How Kick Ass does Kick-Ass look?
(5 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)Part of me is worried that stylistically it seems to have more in common with Sky High than with Wanted. The swan-diving superhero at the beginning is a good sign that they didn’t COMPLETELY kidify the story to make it not only palatable to the teens and tweens who will inevitably want to see a movie about a 15 year old who dons a suit to fight crime, but also acceptable to their parents who would have a problem with an 11 year-old hit girl going all Kill Bill on a group of Mafiosos (hence they aged her).

Kick-Ass is a great supposedly monthly comic (although I have some problems with the unnecessary hate speech that writer Mark Millar puts in his hero’s mouth), but it was seriously harmed by scheduling issues (took 18 months to publish 8 issues). A pivotal part of the plot was revealed early… at the time the casting for Red Mist was revealed, the character was described as the son of a Mafia don even though he hadn’t even been introduced yet – completely spoiling that characters eventual betrayal. The concluding eighth issue of Kick-Ass is due in December so perhaps we’ll see a resolution to the story before the movie comes out.

Having read the comics and loved how gory they were….this seems a little too homogenized. I just don’t seeing this doing well at the box office. When will hollywood stop dumbing down everything cool?!?!?!
