Kick-Ass (5 out of 5 stars)
MARV Films/ April 16, 2010
In
short: A bunch of kiddies decide to become superheroes with no powers and hilarity and extreme violence ensue.
Why you’ll like it: It's awesome. Hit girl made my life (those of you up in arms about her only being 11 when this is filmed, get over it. She'll be fine) It's crude and violent and extremely original.
On the Other Hand: Yes, the is some offensive language...most of it from an 11-year-old girl.
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.
