Watching the whirlwind that is Hit Girl perform a routine almost straight out of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong days stuns us in a way no big screen chase ever could. This is the everyman doing the things we could do if wanted to not a guy from another reality or possessed with great drive and ambition. That's why they exude coolness, despite Dave's almost humdrum existence. Make characters do cool things, instead of Michael Bay-esquire things happening to them. The real visual joy of "Kick Ass" is it's desire to keep it simple but not at the expense of wowing us. And make the narrative interesting and most of all relatable so we're with Dave 100% of the way, it doesn't just have to functional. The more they do, the more they try, the more you know and love them.
KICK IT WITH YOU HOW TO
Matthew Vaughn has finally solved the hurdle that all superhero movies suffer, namely how to get to know and love your characters without long drawn out scenes. It's script is razor-sharp, dumping the pretension of "the burden of heroism" crippling even the better superhero films, showing this in actions rather than long drawn out emoting. Most movies entertain, but this one? It wants to BLOW YOU AWAY! Less smarter movies have done that but "Kick Ass" ain't giving that up either. Mainly because everyone involved seems determined to honour the comic and redefine a genre. Make no mistake, nothing you believe of this movie compares to what Vaughn and co. Seemingly impossible in a done to death genre where we've already glimpsed Mark Millar's signature style in "Wanted", but "Kick Ass" is all about the unexpected. Reason being, is "Kick Ass"doesn't want to be good or above average, "Kick Ass" wants to be great and it has the balls to want to be original too. Or you're here because you think it looks a decent or a good superhero movie to join the ranks of the ones you already love? DEAD wrong.
You're on this page because you think it's gonna be good? Wrong. In a movie industry cluttered with own-grown hype, gimmicks and lack of idea, "Kick Ass" bursts onto the screen and shatters all expectations in it's wake.
