1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Kick Ass kicks ass! Revel in dark sarcasm and decadent violence as an unlikely crew takes on bad guys. The premise is so out of left field, that you find yourself confronted with jaw-dropping scene after jaw-dropping scene so macabre, that your gut reaction is to laugh. And plenty of laughs abound. Average teenager dons dorky outfit aside, along comes a tween-aged girl that spills as much bad-guy blood as the goriest Halloween zombie movie. Throw in your typical teen coming of age stuff and you literally don’t know what to think about this plot – eventually you just sit back, drop your jaw, and laugh as you shake your head thinking about how they came up with this story. Enjoy!

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Aaron Johnson is great as the main character Kick Ass. But my favorites are Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl and Nicholas Cage as Big Daddy. Daughter and Father are a perfect fit has they hit you with outlandish zingers (look for the big cock in the sky — indeed!) and inexplicable violence that finds you laughing as you think about its source.

5. Male Stars Very Good 3.5

6. Female Stars Very Good 3.5

10. Film

    Really Great 4.5

    Vaughn delivers what might end up being a new cult classic with KA. This is a melting pot of teenage coming-of-age, gen-X (or is it Y?) flavor of “where did that come from?” humor, darkish sarcasm, and kick-ass violence. You end up always wanting to see what happens next – excellent!
