Absolute garbage

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2013)

My friend lent me this movie a while back. Having heard so much about Kick-Ass, I was expecting hilarious moments and amazing action sequences. Boy was I wrong! The action scenes were completely ridiculous- the main action sequence involves Hit Girl dodging bullets and running up walls as well as reloading guns in mid-air; THE MATRIX, anyone? I wasn't even cheering for her. In fact, to me she was a complete b****. The movie might as well have been called "Hit Girl" instead of "Kick Ass".
I for one can't stand the movies of Tarantino (I didn't care for Inglorious Bastards at all). But in all honesty I would rather watch that again, and DOOM as well, than see Kick Ass. The over-the-top use of profanity, especially the C word, was completely unnecessary. The graphic violence was too much at times- it seems like this guy was doing nothing except trying to be another Quentin Tarantino.
I am so glad I didn't actually see this movie in the cinema, let alone rent it from the video store. Avoid like the plague my friends.
