Movie: Kick Ass
Main Actors: Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Nicolas Cage
MPAA Rating: R (deserved)
Passionate Expressions: Yes, lots of this. It is touchy with this movie, trying to determine what was needed and what wasn’t. There were bad men in this movie, there was a little girl as well. I think I will say that most of it was passionate but..
Useless Vulgar Language: Some did go over the top. Viewer be warned there is a young girl in this movie that is the source of some of the roughest language. I will say that it is consistent with the story, her situation and what was trying to be portrayed.
Sex in a Good Light: Not really
Sex in a Bad Light: There are some scenes that could have been left out. There is one nude scene when the main character goes to the National Geographic web site and there is some near nudity and teenage sexual relationships.
Manly Violence: All of it.
Action Violence: Nope, it was all manly
Pointless Violence: Nope again. This movie was NINJA!
Manly Rating: A+

Food to Watch With: Fried Chicken and a milkshake (I don’t have to tell you why, its my review and I’ll write what I want).
Plot Synopsis: Young man tries to become the world’s first super-hero.
Review: This movie touched so many areas. If I was trying to describe what the movie was about I would say it is Batman if it was done for real. If I’m trying to describe what this movie was meant to portray I’m sure Christians would be in fist fights in the streets. However, because I enjoy fist fights I will try to describe it anyway. To understand why they filmed this movie with so much violence and language I think a clear understanding of movie good guys and bad guys is needed. You can find my report on them here. Anyway, now that you have read my super-long spiel about good and bad guys I will continue my review. Yes, there is a lot of cursing and violence in this movie. But, when good and evil fight each other it usually isn’t an intellectual fight. I don’t want to give any of the movie away to anyone who is going to watch it, I will only say a couple things. This movie is awesome, it is sad, it is painfully honest and it has crap in it that it didn’t need. Watch with caution, know what you believe and pay attention to the message.
Life Lessons: A neoprene suit does not a super-hero make.
Summary: Awesome movie……just awesome.
Would I Watch This Again: Without a doubt.
