Do ya still wanna become a superhero?

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2010)

I've been lucky to see that movie yesterday on the special showing at the biggest Moscow theater before the official Russian release date. Though I'm not a real admirer of the films based on comic books due to it's tend to be boring and silly, there are some good pictures in that vein which I find rather good. For instance ''Iron Man'' or ''Dark Knight''. This time my scrupulous attention was attracted by the matter of fact that it's a kinda parody movie. I'm saying ''kinda'' because ''Kick Ass'' is also based on the comic book, but this book in comparing with others is fairly untypical mainly for the specific approaching to superhero idea and a comedy script. Seen references in press and comments of other people were quite good therefore I couldn't avoid the opportunity to see it.
Have you ever dreamed to become a superhero in your childhood? I guess you did. But now try to remember what had always stopped you? Yes right! Even in our childhood we had a perception that in real life we will definitely be beaten, that somebody will obviously kick our ass. Dave Lizewski is the same guy with the same dreams, but the difference is that he attempted to make his dream come true. He bought a superhero costume in the internet shop and went out on the streets to struggle against a crime and establish the justice. Of course No wonder he's got clobbered twice, but despite of it he has rapidly become a famous star. Just because of his non-careless attitude.
''I don't wanna be involved'', ''Why should I help someone?'', ''It's not my problem'' that's what constantly people thinking while somebody's in danger. And when they are eventually finding themselves in a tight corner, they start to complain of no one didn't try to help them. It's a deep and serious society problem, nobody cares 'bout each other issues, usually people even afraid to call the police. And even though this is a comedy ''Kick Ass'' tries to awake feeling that you always have a capacity to help, that you shouldn't keep yourself aloof from the real problems.
But it was a lyrical digression. Of course this movie should be considered as funny comedy which parodies comic movies. Matthew Vaughn had satisfied almost all spectators' demands. Perpetual jokes permanently fuels during entire film, I was literally writhing in hysterics while watching it. Clumsy hero in stupid hydro costume, idiotic tandem of Nicholas Cage (who parodied the Batman) and his little daughter, stupid mafia made me laughing all the time. Definitely this is the funniest film of this year. Elaborately madden action scenes delighting eyes, since ''Kill Bill'' I don't remember so brutal, cruel with lotta blood and violence film. Another one good side is that ''Kick Ass'' ain't overextended like the most of such movies, it isn't become annoying in the middle.
No doubt this is amazing stuff to spend vacations or after working evening greatly. The only one minus is that for obvious reasons you cannot take your children (if you have them) on this film. Rest of all is great, if you have an opportunity to see it, don't hesitate!
