Hit Girl Kicks Ass

Rating: 7/10 (17 April 2010)

Kick-Ass should really be called Hit Girl because she pretty much saves the movie and kind of inspires people around her to be stronger and badass, she steals every scene. At first I thought that this movie was a little uneven when it came to balancing laughs and hardcore violence and some of the jokes worked for me and some didn't even put a smirk on my face and it was pretty childish and over the top for the most part but everyones inner nerds fantasies are fulfilled and then some. In the beginning also I really didn't buy or take anything seriously in this film and thought to myself when are you guys going to back up the title instead of being dorky and strange, then Hit Girl comes and saves the day. When the ass kicking starts it comes in full and glorious fury with a action packed finale that was worth the wait and price of admission and that's when it earns it's name and my approval of being Kick-Ass! Overall it's very refreshing to see young kids and teenagers without superhuman powers kicking some major ass and becoming the mysterious superheroes it's almost controversial seeing them shed some blood and that's why I love it even more because it's kind of ballsy but it's pretty much a love it or hate it type of film. I say shut up, get off your ass and see Kick-Ass which will probably be the most fun time at the movies you'll have this year. More of a 3.5 out of 5 stars. BRING ON THE SEQUEL!!!!
