My Top 10 Favorite Lines from "Kick-Ass"...

10.  "As a great man once said... 'Wait till they get a load of me.' " - Red Mist/Chris D'Amico


9. "Good call, baby doll." - Big Daddy/Damon MacCready


8. "How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero?" - Kick-Ass/Dave Lizewski

6. "He should call himself 'Ass-Kicked' instead..." - Big Daddy/Damon MacCready


5. ''So you wanna play?" - Hit Girl/Mindy MacCready

On Kick-Ass and Hit Girl...

Kick-Ass/Dave Lizewski
- Dave is like some average kid who loves comics, and has a hard time attracting girls, especially his crush and love interest Katie Deauxma. However, he wondered: "How come nobody gets to be a superhero?" So, he had an idea, bought a scuba suit, and became Kick-Ass. At first, it was difficult for him to fight crime, considering that he got stabbed and ran over by a car. However, he was able to learn from that mistake and soon developed to improve himself as a superhero. When he had that chance to save the day, he became an Internet phenomenon, and thus, a superhero. While he has his very own chance of fame as a real superhero, he will soon get involved in a super mess, when he meets father-daughter duo Big Daddy and Hit Girl. During and after a series of events that happened to Dave, he questions that has he been a superhero and realized he did. Even though he didn't do well or didn't kill as much bad guys as Hit Girl, in the end, he was able to achieve something. He was able to inspire many people who become superheroes. He still lived up to the expectations of comic book readers and movie viewers everywhere. Now that is an achievement to look by.

I can't fly... but I can KICK your ASS.

(my first movie review)

Imagine living in a world full of real life superheroes, roaming the streets wearing costumes fighting crime. That is what I visualize and what I really love watched the 2010 action hit movie "Kick-Ass". It's got real and total gut-busting action that will literally blow you away. It is based on the comic book of the same name created by Mark Millar about a teen who became a real life crime-fighter. Now this film had hit the box office charts with its blockbusting action and special effects, an all-star cast that includes the famous Nicholas Cage, which in my opinion, is his best role yet. The movie had scored a whopping $106 million in the box office as well as many awards.
