superhero in action!), and the film kept me gripped until the very last minute. Not a family movie, especially if you have kids under 18, but definately a must see film of 2010.
8/10 for me
I wasn't much interested in this movie but now I think I shall have to see it. Besides, I can't go past a kick-ass femal superhero. That's what I want to be when I grow up!
