Loved it

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2010)

I won't go as far to say this is the best movie of all time. But, after seeing the garbage that was Clash of the Titans before this in theaters, it feels like it could be considered the best. But, that's a different movie, so, different review. I did enjoy this movie thoroughly. Of course it had its downsides, but what movie doesn't? I see so many complaints about Chloe as Hit-Girl, and all I can do is praise her. Children tend to ruin movies for me, but, this was not that case. This movie was brilliant because of her. The amount of seriousness mixed with childishness was hilarious and entertaining as hell.
Nicholas Cage, I will honestly say, every movie I have ever seen him in, I have no enjoyed. Movies such as, Ghost Rider, National Treasure, The Wicker Man, all these movies made me want to cry. But, in Kick Ass, I couldn't help but love him. He felt so cheesy and dumb, but, that's the kind of movie this is. He was a stereotype that people have seem to have forgotten, and he played it beautifully and he had me laughing whenever he was on screen. And not to mention, his action scene was pretty bad ass.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse, I'm not a huge fan of. Superbad was a rather awful movie, and he didn't make me go crazy in this film. Something about this guy just makes me hate, it's probably his voice, and the goofy look that is ever present on his face. He could have easily been left out of this movie for all I cared.
Aaron Johnson I think I will look forward to in the future. I liked the way he did the roll in this, his voice got a bit old and he seemed to be trying far to hard to have a geeky attitude, when we knew it was there. Overall, I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. It was funny, the action was good, and the story wasn't God awful. It didn't take itself too seriously, but when it did, it did it well.
