Movie Review: Kick-Ass

Friday, April 2, 2010
Synopsis: Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy, decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl and her father, Big Daddy.

Starring: Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicolas Cage
Directed by: Matthew Vaughn
U.S. Rating: R

I should start saying that I was expecting more from this film, even though, it was pretty good and entertaining.

With such an amazing cast, an original script and story, this "bloody", bizarre and clever film will really entertain you.

The film is about Dave Lizewski, an ordinary high school student who lives with his dad and loves comic-books. He asks himself why noone has tried to be a superhero and decides to buy a custom and a mask, which keeps under his daily cloths (just like Superman or Spider-Man), just waiting for the opportunity to fight crime. When he finds the first chance, the bad guys bit the crap out of him! (really funny!). He doesn't stop and decides to keep fighting crime and by a mobile video taken during one of his "crime fighting moments" he becomes quickly in a huge internet media icon. On the other hand, Damon Macready/Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and his little daughter Mindy/Hit Girl are also superheroes who fight crime, and especially, a powerful organization, with real guns and extreme violence. Damon took this undercover superhero role to revenge the death of his wife. When Frank D'amico (the lider of this powerful organization) and Damon & his daughter find "Kick-Ass", they decide to use him to get to each other and either kill these superheroes, or revenge a wife's death.

A pretty good and entertaining film, with some good action and comedy scenes. So recommended if you're into a crazy, bizarre film loaded with good fights, guns, and some good bloody, crazy and funny scenes.

What did I like from this movie?

1. Chloe Grace Moretz. This little girl played the best role performance in this film. She was funny, smart, bold and perfectly mature for the role she had to perform
2. Nicholas Cage looked pretty funny in a custom!
3. There were some pretty funny scenes and some other good action moments

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. Nicholas Cage sucked big time on the scene where he's in pain and talking with his daughter before he dies

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
