Kick-Ass


So as many people have already expected, Kick-Ass was a very good and very entertaining movie. It manages to create a perfect balance between Superbad-esque raunchy comedy and over the top, crazy, ultra violence. All of the actors are hilarious, and I don't remember any of main characters really falling flat.

I'm not the biggest fan of Nic Cage, but even I have to give credit where credit is due for this movie, and it was a nice touch he did channeling the voice of Adam West for his role as Big Daddy in this movie.

Aaron Johnson use of low-key humor is very effective, though I admit the most entertaining of his parts were just him getting his ass kicked.

As for Mclovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), like I said all actors were good, and he looked like a raccoon. So if you happen to like raccoons, well then you'll love Plasse in the last half of the movie.

So it would be impossible for me to point some of the more crazy over the top in a good way things that happen in this movie without giving away some of the better surprises in the film, but I can say one thing...they do fire a bazooka. Nuff said.

The only thing people might not be thrilled with in this movie would be some of the jokes if they are "over" the whole Superbad style raunchy teen comedies that have been coming out lately, but honestly, who is?
