Yesterday I went to see Kick Ass which turned out to be a very good decision!
If you were a bit of a geek when you were a teenager you'll probably appreciate the premise of this movie all the more.
Dave (Aaron Johnson) is your average comic loving, "nothing special about him" teenager who starts to wonder why nobody has tried to become a super hero before. After a particularly funny conversation with his two friends he decides he's going to do it and before long he's suited and booted in a green and yellow jumpsuit and calling himself Kick Ass.
After fending off a gang of drug dealers Dave becomes an internet sensation and real life super heroes Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) step in to warn him of the dangers of being a super hero.
The villain of the movie is Frank D'Amico, the local drug dealer whose son, unaware of his father's real job, is desperate to get into the family business. In a bid to take down Kick Ass, D'Amico appoints his son, Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to create his own super hero identity, Red Mist.
The stand out performance without a doubt comes from Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl. In some positively Tarantino-esque scenes she truly kicks ass!
