Kick-Ass review

To get a general idea on the quality of this film, see the title.

This is a movie about a high schooler who decides that in the face of all of the injustice in society, he is going to become a super hero to stop it. This leads to him going to the internet purchasing a costume, and going out to fight injustice in the world….

This leads to a scene that appealed to the sadist in me, when he tries to stop a car jacking. Now then, this kid in a suit has had no combat experience and is taking on some thugs in New York. They beat the stuffing out of him and stab him, then run off when the cops come. Finally, somebody realizes that your average thug DOES know how to fight! Well, after that whole stabbing incident our hero still decides to keep getting himself in trouble.

This leads him to do something to impress a girl at his school. For some reason he decides that going to her heroin addicted boyfriend’s house to tell him to leave her alone. This goes about as well as his first super hero attempt, this time; however, he gets saved by a psychotic 13 year old and her daddy. At first you’d think a 13 year old girl being a super hero would be weird, but when you get to know here and you’re father, you start wondering whether or not child services should be called.

Strangely, this movie is like Watchmen, but it doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously. It’s quite interesting. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, as the violence levels are deliciously high. Also contains a lot of swearing. But mostly violence. Lots of delicious violence. The movie is lots of fun too. Although a lot of ridiculous stuff happens, the characters manage to be believable. Acting is good, as I never had any trouble believing the characters. The plot is ok, but the characters manage to move it forward nicely. There’s scenes that make you cringe, scenes that make you laugh, and scenes that’ll make you go “AWESOME.”

Definitely appeals to the person who loves watching wanton violence

You should see the movie, since it’s very exiting.
