Synopsis:
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so. 

Review:
Super Hero films will never be the same. This is the graphic novel version of Super Hero movies, with all the blood, gore, beatings & realistic after math of battling evil in the streets. The story of a kid who's sick of bullies & bad guys ruling the streets & takes matters in to his own hands, regardless of the cost to his own body. I'm not going to spend a lot of time trying to critique a film I love because I understand that super hero & graphic novel movies are suppose to be unrealistic & silly, which this one has a lot of both. With an 8 year old girl kicking the most ass in this film of course it's going to be good. The fact that throughout the film the bad guys do shit tons of damage to the heroes as well as the elements of attempting to be a real life hero the film has great action, some laughs & of course the ACADEMY AWARD WINNING acting of Mr. Nicolas Cage. There is one scene in particular that show cases this man's amazing ability to act in any role. (for those of you who have seen it, I'm referring to the fire scene towards the end) Also cameo appearances from Jason Flemyng & Craig Ferguson (as himself on his own show talking about Kick-Ass)

S.P.R.: A/47
Acting: 9/10
