"Kick-Ass" blew me away!

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2010)

"Kick-Ass" blew me away! Right from the moment I saw the trailer I knew that I wanted to see this movie. It is easily the best movie I have seen this year! Not being a big comic book reader for years now, I didn't need to compare the story to the anything. Although I may have to source the "Kick-Ass" issues to see what I have been missing. I watch movies for the sheer entertainment value and I was entertained indeed. Where people tell me that a book "is a really good read", "Kick-Ass" is "a really good watch". The characters were so much fun and the action was awesome. Chloë Grace Moretz definitely stole the show. How couldn't you love her wit and sarcasm, not to mention the action scenes? Last year "Zombieland" was my runaway favourite for its quirkiness, originality and fun. It looks like "Kick-Ass" will be it this year. Hopefully we will see more great stuff from Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman.
