Kick-Ass just kicks ass...

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2010)

Can I simply just say wow!.
Now this is what I call a real superhero comedy movie. The story is simple to its core. It's about a geek who fantasies on becoming a superhero.
The character, Dave, a fan of super-hero comic books one days wonders whether anyone would take a stance and fight against crime. And, thus comes Kick-Ass into the picture. The complexity of the character written for Dave is performed excellently by Aaron Johnson. Who doesn't dream of becoming a super-hero in reality. Dream of being special and do something incredible. The character Dave here is a superhero not because he has super powers, but because he brings the inspiration for turning into a superhero. He successfully shows his strength in fighting crime as a normal human.
The next best thing is the comedy and the timing. A complete blast. This movie will just blow you away. It's not good. It's not great. It's totally awesome. Character Dave dressed up as Kick-Ass and leaves home to fight crime only to find him looking for a lost cat. And the music is the next best part. In the where they play "For A Few Dollars More" I just had this feeling like wow. I mean, for that part the music seemed fitting as such the other musical pieces in different parts of the movie. Yes, they seemed to fit well with the movie.
Next, Nicholas Cage as the Big Daddy has his share of the movie. His appearance in this movie will be recognized well. This super-hero, he wants to wipe out the entire the criminal organization which took away his loving wife, shows the anger for his need to wipe out the crime as a human. Wouldn't you want to revenge on the person if he/she took the love of your life ? Nicholas Cage succeeds in showing both the human side as well as the superhero side struggling with the pain. The performance in this movie is class A.
Next thing, my personal favorite, the amazing awesome Chloe Moretz as the Hit Girl. She completely steals away the entire movie. Every scene she's in is a complete delight to watch. Especially the last 25 minutes of the movie where the action sequences are spell-binding.
I have seen lot of bad reviews. I don't care about them as it is impossible to satisfy the entire population of the world. I enjoyed this movie for what it was. A very bold attempt and it served it's purpose excellently well. Extremely funny and little sad filled with some mind blowing adrenaline filled action sequences.
In short, this movie just kicks ass...
