Characters and story, Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass which is played by Aaron Johnson where by day he plays Dave, a dumb ass college student that during his time at college he likes to look at his teachers melons let say but he is looking for that one true love like all superhero's with their girl next door. By night he plays as Kick Ass who is still a dumb ass but he is looking for his way to fame as the true hero from all the comic book characters which we all know and love, funny enough he makes his claim to fame from the world of the internet, its amazing what you can do these days. Mindy Macready/Hit Girl which is played by Chloe Moretz, probably one the most influential characters to people to know and love in this film, a girl who has never had a proper childhood, a girl who would probably rather have a hand grenade for Christmas than a tangerine in her Christmas stocking. Damon Macready/Big Daddy played by Nicholas Cage, the guy who constantly is getting mistaken to Batman, a man looking for revenge for false chargers and the loss of his wife. Chris D'Amico/Red Mist who is played by Christopher Mintz Plasse who is simply another dumb ass college student who wants to follow in his fathers business which sadly Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) is the gang lord in this town which seems his business is been run down by mask crusaders one block at a time. For all these characters in this film, they fit perfectly with the story and even the side characters fit very well into this plot which does not happen every day in films.Acting when it comes to the serious points of the film is quite emotionally effective and you do at times feel quite sorry for the characters and understand why they are suffering.
There is a lot of comedy in this film which even though sometimes not necessary it works quite well with the story but even so every actor in this film seems to become quite a good comedian with each and every moment looking to add a sly pun which can get quite annoying sometimes. The action scenes in this film is probably some of the best I have ever scene since the Matrix, well perhaps not The Matrix but it is certainly above par, it is well done and balanced, gory but effective to realistic and to me is one of my favourite things about this film as it redefines comic book films all together which are usually mild, not to much violence and swearing to this which is completely opposite leaving it much darker than other super hero films.
This film does show one good truth of society that most people watch bad things happen to people each day on the street and do nothing about it, or even record it which seem to happen alot within the film. Overall a great film which has become one of my personal favourites in its genre, it may not have the qualities of artistic and a film that
makes you really think about its plot and story but its there for its purpose and is done brilliantly well.
