| Kick-Ass: A Real World Super-hero
Read on Kick-Ass Would Be Crime-Fighters Soar with Nicolas Cage Bad Ass Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse Star in Kick-Ass Movie Kick-Ass Movie Review With more and more people requiring his services, he finds it difficult to balance his normal life with his alter-ego’s, and one night ends up in, way over his head trying to deal with a gang, where he is rescued by the mysterious, yet talented, Hit-Girl and Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage). When he is mistakenly identified as the guy who foiled a crime orchestrated by crime lord Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), a price is put on his head, and he is suddenly in need of protection himself, something offered by his new acquaintances. The film is the story of teenage comic book geek, Dave Lizewski, who decides that becoming a super-hero can be done, it just takes some determination. So he embarks on getting himself an outfit, and hitting the streets to break up minor crimes and acts of thuggery; however, after being stabbed and run over, and just about surviving, he would be forgiven for giving up. He doesn’t Air Force 1 High, however, and after breaking up a beating outside a diner, he is filmed, and posted on the internet, and becomes an overnight sensation. “Why has no one tried to be a super-hero in the real world?” So asks Dave Lizewski (new star Aaron Johnson), thus beginning one of the more entertaining films of the year. It’s an interesting adaptation of the Marvel comic series by the team of Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., and it certainly wasn’t without criticism and controversy when it was released last month. So, where does this film sit? And why was it considered controversial? Overall, this is one of the more entertaining films of the year so far, and is certainly an interesting take on the super-hero tradition. The controversy isn’t wholly unfounded, but it shouldn’t prevent you from seeing the film, as i Hit Girl Saves the Day When he is contacted by a fellow crimefighter, calling himself Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) nike air max 95, he thinks he’s found a kindred spirit, only to find out that Red Mist is in fact Chris D’Amico, son of the crime lord, and he has been tricked into giving up himself and Big Daddy. Both are beaten up savagely on live tv, and ultimately Big Daddy is killed in front of his daughter, who is attempting a rescue mission. Hit Girl and Kick Ass escape and plot a revenge mission on D’Amico’s headquarters. In a fast paced and brilliantly choreographed final battle sequence, Hit Girl and Kick Ass take down D’Amico’s goons, and eventually D’Amico himself, with an inventive use of a bazooka. They leave behind Red Mist however, thus setting up (provisionally) next year's sequel. The controversy that dogged this film and its director, Matthew Vaughn, was mainly directed towards the violence – which is gory at times – and the fact that the young heroine ‘Hit-Girl’ new jordan 2011, played by Chloe Moretz, is violent and slightly foul-mouthed, despite only being 12 during the making of the film. The controversy seems a little over the top at times, having said that, the film does feature some quite gory scenes (people having limbs chopped off however, it’s gore in the comic book style, and is nothing to what is featured in the comic itself; in fact, as the comic proudly boasts on some versions of its cover, “sickening violence: just the way you like it.” This is meant to be taken somewhat tongue-in-cheek and, at times, this film is almost Tarantino-esque in its portrayals of violence. If that kind of thing offends you, then this film probably isn’t for you. |
