Movie lives up to its title.

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2010)

I had only seen the trailers leading into this movie. When I mentioned to my wife that I was going to go to a morning showing of this she surprised me by saying she wanted to go too. I told her it was violent, and she said that was okay.
We went and both really enjoyed the movie. It's funny and the plot is pleasantly twisty. The violence is there, and there's plenty of blood and beatings, but not as bad as the last violent movie I saw, Watchmen (also good). Hit Girl steals the show and the bad guys are entertaining and have some great lines.
On the other hand if you go to a movie actually titled KICK ASS and are offended by the violence - that's all on you, sorry.
