Kick-Ass is the latest highly anticipated adaptation of a popular comic book, while the ending is different and leans toward the typical happy ending. Kick-Ass is still Kick-Ass.Aaron Johnson plays Kick-Ass, a once average teen who was sick of getting picked on and all the bad people in the city. He decides that he wants to be a superhero and fight crime, the problem is; he doesn't have any superpowers. After becoming a Youtube phenomenon, Kick-Ass gets dug deeper into the gritty and violent crime underworld. He meets Big Daddy and Hit Girl (Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz), who are out to get mob boss Frank D'Amico (played excellently by Mark Strong). Big Daddy and Hit Girl offer Kick-Ass to team up with them to stop D'Amico.
I'll be honest, I haven't enjoyed a film this year, like I enjoyed Kick-Ass. It's gleefull with the graphic violent, it's profane, and often funny. It's obvious that the cast had a good time being involved with this. If you have enjoy tons of bloody violence and a sense of humor, you will enjoy this. If not, you might want to watch something that clearly isn't badass like this. The title clearly speaks for itself.
Overall Grade: A-
