Kick-Ass!
It sure did. If there ever was a movie that (largely) encapsulates what a teenage American male (especially wimpy nerds) want to be at least temporarily – a superhero – this is surely it. This kid makes it happen, usually the hard way with bruises and broken bones, but ultimately gets a boost from YouTube along the way. And Nicholas Cage in (finally!) a quirky, weirdo role like those he used to do early on (Birdy, Raising AZ, etc.) – although here he’s a man with a mission. And his daughter pretty much steals the show every time she’s onscreen.
This wasn’t at all the movie I thought it would be – but it was still great – get it!
