22 - Kick-Ass Review (2010)

Well, we've all done it havent we? Wondered about why no one has ever decided to become a real-life superhero to fight crime and help people! No? Well after reading Batman: Year One a young Mark Millar and friends were wondering this and years later he created his character and story Kick-Ass to explore what might happen if someone did. Despite the fact the comic book only hit the shelves in 2008 the movie rights were snapped up quickly and brought to the screen by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, who weve discussed previously with Kingsman. The violent nature of the movie coupled with some colourful language from a young Chloë Grace Moretz led to some negative reviews, but generally was a critical and commercial success. But what did our hosts make of it?
