My Kick-Ass Review

Posted by TheBigLemon - April 17th, 2010


I like movies. I like violent movies without an overall message or theme. I like movies that make you think. Well, in a way, Kick-Ass was both.

It glorifies violence in a way that shows you it's bad, much like Watchmen, but on the same note, has fun with it. It tells the message in a way that still will appeal to the blood lust in all of us. Like one of the friends says, "If anyone tried to be a superhero, they'd be killed in, like, a day."

True, that exact message doesn't play out in the film, but it's the overall 'message' they're trying to display. You can't just put on a mask and go fight people.

The violence was over the top and horrifying in the best possible way, and it had to be in order to convey what it wanted to.

Moving away from the more thought provoking part, let's move on to the other side. The awesome, kick you in the fucking balls, over the top, 11 year old girl saying 'cunt' action. Yeah. If you choose to ignore the earlier message, than you'll still be entertained as fuck.

The fights (especially Big Daddy's in the warehouse) are so fluid, so well put together, it was crazy. The way that little girl handled herself in those extreme situations was great. Chloe Whoever Whateverthefuck (Hit Girl) was just awesome in this, delivering her lines, punches, and bullets like a real professional.

Now, there is some controversy (obviously) of the 11 year old girl saying the word cunt. Get the fuck over yourselves. I, honestly, would be more worried about her chopping off a guy's leg or twirling a butterfly knife around like a pro. Not her cursing.

Anyways, I generally don't like Nic Cage. At all. There's very few instances where he's enjoyable, and he was very enjoyable in this. I loved his portrayal. He was a big Adam West-ian dork, and a badass, and I loved it.

The titular character was the most annoying in my opinion. I don't know what is was about him, but, he wasn't as likable as the rest. Not saying he was un-likable, just less. I think the character was just kind of full of himself. That "can do" attitude can be annoying when the person obviously can't do.

Anyways, I really did enjoy the film as a thinker and a "LOL HOLY SHIT THAT GUY'S LEGG JUST GOT CUT OFF BY A 11 YEAR OLD." 9/10

Best line? "Switch to kryptonite!" When you see the movie, you'll understand why.
