Nothing can prepare for what you are about to watch.......KICK-ASS ...yeah

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2011)

It was a virtual certainty, just like Joker said that Gotham will never be the same again, because Batman had changed everything forever by showing Gotham the true colours of the criminals, by the same token, Chris Nolan with his Dark Knight has changed forever how we view super heroes, by showing us the true colours of other super heroes and how hilarious they have been so far, not to say sorry excuses at being called movies.
And the result is Kick-Ass. Raw, dark, terrifyingly enjoyable and above all action packed with lots of blood and gory. In fact, the rawness of the movie may even be found offending and objectionable to the old school movie goers.
This movie is not a superhero movie that you watch with your children. It will not make you laugh (although there are some funny scenes), because it is not meant to make you laugh. It is not meant to be a Superman or Spiderman type of super hero movie too. It is something else, something of its own kind, unique even. Maybe, it has created its own genre... so that, when a movie like this is made again, we can say that its 'Kick-Ass' type.
My advise, and this is from someone who has watched many movies of all genres over the years, if you like superhero movies, please don't watch Kick-Ass, because after watching it you can never go back and watch those movies again. You will find them funny at least, and irritating at worst. But if you are willing to cross your frontiers and watch something which will leave you short of words when you're done, gasping for breath, sweating, adrenaline pumping...then my advise: watch it...and tell the others who are as crazy as us....
