Dark and gritty with a surprising amount of charm and comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2020)

Kick-Ass was way ahead of its time. The movie accomplished what was similar to Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool before it came out. The cinematography by Matthew Vaughn sold the action really well. Topped with a great cast the whole movie was just fun to watch. The charm of this movie is what really made it special with the performances of ATJ, CGM and CMP (McLovin). Not to mention Nicolas Cage's performance as a shotgun blasting Batman from hell. Any movie that can make Nicolas Cage shooting a little girl in the chest seem just as innocent as if he took her on her first rollercoaster gets a pass from me. I absolutely love this movie and is easily my favorite 'superhero' movie as I am not a huge fan of the MCU.
