A great movie that has it all

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2010)

When I went to see this movie I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It seemed like it could have been either fun or just a corny satire of some sort. Well....this movie had it all...for me anyway. I was sucked in right from the beginning. I like the idea of regular people wanting to do good and try to be heroic.
I was interested in the characters right away and wanted to see what would happen. Even after getting stabbed and run over by a car, Kick-ass just can't stop wanting to help. When he meets the resident masked heroes, he feels kind of inept. I love Nicholas Cage as Big Daddy. When he's in costume and speaks, he so reminds me of Adam West's delivery in the old Batman show. He's just quirky enough to do his part justice. My favorite of them all is Hit Girl. She's the most fascinating character. Her fight scenes are brilliant. Besides all this, there's some bad guys doing bad things that need to be stopped. There's also a personal vendetta against the big boss by Big Daddy and Hit Girl. I won't spoil anything, but the last fight is a work of beauty.
I'm a fan of comic books, but someone who isn't can enjoy this movie just as much. The story is good and makes enough sense..the action is exciting and the characters are interesting. I absolutely recommend this movie for viewing. Personally, I'd like to see a movie about Hit Girl. Maybe how she became the unstoppable, killing machine that she is. It would be a nice to see Big Daddy raising her. Anyway...go see this movie. It's well worth it.
