Review: Kick Ass

Much like how Iron Man did a couple of years ago, Kick Ass succeeds by actually remembering that Super Hero films can be fun and vibrant affairs, and this is a film full of bright colours and actual sunshine can be seen at times - a rarity in the flood of dark and dingy films that followed in the wake of Batman Begins.

Kick Ass is damn funny film at times too - not just from the sweary Hit Girl that grabbed the headlines, but right throughout the cast with even the minor roles of Marty and Todd providing plenty of laughs.

Not sure I agree with all the 5 Star reviews being handed out all over the place for this film, Nicolas Cage is still bad, but its okay here as his tongues firmly in cheek with his best Adam West impression - However, Kick Ass is still a fine film and arguably the best of the year so far.
