A fantastic unique film

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2014)

Kick Ass is a completely unique superhero film that we haven't seen before and it is completely awesome. This film sees average College student Dave decide he wants to try to be a superhero and protect people until he encounters real superheroes Big Daddy and Hit Girl who are attempting to take down mob boss Frank D'Amico. Now I am not a huge fan of Aaron Taylor Johnson but this is the one exception as I truly believe he is a great Kick Ass and provides a good realistic humour that makes his character really funny. The supporting cast also all do fantastic jobs with Nicholas Cage doing a brilliant job in particular, his character of Big Daddy is great and he is the coolest character in the film and really helps play alongside Kick Ass. His daughter Hit Girl is played by Chloe Grace Moretz and this was really her break out roll with her being an awesome character and her dialogue is awesome especially for the age of the character. When casting a great villain the best is probably Mark Strong and he proves it in this film with an awesome performance as a fantastic villain. His Son Chris D'Amico is played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse and he does a good job especially contrasting with Mark Strong. The story is the weak point of this film with it being pretty straight forward but it is executed decently I just think there could have been more done to make it more unique. The script is utterly superb with the dialogue and chemistry from each character being utterly hilarious and great. The style of the film is really unique and really provide a different fantastic look on superhero genre, yes it is stylised but it is still great. This is a fantastic film that really makes this film so rewatchable and one of my favourite superhero films.
