For a comedy, the acting in the kick-ass movie was more than adequate, but the humor is laugh-out-loud all the way. It’s an utterly hilarious, roller-coaster ride of a film. This film really kicks butt in the crowded superhero cinematic genre. Kick-ass may well be the best film of the year.

“Kick-Ass” takes on the Marvel Comics serial by that name created by the team of Millar & Romita Jr. In an industry cluttered with its own hype, gimmicks and dearth of ideas, “Kick Ass” bounds onto the screen and crushes any expectation. “Kick Ass” has no interest in being labeled “good;” it aspires to be great and has the chops to be original, too. Although it would appear to be unfeasible in a genre that’s been done time and again, “Kick Ass” manages to surprise.

Visually “Kick Ass” triumphs by keeping things simple without sacrificing its awesomeness. Let the characters do awesome things, rather than set them in a Michael Bay type environment reacting to things. As a result, they come off as ultra-cool, never mind Dave’s fairly mundane daily life. As opposed to being a man possessed with phenomenal drive or ambition, this is just the guy next door doing the things we’d like to do. Dave is obsessed with getting a gal. He desires a hip persona. The villain is quite believable. Hit Girl brings home a stunning routine straight out of Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong that wows us like no big-screen chase ever before. The films grabs from any number of movies that didn’t quite “click” and churns those elements into a finely balanced brew.

It gives the impression of a sort of melding of “Spider Man” and “Kill Bill.” It offers the usual “kid-deals-with-real-life” aspect as the Peter-Parkerish “nobody” Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) fantasizes about a life greater than his own humdrum teen existence. Finally, as with most children his age, he decides to make a mark on the world by… well, sporting superhero attire, intent on stopping the bad guys. Just as we begin to embrace the notion that this won’t work and he’s heading toward an ass kicking, he learns to improve his odds and becomes aware that he’s not alone in his quest.

This leads us to over-the-top side of the film, which is best exemplified by the latest comic book favorite, “Hit-Girl.” The infectious delight of her operatic, homicidal character brings a spaghetti western appeal to the part that can’t help but perk up the audience.

As is evident in any James Cameron film, acting is often secondary to the stunning visuals. Not one bit here. Nicolas Cage recollects past acting glories by bring home larger-than-life eccentricity shot through and through with a little melancholy. Chloe Moretz joins him in what is sure to be a memorable first role. Aaron Johnson took on the greatest challenge of all. He takes on the movie like he owns the material and is bolstered by a cast in which even the smallest roles have depth and balance. It is an outstanding ensemble of actors. A breakout bunch of acting styles that blend into the best conglomerate, perfect for this flick’s rowdy feel.

“Kick Ass” offers the dazzle of a terrific thrill-ride while insisting on drawing you in to ride the wave and leave the theater on a high note. It doesn’t rely on gimmicks and formulas; instead it breaks the mold, tosses convention out the window and lets you be pleasantly surprised with references to movies you love. It’s far more than a movie; it stands to establish a standard, one that promises more films in the genre with great heart and intellect.

I was blown away and I bet you will be as well.

The soundtrack for this movie is scheduled for a mid-April premier as a single on the UK charts.
