Thu, Apr 22, 2010
High-school geeks dressing up in ugly wet suits and calling themselves super heroes was not my idea of a great movie but I’m glad to say that, this time, I was oh so wrong, as Kick-Ass well, kicked ass.
Aaron Johnson is absolutely brilliant playing the main geeky role of Dave Lizewski, an unnoticed high school student who is a major comic book fan. Lizewski, who lives alone with his father, leads quite a dull life, with little to look forward to except meeting up with the only two friends he has, unfortunately this usually ends in ritual mugging from local bullying brutes. However, one day he has had enough. He begins to ask why should the drug dealers, criminals, and vandals be allowed to get away with it? Why hasn’t anyone thought of becoming a super hero and taking them on?
