A Very Funny take on Superhero Movies,

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2013)

Kick-Ass is a brilliant movie with a very well developed storyline and a fantastic cast. It's a very funny movie from start to finish, a great take on superhero movies, it isn't necessarily a parody, but more like a loving tribute, Matthew Vaughn's unique directing style is evident throughout and I don't think anyone could have done a better job than him, his technique suits the tone and wit of these comics, and he brings this world to life perfectly. The cast is superb and they all do a great job of portraying these characters, but I felt like some characters could have been developed more, obviously Kick-Ass is the most important character, but I felt like the movie didn't necessarily need to focus on him as much as it did, I would have loved to have seen more origins for Big Daddy, who was brilliantly portrayed by the very hit and miss Nicolas Cage, and more scenes for Frank D'Amico, the main villain superbly played by Mark Strong, would have been great. Even with all the comedy and action that is evident throughout, the film manages to never forget heart, we genuinely care for these characters and the journey they are on, movies like this normally forget to do that, we feel care for them and there are even some emotional moments that surprised me with how much sympathy I truly felt. Action packed, funny and topped off with a superb cast, I would recommend Kick-Ass to anyone looking for a good comedy or action.
A boy with no skills or powers decides to become a superhero, making him a very wanted man by some dangerous men.
