Not sure if anyone here has read the comics that they've turned into a motion picture.
The plot of Kick-Ass concerns a lonely teenage boy, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to become a real-life superhero after being inspired by the heroes of comic-books. He soon encounters a mysterious vigilante called Big-Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz), who are working to bring down the drug baron Frank D'Amico.
The first issue Dave ends up in the hospital for a couple of months after getting beaten to a pulp and stabbed numerous times by some gangsters he attempted to stop. Just to give you an idea of what separates this from other stories where everyone attempts to be a hero and no one gets hurt. EVERYONE gets seriously hurt at one point or another and some die in order to showcase just how real things can get.
I'm a big fan of most of Mark Millars work and this is no exception.
All the feedback for the movie is looking great and I can't wait to finally watch it. The first trailer does it no justice from what I've heard but here's a scene where Big Daddy (Cage) is training his daughter from a young age.
