My Take Radio

Oh no, here we go with another comic book movie. Wait a minute, it’s not about any estab­lished Mar­vel or DC char­ac­ter and it is not a remake (about the first no-remake this year); maybe this one has hope. In fact, it has way more than hope—Kick-Ass does exactly what its title sug­gests. The premise is beyond sim­ple: just about every kid pre­tended to be a super­hero as a kid and plenty of adults wish they could do some­thing about the things they see on the news and in the streets. Kick-Ass is about an ordi­nary high school kid who has no spe­cial pow­ers and has no money for cool Bat­man gad­gets who decides to make a dif­fer­ence. By him­self he is not going to accom­plish much and he real­ized that: enter Red Mist, Big Daddy and Hit Girl, who round out our cast of vig­i­lantes. Obvi­ously I am going to tell you why, but you need to see this flick. You shouldn’t even be read­ing this…you should be out watch­ing this movie—go…NOW!
