SPOILER DON'T WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM.
Awesome film.
The highlight for me was definitely Hit Girl's rescue scene. It was a powerful and moving scene for me, Big Daddy getting his ass burnt alive.
The first person shooter angle was also awesome. Use of the tactical weapon light was awesome. I'm saying awesome a lot aren't I?
I wished Hit Girl would've went for the ninja approach. She could have stealthily dispatched the guys close to Big Daddy with a knife, and then freed Big Daddy quietly while everyone else was still in darkness. Of course, it wouldn't have been as cool, and BD would've lived...
As for realism, I think it was okay, but a few things bugged me:
- Hit Girl throwing the clips into the air and then into her gun when she reloaded.
- The jet pack.
One other thing, when Hit Girl goes to the Bad guy's penthouse, she initially uses a silenced pistol, then switches to a rope dart (ultimately it alarmed the rest of the guards, they could've yelled too but they didn't). Why did she do that? As shown earlier, she is quite proficient with a pistol, she could have dispatched all three guards in a second, and she would've done it with absolute stealth.
Again, I'm sure it was done to be visually impressive and what not, but just another one of those things that doesn't make sense.
8.75/10
Kick-Ass is a superhero film based on the 2010 comic book of the same name.Kick-Ass tells the story of Dave Lizewski average teenager (Aaron Johnson), a fanboy of comics who decides to take his obsession inspiration to become a real life superhero.Kick-Ass is a violent, sometimes sadistic film and often amoral. It is also fun breathtaking and wonderfully transgressive. It is not entirely faithful to his vanity, but once Moretz primarily in the action it does not care.
I saw it the other day, and it blew my mind. That is easily tied with "Toy Story 3" as the best movie of the year. To me, the movie year's over. NOTHING is going to top that.
I feel nerdy, though, because everyone walked out going "Man, that was cool." I, however, launched out into the sidewalk screaming "WHAT THE **** WAS THAT?!?!?!?! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!"
My expectations were so low, and yet that movie made my balls burst from an overdose of awesome.
I don't know what to give it. At its LOWEST, it's a 9.5/10, but I think it'll end up being a 10/10.
