Bad Ass

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2010)

I got to say I was pleasantly shocked when I saw this movie. So, far it stands in my opinion, to be one of the best Comic book movies out there (next to Iron Man).
Most comic book based movies always try to over commercialize. Trying to get the most money by appealing to all ages, as a result having to be rated G. That's what makes Kick Ass special. I really did appreciate how true to the Comic it was (sister a comic buff as reference). Things that did differ from the comics only enhanced the movie, and overall story, for the best. It was dirty, sexual, violent as all hell and you would be a horrible parent to take your 10 year old to this movie (yes, parents did to it and walked out 10 mins into it). As a result it was REAL.
Probably one of the best aspects of the movie was majority of the acting and fight scenes. I will just name my favorites. Chloe Moretz aka Hit Girl is fu*king brilliant in this movie. Her acting as a 10 year old is so convincing, as well as her sudden bad ass persona as Hit Girl. She gets tons of props from me for all the physical aspects of her role. Moretz as Hit Girl has been the best casting I've ever seen for a superhero. She is honestly the heroine I never got growing up. I am not a big Nick Cage fan but he played Big Daddy fabulously. His and Moretz's quirky relationship as father and daughter is both endearing yet powerful. Best father and daughter duo! Christopher Mintz-Plasse aka Red Mist was loads of laughs and it was nice to see him in a different role, yet with the same Mintz-Plasse flare. Clark Duke aka Marty (Kick Asses friend) is hilarious as always, great comic relief, I would to see more of him in the next film. Surprisingly, Aaron Johnson aka Kick Ass, hardly made any impact on me as an actor. Yet, he was passable as Kick Ass, fitting the pathetic sorry persona, but then I feel that anyone could of played this character. His relationship w/ the character Katie, was funny then got stupid. The rest of the cast did decent to well enough to carry the story.
Overall, I am very impressed at this movie. The director worked closely with the creator of the comic to create this movie, which lead to an astounding outcome. Sure, it didn't do that well in Box office for opening, but that's cause it pushed the envelope of most comic movies. This movie deserves to be watched and recognized cause it's pretty bad ass.
