Absolute garbage

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2010)

When I first saw the trailer for Kick-Ass I wrongly predicted that it was going to bomb both critically and at the box office. Boy, how wrong I was. First of all, I am not going to preach about the over the top violence in this movie and how it is destructive to our society. However, I am going to say that when I wasted by 10 bucks to see this movie I was thoroughly disgusted by my fellow movie goers for liking this movie. If you are looking for a Tarantino style in this movie, you are not going to get it. There is nothing witty in the plot or the dialogue in this entire movie. It all boils down to the almost sadistic desire to show for example an 11 year old cutting off a man's legs and then yelling "cool" while you shake your head in dismay as the audience goes wild. This movie doesn't have a shred of intellect present in it and it made me wonder if this movie was genuinely marketed for tween audience who sneak into R rated movies.
