Kick-Ass (2010)

Aaron Johnson plays a high school comic book geek who becomes a superhero vigilante, with Nicholas Cage and his daughter Chloe Moretz as his mentors. He's soon in over his head after running afoul with a violent mobster (Mark Strong) and his teenage son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). This was so juvenile I couldn't believe my eyes. Violent in a really unpleasant way (ten-year-old Moretz, among other things, guts a hooker), and about as stupid as can be, with a running time at least thirty minutes too long. Despite a scene where Nicholas Cage is burned alive, this was hard to sit through.
