My all time favorite Film

Rating: 4/10 (9 April 2012)

Kick-Ass is my all time favorite movie. Why? Because it has EVERYTHING I always love: surreal images, dark comedy, over the top jokes, bloody fight scenes, good character development and of course superheroes. I can't see why some people said that the main character doesn't do nothing. Dave Lizewski single-handedly saved a man's life and just about every word that pours from his mouth (and narration) is worth quoting. He's the only person fighting criminals without a personal vendetta and a character that you genuinely feel bad for when he gets publicly tortured, and it feels good when he redeems himself at the end. Aside of the original graphic novel, one of my favorite comic books is Leo Ortolani's "Rat-Man" and Kick-Ass looks like a live-action version with humans of it, because it shows what the superheroes really mean and their true messages. I like how it's tone ranges from light and droll to dark and brooding. This movie is an insane mix: it's an action movie, a gangster movie, a comedy movie, a high school-buddy movie, a dramatic movie and of course a superhero movie, it has everything! The only downfall of the film in my opinion is the romantic factor between Dave and Katie, it was seriously unacceptable and rushed, even in a movie like this one. But aside of that, I truly adore Kick-Ass. I love how wicked it is, I love how dark it is, I love how frigging' weird it is and most of all I love how spontaneously and without fear takes risks in several points of the plot. I could watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it. It's odd, it's creative, it's my all time favorite movie.
