Kick-Ass the movie!

Saw it a few weeks ago, loved it.

I watched this last night and enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.

I thought the first actual Kickass fight sequence - where he got knifed and run over by a car - reflected pretty close to what would actually happen if some nerd with no superpowers and no martial arts skills ever tried to don a goofy costume and fight crime.

The combat sequences with Hit Girl were amazing!  She is one tough little woman!

The character development and the relationship between Kickass and his girlfriend were well done and made me like both characters a bit more.  His two goofy nerd friends were fun to watch.

As far as dislikes . . .

I can't unabashedly admire any movie that features an 11 year old cursing like a sailor.  Call me old fashioned, but I don't like hearing even grown women, much less little girls, talk like that.

And it is still kinda freaky to see "superheroes" actually KILLING the bad guys.  They usually save that for the last scene, in the confrontation with the major villain - but Big Daddy and Hit Girl turned a whole bunch of goons into hamburger in this movie!

This film is violent and gory and has tons of F-bombs, so it is definitely not for the kids.  But I would be lying if I said I wasn't pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it overall.

The movie was enough of a teen film to make me feel very old, but not so much so that I could not relate to it at all.

Bought the DVD and watched it last night.  VERY entertaiing!

It was ok.

I kept thinking that the movie would be much better if Kick-Ass wasn't even in it and instead focused entirely on Big Daddy and Hit-Girl.

2.5 out of 4 stars.
