Movie Review: 'Kick-Ass' (movieauditors.blogspot.com)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. But like many things I enjoy on this planet (beer, women, etc.), I felt as though it too was being abused.
When I went to the movies to see this film, I noticed an adolescent surplus (a sh*tload of little kids present) and that had me concerned (a manly, man "concerned", you know. Like, "Yo! Are you alright, b*tch?! Just checkin'!"). This film may appear kid-friendly, but it's anything but. It's like a decapitated head dipped in chocolate, covered in sprinkles. With that said, parents, please closely examine and peruse this film as well as countless others, before your kids view them.
Sidenote: I hate little kids (I hope your swings break in mid-flight), not all, just a good amount. In fact, the only reason why I work summer camps is so that (1) I can make money with relative ease and (2) I can offer up some retribution in the form of a dodgeball. ("Take that Jason Voorhees! Now, limp it off.").
There's only one thing I hate more than bad little kids and that's irresponsible parents.
Alright, now back to the movie. It was absolutely absurd, yet brilliant. Everything is done in such good taste—the dialogue, action sequences, and story, as it effectively applies the "unpredictably" element or element of surprise to all facets.
I'm as perceptive as they come, but as soon as I saw Nicholas Cage discharge a firearm on his daughter, I knew then, to simply put my brain away, back in the cupboard, and just sit back and be thrilled by this outlandish spectacle that is 'Kickass'.
My only gripe, if I had one would be the questionable use of some of the younger cast members.
If you find my sense of humor amusing and/or enjoyed 'The Punisher: War Zone', then you'll enjoy this film.
Grade: A
Recommendations:
1. Buy It.
2. Check out Kick-Ass's Mark Strong and his performance as the antagonist in Sherlock Holmes (dude's bad*ss).
