Sam and I went to see this flick today and it was KICK ASS! We loved it! It had great characters, a very good story and tons of great action. The first 10 minutes were a bit awkward as it was all about tissue and lotion....(GET IT?) The movie is after all about teenagers and all the problems that go along with it.
Dave (Kick ass) narrates most of the movie which gives it depth and movement. As the ball gets rolling, we find that it's not all about him.
I think HIT GIRL is the best and my favorite character. She is trippy, honest and quite violent. Maybe in need of some proper manners? She wields a butterfly knife better then Bruce lee! Scary. She does however take a beating in one scene that really disturbs me. And when she comes to the rescue of her father, it's a blood bath by an 11 year old girl who knows how to quickly drop the bad guys. It made me twitch a bit and brought me back to the days of Lara Croft. Except Hit Girl was brain washed by her father, an ex cop, into hating these men and wanting them all dead for killing the mother she never knew.
There were tons of funny pubescent, goofy moment's and a lot of fighting and the occasional tragedy. All in all, I really liked this movie and would go and see it again. Even the music was a bit twisted! As was Big Daddy. It was definitely entertaining! The story is nothing what you think and as the movie unravels you realize you are in for something of a different ride!
You will recognize most of the generic bad guys. They seem to show up in all these movies. The only one I did not see was Danny Trejilo!
Based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr
Rated R for all the obvious reasons.
