Best Comic Book Adaptation Ever

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2010)

This comic book made into a movie is not only the best adaptation I have ever seen but is a fantastic movie in its own right. If you think about movie characters in general as being somewhat one-dimensional by necessity, it stands to reason that comic book characters do not suffer by being brought to life. Indeed, a comic book is already more or less a screenplay waiting to be made into a movie. So what does Kick-Ass have to offer? Great major and minor characters, excellent dialog, a sense of humor and a lot of guns. Somewhere along the way you will be drawn into the story line which, even if somewhat predictable, nonetheless will have you on the edge of your seat. Has it ever been done before? Sure, but what movie hasn't? There is nothing new under the sun. I left the theater feeling like a teen-ager, despite being several decades older, and that anything is possible.
