3. INTRODUCTION
Using his love for comics as inspiration, teenager Dave
Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides to reinvent himself as
a superhero -- despite a complete lack of special
powers. Dave dons a costume, dubs himself “Kick-Ass”,
and gets to work fighting crime. He joins forces with the
father/daughter vigilante team of Big Daddy and Hit
Girl, then befriends another fledgling crime-fighter called
Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), but a scheming
mobster soon puts their alliance to the test.
9. POSITIVE SIDES OF KICK-ASS
• Not for the faint of heart, Kick-Ass
takes the comic adaptation genre
to new levels of visual style,
bloody violence, and gleeful
profanity.
• Thoroughly outrageous, jaw-
dropping violent and very funny
riff on the quasi-porn world of
comic books; except that there is
absolutely no 'quasi' about it.
10. • Watching "Kick Ass" is ultimately like being on
a thrill-ride, it doesn't just want to dazzle you,
it's wants to draw you in, ride the wave and
leave the cinema on a high.
• it doesn't do that with gimmicks or tried and
tested formula's, it breaks the mold, shakes
conventions and wants you to be surprised
while complementing all the movies you
already love.
11. NEGATIVE SIDES OF KICK-ASS
• A ridiculously entertaining, perfectly paced,
ultra-violent cinematic rush that kicks the
places other movies struggle to reach. ... The
film's violence is clearly fantastical and
cartoonish and not to be taken seriously.
• The film had ended up a bit less of an over-
the-top action ride.
12. • Never as shocking as it thinks it is, as funny as it
should be, or as engaged in cultural critique as it
could be, Kick-Ass is half-assed.
• It's script is razor-sharp, dumping the pretension of
"the burden of heroism" crippling even the better
superhero films, showing this in actions rather than
long drawn out emoting.
13. CLIMAX
