It's Kick-Ass!

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2013)

Fans will always be loyal to their source material and criticisms can be boundless. Kick-Ass sets a tone that holds true to the novel, with some added flair for the movie going audience.
If gore is unsettling, you may want to look away.. but keep watching. Fans will enjoy performances from some rising stars and crowd favourites like Nicholas Cage & Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Director Matthew Vaughn proves himself in the comic adaptation and continues to do so at the helms of X-men: First Class and the newest Mark Millar title, The Secret Service.
Start to finish this movie turns the 'super-hero genre' expectations on it's head. It's a simple concept, "Why aren't there real super heroes?" With heroes, come the bad guys.. and with no shortage in the upcoming sequel, Kick-Ass 2, they deliver. This movie goes out with a bang.
