Kick***

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Listen to that song again. It's an amped up version of the theme to "The Banana Splits"!!!

I watched it Friday night.

I really loved it and I will buy the DVD. It's a keeper!

I am reluctant to give away any spoilers on this so I will just say, for those who have seen it, .....how about the scene where Hit Girl bails Kick-*** out for the first time??!!!! The song was so damned cooool and his absolute horror at what he was witnessing was priceless!!! I watched that scene THREE times before continuing with the movie. It was part Tarantino (without the dialog) and part Itchy and Scratchy. Brilliant!!!!!!!

Just saw it...and I thought it was "bloody" great...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Watched this last night, and I liked it a LOT more than I expected. Despite it's over-the-top violence and language, it has a lot of heart. I was really invested in the characters. I agree with Scott about the exploration of the psycho Batman thing. Here are the logical extensions of a "real world" Batman and Robin. I know Hit Girl goes around smoking people, but I think it does prove that a young Robin could work in movies.

Cage's Adam West had me rolling on the couch. Great stuff. I think this is the best movie he's made in a LONG time.

This is the first thing I've seen Mark Strong in, that I can think of. I think he will be great as Sinestro.

Too bad this is so similar, the kid that played Kick-Arse would make a great Spider-Man.

Great flick. Go rent it!

I just saw the pirated DVD of this movie and it really kicks ***!!! The first movie on the DVD was Ironman II and it was OK, then I saw this one and I LOVE it!!! It is one of my favorite movies now and can't wait to buy it!!

*Comic Book Spoiler*



I do appreciate the fact that they changed a couple of the aspects of the story to make it more palatable to a mainstream audience.

Originally it was revealed that Big Daddy was as big a fanboy as KickAss and the rest, and had just made up the ex-Cop/murdered wife thing because he's a ****** who wanted to be Batman.

KickAss also didn't get the girl because she actually had a realistic reaction to him totally lying to her the entire time about being Gay and stalking her.

While that kind of twist works in playing against the form of the comic and reader expectations, I think for the movie version the audience needed something to root for in the end.

It was such an interesting exploration of the psychotic Batman model. You are simultaneously repulsed and rooting for this nut who turns a little girl into a ruthless killer. Weird. The Kick *** character was great as the moral center of the movie.

Finally made it out to see this. Loved it more than expected. Nick Cage is really putting his weirdness to work. Hit Girl is the best super hero character in a long time.

Indeed she is she'd beat the tar out of Robin......

Best use of Bazooka ever.

Wow, just saw it. Fantastically fun, and I even teared up a bit at a certain key part. Great, great stuff. Very disappointed that it hasn't caught on at the box office. Just goes to show me that my tastes often diverge from the general public.

But this movie is a must-buy for me. Plus they showed a trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and I'm all ready to see that too.
