Kick-Ass

Hope this is a case where the movie transcends the source material.

I hope the movie is good too but im a little unsure as far as the casting goes. I just don't see mclovin as red mist. he seems way to awkward and goofy to be this big bad guy at the end (spoiler) and Nick cage really has me scratching my head. But who knows ive heard some good things and im hoping for the best.

You really should wrap that in spoiler tags in case someone comes in here that hasn't read the book.

McLovin as Red Mist baffles me too, but whatever. We only know him as McLovin, but "laid back stoner type" isn't much more difficult to pull off than gangly nerd.

Well, poor Mr. Cage needs a hit so he can reclaim some of his castles that have been repossessed.

I quite liked this movie.

Whatever expectations the trailer set in your mind, the movie meets them pretty much exactly. I've only read the first two issues of the comic, so I can't really draw many comparisons between the two, but there are quite a few differences from everything I've heard. The movie seems less concerned about shitting on comic book fans for starters. And the McLovin guy is definitely more of a nerd than a stoner.

Yeah who knows it could turn out to be the next big thing. And sorry for the spoilers.

So I was able to see the movie, in the theaters, and not pay. My conclusion the movie was good, but made me angry at times. I feel like I only would be willing to pay for it if it was at cheap seats theaters, but as it stands, bazooka's do not work like that, and that single moment followed up with the flying across the city, ruined the movie for me. I already have an idea for the next movie, Hit girl wants to try out for some sport (wrestling, football) and the district wont let her, so she kills all her oppose her in the school administration. Pulling Kick-Ass out of retirement and it ends with the principal beating Hit Girl, and Kick-Ass having to sum up the courage to physically assault this individual for no apparent reason, that is when the helicopter with midget's show up and start to shoot the place up. Hit Girl wakes up to the sound of gunshot's and then engages in a hilarious fight with a group of midges in a school where everything is SO much larger then them. Red Mist show's up and idk.... has a flamethrower and starts the building on fire, but little dose the audience know that he welded all the doors of the school shut hour's prior, and then after a daring rescue/firefighting scene, the city counsel has an emergency vote to allow her to play on these male dominated sports, after the law? is voted down the real villain all along begins a monologue explaining how everyone that Hit Girl and Kick-Ass has just killed where pawn's, the then steps out of the shadow's a reveals a tella-tubby.

Great film for what it is, but there are missing key twists, which I reserve as putting this title as an alternate reality to the comic book.

Finally, Nicholas Cage did well in the role!
