An average high school student decides to become a super hero, which results in him ending up temporarily crippled. When he recovers he decides to give being a hero another try. He ends up getting a video posted on YouTube and becomes a celebrity.
Soon the mob comes after him along with a couple other heros, Big Daddy and Hit Girl, an 11-year-old girl. These two operate on a different plane than Kick-Ass, leaving their foes in pools of blood. They team up to take on the mafia.
I am fan of the comic this movie is based from and I think that hindered my overall enjoyment of this flick. The entire final act of the film is vastly different from the comic, much more Hollywood. I will save anybody who reads this from a nerdy rant about the differences between the movie and its source material. My girlfriend enjoyed it a lot more than I did, but she didn't read the books.

6/10
