Kick Ass is Kick Ass!

The film Kick Ass was based on the comic book written by Mark Millar and illustrated by John Romita Jr. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, produced by Vaughn and actor Brad Pitt, script written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman.

The film tells the story of teenage Dave Lizewski who sets out to become a real life superhero only to get caught up in a bigger fight. He meets Big Daddy, a former cop who, in his quest to bring down an evil drug lord Frank D'Amico, has trained his eleven-year-old daughter to be the ruthless vigilante Hit-Girl.

Kick Ass is a great, funny film with some unexpected violence. It's not like
other superhero films that everyone would watch (not for kids!), because Kick Ass contains brutal violence, pervasive language, drug use, and some sexual content. I'm glad that I've watched it because I'm not a fan of reading comics. It's great for fanboys (and some fangirls too, Hit Girl FTW!!!) as well as the big fans of brutal-comedy movies like me. 4/5
