Enjoyable Surprise

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2010)

I had only seen one trailer before actually seeing Kick-Ass in its entirety. The unknown in this situation turned out to be the greatest asset in enjoying this film. The movie starts off a little slow, where I actually found myself getting a little bored during the base character development. Eventually I was able to relate to the characters and become attached to the story line. Somewhere after the first third of the film it begins to change its momentum. It began like an indie film and finished like another installment in the Spiderman series. I think the greatest appeal of this movie would be to not over advertise and numb a very good film. I was lucky enough to see this movie without any biases or judgments and the result was fantastic. I left the theater looking forward to a sequel with only a few questions on the ending of the movie, loose ends have always had a tendency to frustrate me. In order to enjoy this film I would recommend seeing it as soon as you can before any negative opinions can shadow an enjoyable movie.
