This movie was so awesome! As a film handler I see a bunch of crap go in and out of the theater I work at week in and week out.
This movie just put all my faith back into the movie industry, there's only one movie about every 4 or 5 years like this. Movies like this raise the bar for movie making higher then you thought it could go.
The story followed the comic pretty well, there were a few things that weren't touched on but come on, what are you going to tell me every movie that is loosely based on anything, not just comics, suck because the director didn't want to add a few things?
The transitions from one scene to another were so crazy smooth that during a few of them i literally said out loud, "Wow that was f-ing awesome!". The most notable one was the scene that went from the teddy cam on the TV to the next scene showing Big Daddy mess up all those mobsters!
The action was always done in such a way that reflected the hero that was fighting, I thought that was a very important but subtly done. As with Hit Girl every time she fought she killed people with such psychopathic glee that it just made you feel a little crazy for enjoying it, but you couldn't help but laugh and then open your mouth. Kick Ass and Big Daddy also had their own add style to fighting, Kick Ass got well he got his ass kicked a lot. And Big Daddy did a LOT of ass kicking.
Which leads to my next thing. Nicholas Cage had a very interesting character, if you saw him on the street with his little daughter you would never expect to see him stabbing people and tossing frags. But when he was Big Daddy he was the biggest bad ass in the world.
Aaron Johnson also played a very good role. I was actually surprised hearing him in the movie, I had seen a few interviews with him prior to the movies release and he has a very British accent! But more important then his accent was his portrayal of Dave Lizewshi turn from a nobody in high school to Kick Ass, the superhero, and then even later in the movie the realization that they were no longer two people but rather he had taken the best traits from both Dave and Kick Ass and became a person he was happy with.
And it wasn't just the acting that was awesome, the writing was superb! All the writing in the movie didn't hold anything back, it's about time that mainstream Hollywood caught up with some of these indie writers and realized that no body going into an R-rated movie really cares if there are more than two f-bombs in the entire movie. Of course I'm no fourth grader, sometimes little Chloe Moretz seems a little too comfortable with her inner potty mouth, but hey if she has no problem killing more people in five minutes then over half of the worlds citizens do in their entire life then dropping the c-word out.
I found all the little things in this movie amazing, some more irrelevant then others, The Spirit 3?!
So in short there is way too much good for me to think of much bad about the movie. I suppose I would have made a better soundtrack for the movie but hey I guess that's just the inner music buff in me coming out.
Also even though I was the target audience, I can see the above 35 crowd being really turned off by a lot of things in the movie. Then again it doesn't seem like the movie really needs or wants your approval.
This movie gives a big middle finger to everyone, including Hollywood and all their pussy comic book movies, and they didn't even need superpowers to do it!
I can't stress this next statement enough: GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!
