Superhero movies project- SLionsCricket
Kick-Ass is a realistic superhero film that is hilarious, disturbing and realistic all at the same time whilst maintaining a sense of fun throughout. When I think of movies that I underestimated prior to watching, Kickass pops into my mind.
Kick-Ass is visually exciting, has amazing action sequences, great character development, a fine story, solid performances and a good script that adds further power to an already powerful film. If I had any issue with the film, it was a portion in the middle that felt somewhat cliched in comparison to everything else that happened before that. Nonetheless, the sense of fun and adventure is present by the end of the film. Another little issue I had, was the villain and his scheme. For a movie so original in characters and themes, it felt like the villain didn't have as interesting and original a story to work with.
That said, Kick-Ass, when ranking superhero films of the modern day, ranks in the same region that Batman Begins ranks at in the sense that both are rock-solid first films that lay the foundations for something bigger and better. The Dark Knight topped this off masterfully, I can only hope that Kick-Ass 2 does the same.
