Why did I wait so long?

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2012)

There are a lot of superhero movies and a lot of comic spin-offs, so when Kick-Ass was first advertised in the UK and everyone started raving about it... I was like "yeah so what?" - After some of the licenses flopped quite badly in the UK such as The Spirit (Which I actually enjoyed...) I was not really expecting that much.
What a MISTAKE!
Cage is wonderful as usual, and the film just rips through so many different emotions - Its hard to believe that this comic book adapt ion which stuck to its comic book predecessors' more or less to the letter in its total parody of the whole Super-Hero Genre.
There are some quite "Oh Yech!" scenes towards the beginning (Hey! I have grown up now... I am a family man! Masturbation jokes just ain't cool no more!) but these are a minor aside from what is frankly an amazing movie.
Its fun, action packed and completely insane!
Do I hear cries for a Kick-Ass 2? Very Likely but I doubt it would ever have the same impact.
