Kick Ass
I saw a movie called Kick-Ass. I liked it. I liked it a lot. When I first saw the preview, I thought it would be a little too cheesy for me. But then I saw some better previews, and they made the movie look better, so I thought I’d give it a shot. And I’m sure glad I did!
The more I think about the movie, the more I like it. In particular, the character called Hit Girl. This little girl kicks ass! And she kicks ass all throughout the film. I had no idea anyone could actually play a bright, happy little killing machine! She’s just moping the floor with bad guys. She is walking, running, jumping, flipping, tiny, cute vengeance who knows how to handle a butterfly knife just as naturally as a .45 silenced semi-auto. If I were to have a daughter, I’d want her to be like Hit Girl.
Big Daddy was pretty cool, too. He had the balls to take down room-fulls of heavily armed baddies, all by himself. He had even bigger balls to raise his daughter to be a tiny, cute, purple-clad killing machine.
I have a bit of respect for the main character of the film, Kick-Ass. He didn’t do much ass-kicking, but he persisted in his foolish hobby, and I have to give him credit for that.
If the makers of Kick-Ass are considering making a sequel, please oh please let it be all about Hit Girl and how she goes about kicking ass all over town. She is, by far, my favorite character. From the way she always seems to be happy while she’s kicking ass, to the shocking words that come out of her small mouth, to the way she cracks her knuckles and grins right before beating up the school bullies. Hit Girl! You kick ass! Don’t ever change!
