One of the funniest superhero movies just landed on BBC iPlayer

KickAss

Chloë Grace Moretz must be channelling her inner Hit Girl right now, her excellent Amazon Prime Video series The Peripheral has unfortunately been cancelled. In better news, her breakthrough role (as the foul-mouthed Hit Girl) is now available to everyone with a TV license with Kick-Ass now on BBC iPlayer. That means you don't even need to subscribe the one of the best streaming services.

Matthew Vaughn's 2010 take on the superhero genre looks even more unique in the face of the current Marvel overload and it is still laugh-out-loud funny. You see, Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) doesn't have any powers or martial arts training, after an accident his nerve endings are a bit shot (increasing his threshold for pain) but that's it. He's just a teenage boy and a very awkward one at that.
