Kick-Ass previews

This is a great film, prehaps not for the family but im pretty sure everyone will get a good laugh out of it. Its a film that you think you know whats going to happen but you don't, its an action, comedy and crime all rolled into one. Move over spiderman, the real superhero with no real powers is in town. Kick-Ass!

This is by far the best movie I have seen this year, it combines an excellent plot and extremely humorous dialogue with superbly choreographed action sequences to create a film that more than delivers what it says on the box.

Staring you and up coming actors such as Chloe Moretz, this is a funny yet action packed movie. With massive fights, this is a great movie for a Saturday night with your mates after the rugby!!!!

The superhero genre has exploded ever since Spiderman hit the screen in 2002, however none have fully captured the consequences for choosing to become a superhero; until Kick Ass, that is.

With a similar tone to Fight Club and cues taken from Tarantino, Kick Ass is a playful but gritty movie at the same time. It manages to balance comedy and drama perfectly, overly colourful yet grim at the same time. The less said the better as the story is a great ride – very close to the source material. The R18 rating means they can tackle controversial subject matter and violence that M rated superhero movies cannot. Quite a refreshing change.

The performances are great, Nicolas Cage channels his inner Adam West and Aaron Johnson is a perfectly normal teenager and an apt narrator. Mark Strong and Chloe Moretz are definite highlights as well. The soundtrack is pitch perfect and a fantastic accompaniment.

Bottom line: Kick-Ass is a brilliant, fun and subtly intelligent film that belongs on anyone's DVD shelf to be re-watched again and again.
