Surprisingly good 'superhero'-movie, if you liked Snatch, you'll love Kick-Ass!

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2009)

I was one of the lucky ones who was invited to the test-screening in Amsterdam.
Like most people I spoke after the movie, I was expecting an slightly amusing low quality comedy (that is probably what the title suggests). But I was blown away in the first 30 seconds of the film! Great camera-work, loved the soundtracks, acting was great considering the age and background of most actors! In my opinion it was one of the best performances of Nicolas in years, especially thanks to the chemistry between him and the little girl. The storyline was awesome! I really felt for the boy, and one moment you're laughing your ass of, the other moment you're blown away with amazing action shots with great violent humor! Which brings me to my statement: If you liked Snatch, you'll LOVE this movie!
The beginning was quite long, as mentioned in the comments before mine. But I couldn't think of one scene the movie could do without! Only the love between the boy and the girl was a bit strange. I don't know how to explain this without giving any spoilers, but in the beginning the girl seemed important. He was doing like everything to get her, but when he got her she was pushed to the background of the story very suddenly. Also the scene where he gets her felt a little cheap and unfinished. But this perhaps because the version I saw wasn't finished.
I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone I know! 8/10
