It looks pretty kick-ass. I can't wait to see it.
If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

I want to see this but will probably have to wait for a bit. I'm glad to see that so many people liked it because it looks quite funny.

Best movie so far this year.

Nicholas Cage is awesome, especially when he goes into Adam West mode.

It's a good movie. Most of the best parts were in the many trailers they released though. So, I'd imagine the movie would be better if you haven't seen those already.

Hmm, the movie is out down here now I think, and I haven't seen a single trailer or even heard of it barring one poster and one massassi thread.

Definitely a great movie, it never strays from the fact that it's an action comedy and a parody of comic book heroes. The action scenes (as well as the cinematography in general) are great as expected from the trailers. One of the things this movie does right as oppose to recent movies such as Clash of the Titans is the fact that it actually has character development. You actually give a damn about the characters and that keeps you engaged throughout the film's plot.

The great casting helps too. Like some people have mentioned, Nicolas Cage's impression of Adam West's Batman is awesome. You can really tell that Cage loved the role base on his performance. Then again, it is kind of expected since Cage is a big comic book geek. He named his son Ka-El and tried to audition for the role of Superman in the past. Additionally, he did publish his own comic books too.

Chloe also really stands out as Hit-Girl for obvious (controversial) reasons. This movie will definitely help launch her career more by securing her more mature roles. She's slated to be in the American remake of Let the Right One In.

I find it amusing that some of my audience was laughing when she said the infamous "c" word and started slaughtering people. However when Lindsy Fonseca (Katie) covered her bare breasts in a scene, I heard a couple of gasps. I forgotten how dangerous bare breasts can be even when it's covered by a 23 years-old.

Aaron Johnson puts on a much more convincing American accent compared to someone like say, Sam Worthington. He definitely plays out his "I'm an average loser" well, but what do you expect from McLoving. By the way, did you realize he's engaged to a 43 years-old woman even though he's only 19? She is already pregnant too, yeah.....

Do I really need to mention Mark Strong? The guy always play a great villain much like Gary Oldeman. Come to think of it, I would like to see the two of them together in a movie as villains.

8.5/10
Definitely worth your time and money.

haha, yea, I just saw something about him knocking up that 43 year old women .... Kick ass!

Been out for a couple weeks now and I've still not got anyone to go see it with. :(
nope.

Absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately, the other people in the theater with us were not laughing. :huh:

Go watch it alone. I watch movies alone probably 93% of the time.

I think I might go see it alone this week.

My house has been invaded by annoying women. I will take any excuse to get out of the house, even if it means seeing a movie alone.

I used to watch movies alone all the time when I worked at the movie theater. I've only seen 2 movies since I left the job, though. Inglorious Basterds and Avatar. I think I'm going to make Kick Ass number 3 for sure.

I'm in the habit of taking the time to watch movies alone. Usually about two minutes.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.
2010-04-18, 8:32 PM #20
Oh, yes, kroko, I do that as well. It takes longer than 2 minutes, though. I usually spend at least a half hour trying to find a movie that I want to watch. After that I only watch for about two minutes, though.

My wife and I saw it tonight. We both thought it was amusing, but mostly it was dumb. It would make a good Netflix movie in 8 months.

The single best scene in the entire movie was, without a doubt, the scene featuring the Ennio Morricone score.

It was the "For a Few Dollars More" theme.

I've never gone to the cinema on my own in my life. :v:
nope.
2010-04-19, 8:33 AM #25
I've been to the cinema alone once.
It was to see Sweeney Todd.
I was living alone having just moved to a new city, didn't have any friends yet, but I just had to see that movie.

I've been meaning to see a film alone sometime, I think it'd be fun, never done it before.

I saw the Kronos Quartet last Wednesday, alone, I wouldn't have rather had anyone else there by any means. It was so great to be able to focus solely on the performance, and not feel compelled to chat between pieces.
2010-04-19, 9:19 AM #27
I see films alone all the time. It's not like you are going to talk to the person/people you see a movie with anyways, so I don't see why it's a huge deal to go alone.

It's about having company and someone to talk to after the film.

I enjoy talking about the film directly after seeing it, while it's still fresh in my mind and the mind of the people I'm talking to.

Plus, it just feels weird going alone.

It's not that weird, trust me. The only time you might feel weird is if you go to a theater full of parents and kids, but the feeling pretty much rubs away once the movie starts. Heck, I even eat alone at restaurants sometimes.
2010-04-19, 5:26 PM #31
That's only acceptable when it isn't brunch.
nope.
2010-04-19, 5:28 PM #32
I've gone to restaurants and movies alone many times. Most of the people I know make me want to pull my ****ing hair out, so it's really my only option.
