This is a comedy/action adventure with a touch of violence for good measure. The film is based upon the Mark Miller comics and set in current times(how else could MySpace get free advertising?).
Dave Lisewski is an ordinary guy who decides to be a superhero even though he has nothing special about him. His first foray into the crime scene has him beaten,stabbed and run over - not a very good start! Undeterred Kick-Ass becomes a hero(of sorts) and ends up on YouTube.
While sorting out a little problem to get his love interest away from a not so savory character he meets Hit-Girl and Big Daddy - the real deal. Eventually he decides that crime fighting is best left to someone else but it isn't as easy as that!
I enjoyed this movie and even though the swearing was a little tough , an all-around good story was told. Christopher Mintz-Plasse played a good role as Chris D'Amico , son of the main protagonist in the story. The standout character was that of Hit-Girl, Chloe Moretz, a little pocket-rocket for giving the bad guys an absolute ass-kicking!
I give the movie 4 out 5 stars.
