A Superhero flick with interesting twist

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2011)

A nerdy boy becomes a super hero who first get his ass kicked and then kicks some bad boys ass. Which in itself isn't so new but this movie has a few twist to make it interesting.
Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is a nothing guy who has a hard time getting any attention in school. One day he decides to buy a super hero costume off the internet and dubs himself Kick Ass. His first attempts at being a hero are absolutely inept but he gets the local media attention and Kick Ass becomes a well known man about town. He stumbles upon a father Big Daddy(Nicolas Cage) daughter Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) super hero team who are after the towns bad man(Mark Strong).
This movie is extremely violent the way Robocop was, but here most of the violence is done by 11 year old Hit Girl. The movie does get clichéd in parts and the beginning is a little slow but once this movie gets going it's a real ride. B+
