Film Review: Kick Ass
Kick Ass is my kind of cinema. A homage to a genre, a cracking script, great action and some hilarious moments.
I'm quite surprised that no one has every really effectively paid tribute and mocked the superhero genre until this film. Since when did we think that wearing tight primary-coloured costumes and giving us stupendous names was a cool thing to do? This is genius film making, inspired no doubt by drunk conversations in the pub.
"How dumb is the superhero phenomenon?"
I need to remember to make notes when such ideas come to my head, and yes they sometimes do.
Great to see that British talent drove this film. Matthew Vaughn is obviously a talented film maker. Mark Strong is also becoming one of cinema's best bad guys.
Oh yes and any film with McLovin in is alright in my book.
Genius.
