Good film just one large problem

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2012)

Undoubtedly Kick Ass exceeded my expectations for the film. I thought it was likely to be shallow and in most parts cheesy. However I was pleasantly surprised with a comic and relatively in depth plot. All was well in this film until the introduction of "Big Daddy" poorly casted as Nicholas Cage. Why oh why he keeps on taking on these ridiculous roles that do not suit his acting style beats me. For me he isn't a great actor and especially is NOT suited to this role! National Treasure is the only film bar maybe Face Off which Cage is decent. He defiantly is not in Kick Ass and as a whole does in my opinion let the film down.
Apart from this Hick-up however the film is on the whole very good with a good mix of with the main plot and other sub narratives. As well as getting a good mix between Action, Comedy and a bit of Romance on the side!
