Unique mixture of comedy, action, and exaggerated visual effects!

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2014)

It is such a great movie and parodies successfully all these serious superhero movies in itself. The mixture between comedy, action and exaggerated visual effects make this movie so unique. Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is as teenager who becomes a superhero named kick-ass. He is the main protagonist of the story of kick-ass. Dave Lizewski is an insecure and mild mannered teenager. He is a nobody at school and is not the class geek or class clown, he only exists and is not perceived. But Dave is a passionate comic book reader, which serves as a driving force of his decision to become a costumed vigilante. But Dave also has a 'romantic' side. He is attracted to a classmate named Katie. All in all, Dave is a courageous and brave person. He is embodied very well by Aaron Johnson, who parodies all superheroes in a brilliant way. But all the other characters are also well played and in an extraordinary way, for example ' Big Daddy' (Nicolas Cage). Big Daddy is a parody of Batman and it is clearly recognizable that Big Daddy should be like Batman. The actor Nicolas Cage varies his voice like Batman. But these parodies and this movie are not ridiculous but rather well acted and funny. The director surpasses himself with the choice of the actors. The way the movie describes the story is peerless. In almost every scene, you can recognize something from these typical superhero movies. Regardless whether there is a setting and a camera perspective from Spiderman, quotes from X-Man and so on. I'm a big fan of superhero movies and this movie makes me feel very concerned. It isn't that typical movie about a superhero; it is also a movie about the wish to become one. With all of these elements from other movies it becomes much more realistic, if you ignore the action scenes. In addition to that you can name the VFX too. They aren't the best, but they are really hilarious in a way. Sometimes they are so excessive that you may think the movie wants to parody itself with them too. The Soundtrack is also pretty good. It has got the one typical recognizable superhero movie main theme. Finally you can say that Kickass is a very funny, action-packed and easy understandable movie. I recommend it to everyone, who wants to have a good movie night with friends or is a fan of humorous and superhero movies.
