Extremely enjoyable, but over-the-top

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2010)

Kick-Ass is one of those movies that really stands out. It's a superhero movie, mixed in with an over-the-top movie, mixed in with a bunch of clichés. Its plot made me interested in the whole thing, for the most part. It was over-the-top like I said, but the action was still really good. I could have done without the maiming and blood gushes but it was still good nonetheless. Another thing I disliked was the fact that everybody in the movie had some family issues. EVERYBODY had one or more family member die. It was ridiculous. It tried to make us care about their relationships when really it was overwhelming. The humor was meh and unimpressive. I chuckled a couple times but that was it. Also, too much comic relief. It may sound like I'm nitpicking or I hated this movie, but I didn't These are just minor complaints. The plot was very interesting and moved along at a good pace, the action was pretty well done, the characters were fun, and it was just a fun experience. 8/10
