My Movie Review: Kick-Ass
5/5
Opening Statement: Story of a teenager who dreams of becoming a vigilante hero soon finds himself intwined with other vigilantes seeking vengeance against a big coke dealer and his henchmen. Basic, original comedy at every twist and turn, a must-see. Probably the best movie of 2010. ( I might be able to speak about the future too)
Whats Good: Pretty much everything, I really enjoyed every intense action scene, negative reviews say its too violent, it truly isn't that bad, a couple amputations and comical violence, lots of blood. Deep down though Kick-Ass has a very war heart, and you feel the heart of the movie during the second half. The music was spectacularly used, the emotion in this film was true to itself and the comedy was more true. The acting is another thing i'd like to touch on i've never met the kid that plays Kick-Ass but I hope to see him soon, not to mention Nicholas Cage's best performance in years. The little girl truly shines as Hit Girl who has been raised as birth to be a killing machine. The villans are very interesting too, not to mention the son of the coke dealer played by our favorite McLovin. They take basic violent comedy and coat it with a nice warm theme, that makes characters you people whose stories you truly care about. Great cast, great effects and not to mention the spectacular art direction, the artistic heights Kick-Ass reach are around that of Sin City's but they in no way over-do it. A VERY fun movie, definitley not to violent, or inappropriate, honestly a film for everyone.
Whats Bad: Absolutely Nothing, see this movie, if its not for you, so be it, a fun action film however that is gritty and entertaining and very comical.
Consensus: Probably going to see it over and over again if I can. Remarkable, artistic comedy, this and How to Train Your Dragon should be Best Picture contenders this year. But the academy will defintley decide against this.
