Kick Ass Review

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2010)

I loved this movie. I thought the beginning really through you for a loop, when he was attacked and then put in the hospital. I was totally caught off guard with that, but it made the movie so much better! I also loved how realistic but not realistic it was. Kick Ass himself wasn't really a good fighter but what made him special was the fact that a majority of his bones were metal and he lost his ability to feel pain. It was just a really cool idea.
I didn't really like that in the commercials you get the sense that Red Mist is a good guy, but it really isn't that big of an issue. The other thing was how Nicholas Cage's outfit looked just like batman; why couldn't he come up with something more original? Oh and last but not least the jet pack, I mean really? I thought that was pretty stupid, and didn't really go along with the rest of the story.
I think within the genera of super hero movies it is really different and unique from movies like Spider man or Batman (even though the Dark Night was amazing)-it was more original and not so marketed to the masses.
