A different kind of Superhero

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2011)

Being a life long comic fan its quite refreshing to see a Superhero movie that brings something new into the genre. Kick-Ass is dark, sad, action packed and above all, hilarious....A superhero movie thats actually funny..it's unheard of! Dave is the school nerd who dreams of being a superhero...and then one day he decides..'why not?' What happens next changes everything, as Dave becomes Kick-Ass and takes his justice to the streets...it's not all glamorous..he realises being a crime-fighter is dangerous stuff, but it seems that Kick-Ass has inspired some, who are teetering on the brink of sanity,'Hit-Girl and Big Daddy', a Father and Daughter whose lives revolve around catching criminals.
It's a very funny film, no doubt. Nicholas Cage and Chloe Moretz set every scene on fire, they just play off each other so well and deliver some brilliant dialogue. The fight scenes are brilliant to watch, Kick-Ass especially as he bring down thugs. Brilliant.
