Apparently Kick Ass Kicks...Butt!

Of course its just one guys opinion..but after the class footage we have seen I really can't see this one being bad. Anyway, here's some of what Tibbs had to say...

"I'm a huge fan of the Mark Millar/John Romita jr comic anyway, so to see the film so early felt like a massive coup, and I'm happy to tell you that this is the Kick-Ass film that Kick-Ass fans will want to see. It opens like the first comic virtually verbatim (I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read them), but the film itself varies only slightly from the source comic, but the changes made by director Matthew Vaughan and screenwriter Jane Goldman ring true to the spirit of the comic, and never feel strange, in fact the changes made make the film seem logical and help some bring some of the wilder concepts down to earth....

..Brit Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass more than fills the lead role ably handling the accent, but I did feel that he lacked the vulnerability of the comic's Dave Lizewski, never nerdy enough and definitely too buff, but that's just nit-picking at a role that should catapult him into the big time. Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse proves that he has what it takes to hold his own in a comedic role as Red Mist, and he seems perfectly cast. Nic Cage, who I wasn't really to impressed with when I heard he was cast as Big Daddy, proved me wrong by putting in a hilarious, Adam West-esque performance (although his final scenes did raise a few eyebrows for his scene-chewing, but again I won't spoil it for you)...

..But the film truly belongs to Chloe Moretz who, as Hit Girl, tears through the film as the baddest pre-pubescent 4 foot badass ever committed to film. She totally owns every scene and provided the audience with at least three bandstanding crowd cheering moments. She's funny, witty, knowing, hugely crude, and just massively ass-kicking, her Matrix lobby-esque scene at the film's climax is just incredible, and again should propel her into the big time by just being one of the most incredibly cool characters in any comic book film ever...

..[Although the film was a rough early cut,]...I'm quite confident in saying this is up there with the best comic films I've ever seen (Spiderman 2, Dark Knight), and probably one of the best films i've seen all year. It's rude, lewd, naughty and knowing. The violence is brutal, the laughs come thick and fast, and the tone is pitch perfect."

There is a lot more which you can read if you click on the link at the end..but you get the gist! Lets hope this dude isn't over selling it, but something tells me we don't have to worry!
