Finally some originality at the theaters

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2010)

I went to see this movie honestly to waste a little time and was in a big surprise.
This movie probably receives more credit due to the drought of original thought from which movies currently suffer terribly but I loved this movie. Let me be clear here though. Action movies are not my favorite genre. My favorite movies are 21 Grams, A Clockwork Orange, and the Shawshank Redemption to name a few. I wish I could put 9.5 because I wouldn't like this movie to be thought of as equal to Magnolia or the Godfather 2 but I can't put a 9.
Back to this movie. It was awesome. It contained what Avatar lacked the absolute most and that is character development and growth.
In a time where making any action movie must compete with the Matrix or Spider-man 2, the action scenes were superb. I was actually worried about the characters and had genuine fear for their well-being probably because all the characters had some lovable quality.
I read in another review that this movie should have been called "Hit-Girl" but that's terribly inaccurate because aside from the fact that the movie is from Kick Ass's perspective, he is the character that actually has a true metamorphosis in the movie. There is a scene where he finally realizes what he is and what he must do while looking in a mirror and it is EXCELLENT. I don't know what it was, the music, his intensity, or whatever else but this scene was the absolute best in the entire movie.
This movie has comedy (and not that quirky joke every 10 minutes bullshit we see in EVERY OTHER movie), action, and is actually inspiring.
Thank you very much to the makers. I went to see it twice and may see it again because it's a pleasure giving them my money.
