If You Haven't Watched This Movie: Do I!

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2010)

This is a really good film. It was the some of the most fun I've had at the movies in a very long time. The teen angst meets de-powered super-heroes with R-rated comedy added to the mix fit well and worked with Mark Millar's over-the-top vision of the comic book. This film is also very funny and if you just want to laugh a lot, then give this film a try. I really want to see a sequel to this film, so if you haven't watched it--please give it a try, I promise you it will be worthwhile. Overall the acting was spectacular, the script was tight and funny, gory, teen-angsty all at the same time. Chloe Moretz as hit-girl and Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass were the standouts of the film, although Nick Cage delivered a very humble and emotionally ranged performance. I couldn't recommend this enough. A perfect meal of a movie: plot, characters, themes and execution with twists and turns at every corner. The last scenes of the movie are killer and in the end Matthew Vaughan is a director to watch out for.
