Awesome superhero movie in a different way

I was very excited to see this movie and I was lucky that I was invited to a screening of the movie. If I have to describe the movie in one word: awesome. Not only because of the story, the action and the soundtrack, but also because the genre of super movie took another direction and instead of focusing on adult superheroes like Batman, Spiderman etcetera, you've got now the young and cool Kick-Ass (played by Aaron Johnson) even without any special powers! Now I forgot one thing: the acting. That was excellent, and especially Strong and Chloe Moretz delivered a good job. To keep it brief: go and see the movie next year in cinemas!
