I collected all the individual Kick-Ass comics as they came out and I’ve been waiting to see this film for some time. It was worth the wait. The film is a massive ‘Fuck Off, You Cunts’ to the Daily Mail. It’s also highly entertaining.
Kick-Ass is a comic book film but it’s not for kids. It’s funny with some great character moments. It’s the story of an average school-kid who decides to become a superhero and gets beaten up a lot. He then becomes involved in a conflict between a couple of lunatics (Big Daddy and Hit Girl) and a gang of murderous drug-dealers.
The film is full of comedy violence and inappropriate swearing. It does jump the shark a few times, straying from creator Mark Millar’s vision of a ‘realistic’ superhero story but overall it’s great. Funnier than Watchmen. Worth seeing. The soundtrack was very good, making great use of remixed music from the the film Sunshine.
If you have seen the film, read the comic. It’s even better.
