Not Funny, Not Original. Lame-ass

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2010)

Several things are wrong with this movie. I remember it being promoted as a comedy yet there was absolutely nothing funny about it. I noticed many of the negative reviewers gave it a bad rating due to the violence. I'm a sunshine and rainbows type girl but the violence didn't bother me a bit. No movie should get a bad rating just based on that. The reason I gave it one star is because the story was unoriginal and boring. The main guy, "Kick Ass," does nothing beyond helping a guy that was getting beat up by a gang. That's it. Late in the movie he tells his girlfriend that he has to "go do some Kick-Ass stuff." I was left thinking, "and just what exactly would that be?" He's only in a couple fights and gets the crap beat out of him. How does that make him a "Kick ass" super-hero? What was also annoying was how the movie kept zooming in on his face as he pondered deeply about who knows what. The character everyone seems to like is a little girl that's more brave and fights much better than our nerdy superhero. Oh yeah, she also swears and for some reason people seem to think that's awesome. At no point in the movie did I actually believe an 11 year old would talk or act like she did. The only group of people who would be amused by this are teenage boys, who shouldn't be seeing the movie anyway since it's rated R. I expected this movie to be good. Don't waste your time on it.
