Kick-Ass

By the sounds of it, there's been a bit of moral panic / general wowser-ish controversy about this film, but for me, the main point is that Kick-Ass is hella entertaining. The action scenes are kinetic and exciting (and completely over the top), the characters kind of thin but vividly drawn, the story economical and pacy, the mood surprisingly deep and at times dark; it plays like a comic book, not least in its knowingness...much fun.
