Movie Review: Kick-Ass (Film)

Kick-Ass
Directed by Matthew Vaughn
Stars Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Cage, Chloe Moretz,
Lyndsy Fonseca and Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Distributed by Lionsgate and Universal Pictures

When I came home last Sunday, I bought a couple of DVDs with Kick-Ass on it. I haven't watched the film before and I knew right away that I had to buy that freaking dvd once I saw the movie logo.

Since this is the film adaptation, the movie pretty much follows the plot of the graphic novel by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr - which is a story of an ordinary guy wanting to be a superhero in the real world and what happens when you mess with thugs, criminals and the Cosa 'Fucking' Nostra (also known as the Mafia)  - except for a couple of tweaks that I thought "enhanced" the whole thing. You just can't go copy the source material in these kinds of adaptations because again - there are some elements in the comic book that would not work in a film. 

So Vaughn focused on the element that the original comic book didn't care much about so his movie would be more effective and cohesive: character development.

Class Begins: X-Men First Class Teaser Trailer

At last, I finally got to see Wesley freakin' Gibson turn into the most powerful telepath in comic book history!

I'm a little bit late on posting this, but better late than never. I have been refreshing my  xmenmovies' facebook page for the whole day to catch the first ever trailer of Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class and I my wait was rewarded. In less than 2 minutes, I was able to see some pretty sick and high-octane badassery that I screamed and screamed like a 7 year old hearing the familiar X-Men cartoon intro. I'm just overreacting, but seriously - the trailer looks pretty good!

The film is set in the 1960s, and will show us the origins of the famous mutant team before they even became the X-Men while focusing on the early friendship and irreconcilable differences between Charles (Xavier) and Erik (Magneto) that eventually led them to create their own respective mutants groups.

Film stars James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), January Jones (Emma Frost), Jason Flemyng (Azazel), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique).
