You go into the theatre thinking this is going to be a funny flick about nerds, a little like 'Superbad' (after all,  it does have McLovin in it) then all of a sudden Hit-Girl slices a guys leg off and the movie really starts to...well...kick ass!

Based on the hyper violent comics by Mark Millar, the story follows a New York teenager who decides to don a superhero costume and fight crime. Directed by Matthew Vaughn ('Layer Cake') the film has already been one of the surprise hits of 2010.
