Kick-Ass

 Dave Livewski (Aaron Johnson) an unnoticed high school student who is comic book enthusiast, but one day decides he will be the hero for once. He has no training, meaning or reason to do this but he feels he can be a superhero by not just having a super power but just helping people, weather or not you have to confront two thugs with a blade. Although he still powers through and ends up teaming up with two other wannabe heroes Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloe Mortez) who have the skill and training they form a vigilante team, fighting drug dealers and vandals.     
I have heard good reviews like 'A pitch-perfect comic book and superhero homage that also works as a supremely enjoyable action film as well as wish fulfillment for wannabe superheroes of all ages'.Who wouldn't want to be him? I know for sure I am one of the thousands of people that would because I enjoyed the film. Furthermore I have heard bad but fair reviews like 'The select audience it is aimed for will thoroughly enjoy it while the rest of us will suffer through it'. I went to watch the trailer before the film, I felt it gave great credit and expectation for the film to come. It all starts with one question 'How come no one has tried to be a superhero? ' So he follows his destiny and takes the character off the brightly coloured page and makes it reality. But before I went to watch the film I read that it was 'Not for the faint of heart, Kick-Ass takes the comic adaptation genre to new levels of visual style, bloody violence, and gleeful profanity'. After reading this I thought this is a film for me, during the film action would be there at every blink. Not one dull moment would pass, this made the audience thrilled every time the heroic team appeared.
After watching the film I feel (Matthew Vaughn) filled his duty of making a fresh new genre of film.
