Hipster Vigilantes

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2010)

When i first saw the trailer for the movie i was overwhelmed by how cool it was. I had so much expectation for it that when the release date got closer i couldn't wait.
But i should say i was a little bit disappointed with a end product. Not because it was a very irresponsible movie showing too much of gore in tongue-in-cheek manner. I know exactly what to expect. I thought the premise was perfectly alright and had so much of potential but can't believe where it has ended despite of all of it.
Kick-ass definitely has its moments but the problem is it has nothing more than that. It is a movie of parts. And if you have seen the trailer you have seen the most good parts of the movie.
Half way down it almost completely loses it way. The confusion whether it wants to be about the superhero wannabe kick-ass or that of the vendetta of big-daddy is clearly visible.
Of all the characters only Chloe Moretz's hit-girl is worth remembering. Neither Aaron Johnson nor Nicolas Cage bring their characters to life.
Despite of all that kick-ass is assured to give you wicked fun for all those of you who find comfortable with the violence. The climax is a high point. If Matthew Vaughn has done one thing perfectly in the movie that would be the climax. He did just the things to end the movie on a high. And there is a surprise weapon in the climax to increase the awesomeness factor(and of course, i am not gonna reveal that).
Summing up, it isn't half as good as how good it could have been, still pretty decent for a watch.
