A Stylish, Daring, and Gory Action Comedy!

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2010)

What Can I say about Kick-Ass. Well, for starters, it definitely lives up to it's name. It is also a very funny High School film that takes place in the world of superheroes (well, in their won world). The film has a clever and outrageous screenplay. It is daring and original in it's approach, and these days that is hard to come by. It reminds me of Sin City in it's totally unrated but fun tone, although in a lighter way. This film crosses so many different films, like Superbad, Kill Bill, Adventureland and combines them to this very entertaining and energetic film. I am not sure that every scene works, but that's because the film has incredibly contrasting tones at times. It is an action film, a comedy, a high school romance, and a crime film, and it succeeds in all of those genres. This film is definitely outlandish and will offend many people because of it's hard rating and the violence portrayed by kids and to kids. But this is a film that has ambition, and joins the ranks of the best comic book films in the last 10 years together with The Dark Knight, Watchmen, and Sin City, because like all of them, it is not merely satisfied with being your average Spider-Man film. Oh, and the soundtrack is KILLER!
