Movie Review: Kick-Ass
Over the last few years, film-goers have had a massive exposure to comic-book culture. The average viewer has become more open-minded when it comes to seeing the next comic related release. The next character to make the leap to the big screen is Mark Miller's Kick-Ass and ComicsOnline was invited to a private screening of this upcoming release in San Diego. It is easily one of the most over the top, violent, profane and exhilarating comic-book movies ever. This is no Dark Knight and it sure isn't Iron-Man. Kick-Ass is something entirely new and different…and could easily be one of the best movies of the year!
Now you might be asking yourself, who is Kick-Ass and why should I go see a movie about him?
