Meh. Pretty sick of the whole 'awkward comedy starring mclovin' type of movie. And the premise seems like a comedy version of Watchmen, although that seems like an insult to Watchmen.

I have heard really good things about it from people who have gone to early showings.

The "comics got it wrong you don't need superpowers" bit made me groan. BATMAN. It's not like he's some obscure character that only comics geeks will know. The movie looks somewhat entertaining aside from that. If my friends go I'll go along, but I'm not going to actively seek out this movie.

Purple haired chick is hot.

I think a bunch of kids will end up getting influenced by this movie and end up getting really hurt though.

If you run out and hurt yourself because a movie called "Kick Ass" made you want to fight crime barehanded, you're obviously not particularly bright to begin with. At any age.

So now Elixir has a role in the movie. Surprised he's not fatter though.

Fun trailer, sure it'll be fun to watch.

I don't know where you keep getting this fat stuff from. Is it possible that you were trying to make a joke?

Good point, you already do a good enough job disgracing yourself with pedo appreciative comments :|

Actually I think you were trying to hijack the thread into a discussion about Elixir (okay, well, his weight), Ed.

Anyway yeah Nick Cage is pretty funny, though it looks like they're making up for 70 years of Batman without firearms.

Went to see that shit last night. I hadn't heard of it until my friend called and said, "Hey you're coming to see this movie with us at 9:55."

I thought it was going to be dumb as shit, but I hadn't hung out with any of them in a while, so I was like, ah, what the hell, I never go see movies anymore, much less on opening night.



Long story short:

Favorite movie ever

Ebert gave the movie a bad rating like he originally did with Blue Velvet because HE CARES ABOUT THINGS.

The paid professional movie critics are entitled to their opinion of the latest films...however, it's up to you to view the film and decide if it was well worth your hard-earned cash and a couple hours of your time.

Would've been cool if a major movie studio got comedians Chevy Chase and John Candy together for a "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies" film parody back in the day. Pure comedy gold right there.

D/l'ed the Kick Ass movie trailer off of the USA region PSN site and liked what I saw. Sounds good enough to check it out at the local movie theater indeed.

It was shockingly violent...I wasn't expecting that. All in all it was adolescent mish mish with no story. I give a 2 out of 5 stars.

These snarky teen comedies aren't my flavor. At all.
Instead, might I suggest....
