Very, very clever!

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2010)

Well...where do I start with Kick Ass? From start to finish I had the biggest smile on my face! Not roll on the floor, side splitting funny. Just lots of very clever bits and lines that kept me smiling from ear to ear throughout. From the Kleenex line to Nicolas Cages awesome Adam West take off (for those of your that are old enough to remember him!) My jaws hurt every time he spoke! I'm not a huge fan of "McLovin" (he will always be that to me!) but he was cast perfectly for this role.
The guy who played Kick ass, was simply brilliant. He almost had me fooled as an American - great accent and tone used throughout the film, very convincing considering he's very, very English! (Far, far better than Hugh Laurie in House) And now to the star of the Show...Hit Girl! This film will do so much for this young actresses career, and I can't wait to see her in other roles.
All in all I give this awesome film 9/10. Casting, filming, storyline, Acting/ OST 10/10! THE MARKETING FOR THIS FILM 3/10 - That's why I had to knock it down to 9/10 The marketing for this film was truly sh!te, knowbody knows about it! If they need a marketing manager for Kick Ass 2, I would give my left nut to be involved, FOC of course! Well done to everybody involved in this film. Can't wait for the sequel.
