Bloody and Funny

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2011)

Kick-Ass is bloody, funny, original, and everything you could want in an action-comedy. Aaron Johnson plays Dave, a high school loser who decides to become a superhero, aka Kick-Ass. Aaron Johnson had a terrific performance and really nailed the character. He was nerdy and just a loser in general, and was so funny when he was using his little batons. The other standout performance was by Chloe Moretz, who plays the foul- mouthed Hit-Girl. Her father, aka Big-Daddy played by Nicholas Cage, has been training her to shoot guns, use crazy knife weapons, and just kill people. Chloe Moretz is definitely a young actress to keep an eye on; I read that she went to circus school to train for her role. Overall, this movie is fresh with some awesome action scenes that will make you wanting more. If there is a part 2, you can bet that I will be first in line to see it.
