The best superhero film ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2010)

I thought this film was so original and highly amusing as well. Every one should check it out. The themes in the film, although very adolescent in nature, take on a very macabre meaning for adults and youngsters alike. The struggles with growing up, the drug-pedaling gangsters taking lives and the simple meaning of the word family all come together to remind how easy it is to feel like a nobody in today's society. This film should be the example that prospective filmmakers follow to ensure they produce good quality, well-written and acted pieces of brilliance. Cleverly bordering on juvenile and downright grotesque, Kick-Ass delivers a very poignant message to its audience: stand up for what you believe in – and although it doesn't contain any real superheroes, this is easily the best superhero film out there.
Having my own personal history of playing with weapons, I can easily tell you that anyone with a penchant for martial arts (or ass-kicking) will immediately fall for this little beauty. That said, it's not solely aimed at the fighters amongst you. There's a child in it, for one. An ass-kicking child, but a child nonetheless; one that will probably shove a heap of wind up your rear pipe if you're one of those people that think children should be wrapped in cotton wool. Or that children shouldn't be commended for fighting or using weaponry. If you find yourself falling into one of these categories, please stay away from this production. And don't be fooled by the little purple-haired wonder either – she'll break you and the horse you rode in on.
