A Kick-Ass Review

Theatrical release posterWhat is the recipe for a kick ass movie: a good amount of BGG (Blood, Guns, and Geeks). The latest in a trend of nerdy comic book related movies, Kick-Ass takes on a story line unique to anything seen recently. Imagine Iron Man’s Tony Stark without the good looks, money, and brains and you have Dave Lizewski. Dave sets out to become the super hero Kick-Ass. After some unfortunate situations of wrong place wrong time, he meets Hit Girl and Big Daddy to other super heroes running around the city attempting to carry out their own greater plan against the “evil villains” of this town.

Throughout this entire film you will be left saying two things 1) “Did they just do that O.o? and 2) “That kicked ass”. Kick-Ass was an interesting mix of crazy, fun, and impossibility. If you are looking for a fun movie filled with violence, teenage angst, super heroes, and comedy then this is defiantly one to check out. It has been a long time since I have walked out of a movie with my blood pumping and this has brought me back to that point.
