KICK-ASS: A mixed bag of awesomeness




























I can't find words to describe how awesome this movie is. It's just SO FUCKING GREAT!

The story goes like this: A young guy named Dave Lizewski dreams about being a superhero, because he's nothing special at all and he's sick of all the bad guys going around, robbing and beating up people without no one doing anything about it. So he buys a scuba-diving suit and becomes Kick-Ass. The rest you'll have to see for yourself.

I've mentioned before that I think Watchmen is the best superhero-movie. I have totally changed my mind about that. This is without a doubt the best superhero-movie ever made, and probably the best movie ever made that was based on a comic-book. It's between this one and Oldboy.
The first thing I have to mention is the violence. If you're not used to violence in movies and are a bit queasy, then do not see this movie. It's pretty damn violent, to say the least. People gets shot, stabbed, chopped, burned, blown away and microwaved(don't ask). In other words: Awesome! In some scenes it's fun, some scenes it's sickening and in some scenes it's uncomfortably realistic. Nevertheless, great.
Then there's the humour. This is an incredibly funny movie. The jokes come at you all the time and you always have a smile on your face(except for some of the serious moments of the film).
The acting is amazing, Aaron Johnson is very sympathetic in the lead role, and Chloé Moretz as Hit-Girl is, again, awesome! Also, Nicolas Cage makes his best role since Adaptation. It's nice that he's back to making awesome movies.
Now, how about the look of the film. Hoky shit, it's like going into Willy Wonkas chocolate factory, except everyone's fighting. The cinematography is astounding and they really caught the comic-book feel, maybe even more like Sin-City, if that is possible.
The only thing left is the soundtrack, which is like the cherry on top of a milkshake. Just wow.

This is a masterpiece and the best movie of the year so far, but I seriously doubt that any movie can top this.

10/10
