A movie that truly Kicks-Ass

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2010)

Just back from Kick-Ass and all i can say is WOW what a blast, this has to be one of the best superhero movies ever made, dare i say it "its up there with The Dark Knight". The basic premise is simple, what we have is a geek that dreams of being a superhero, then one day he finally builds up the courage to go out there and fight crime, however he is very rusty around the edge's because he has no real training and therefor gets his Ass-Kicked from time to time, but the kid has heart.. He then comes across too other superhero's (Big Dady & Hit Girl) but they are the real deal, and they have been trained well especially Hit Girl. So what follows are these crime busting hero's who are out to get the bad guys and when the action hits, it hits hard. Not only does it work as a great action film it also works as a great comedy, and one of the cool things about the movie is that we really do care about the characters and what they go through. The overall look of the film is very slick, the violence in some parts are brutal but fun, and some of the set pieces towards the end are just OTT, but it all merges perfectly in the confinements of this beautiful comic book world.. This comes highly recommended, hope they bring out a sequel...
