Just got done watching the movie.

I really, really enjoyed it. My wife hated it. Way too much violence for her. I thought the violence illustrated a point: that if you don a costume and fight bad guys, expect to end up dead in a very gruesome manner. Kickass didn't find any real success until he hooked up with people that knew what they were doing. The rest of us probably won't be so lucky.

This is the first movie with Nick Cage where I really enjoyed his role, he didn't overact it for once. For the record, Nick Cage is one of the few Hollywood actors whom I generally dislike his movies/roles, but I think he is a way cooler in person (from what I've heard). Yes, his "Batman" voice was to disguise his identity. Everything about his character screamed paranoid over-caution.

I thought the Mindy character was superb. She was really the star of the movie IMO. Where Kickass mostly got lucky in fights and could take punches because of his "condition", that little girl did some really impressive stunts.
