Could Have Been So Much Better

I rate this film 2 1/2 stars because there are flashes of the brilliance it could have been. Kick-Ass starts to approach true themes of super hero morality and then, abruptly, it abandons them for more nihilistic violence. It's certainly an entertaining film and, at times, very satirical and funny, but it could have been a much more fascinating thematic exploration. Matthew Vaughn is, of course, a master of style and the film definitely doesn't disappoint in the visual department.
