I'm late to this film, but have always heard things good about it and basically knew the premise going into it. Kick-Ass didn't exceed my expectations, but it also didn't falter. It's exactlt what I thought it would be and I still enjoyed it. It used to be Spider-Man was one of the most relatable Superheroes, but he is dethroned by Kick-Ass. This depicts the realities of if someone were to really take the law into their own hands as a spandex wearing vigilante and I love that about it.

... View More"Kick-Ass" is one of the reasons why it is still so much fun to explore new movies over and over again. It tells us the story of an average boy who chooses to become a real-life super hero, thereby starting a chain of incidents that lead him to a place he could never have imagined.This film is not just another one you can fit into a scheme perfectly. It rather does actually bring some new and refreshing elements on the table. If the studios really all wanted Hit Girl to be 19 or older, they really didn't get the soul of the film I guess. Not only is the acting overall excellent, the director also proves a good sense of humour on the way.You could argue that "Kick-Ass" is a bit longer than the average film and that maybe there would have been options to cut it down a bit without hurting the story, but nevertheless it never gets to the point of being boring and a remarkable soundtrack helps to keep your focus on the screen.I really liked the film though. If you're not afraid of explicit violence and open-minded, this is definitely a should-see. It's not only a homage to the comic genre, it is indeed a piece of art itself.
... View MoreThis is one of the most entertaining movies I ever watched, and I saw over thousand in last few years. Action is not set in some superhero universe, it's in our world where heroes are just comic book characters. Kid who is completely into superhero stuff decides to become one, although he has no powers and, even worse, he is clumsy nerd. And then he realizes that he is not the only one who came to that idea. Movie is extremely funny, has Nicholas Cage in one of leading roles, 12 years old Chloe Grace Moretz nailed one of her first serious roles, and music is awesome with The Pretty Reckless, Sparks and many other great bands. Within the genre it's 10/10 <3
