Haha! Wow.

Can't wait.

Caught this at an advance screening last night and can wholeheartedly say it was the most fun I've had with Superheroes since 'The Incredibles'. Violent, funny and very wrong with some killer action sequences. This one is going to be a massive hit.

Wait,you mean to tell me parents, educators, family fundamentalists haven't already begun protesting the living daylights out of this movie?? Isn't this the first time we've had a movie about a child violently blowing the heads off of people? I actually had the sound down cuz of my girlfriend doing homework, so maybe the protagonist explains how she's really a 29-year-old midget.

The gun-in-the-mouth scene was schweet. Her pulling the trigger was nothing more than pure gold.

Robocop 2. Maybe the kid didn't do that, exactly. But he was packing and was part of a drug ring. (Robocop 2 is a sweet, guilty pleasure for the insane violence in it.)

Here's a question for the group: last week, a buddy of mine gave me a compilation of issues 1 through 8. Should I read it first, or see the movie first? I never heard of either one until about 2 weeks ago.

I just picked up the trade and read it last week. Just about everything in the trailer is in the book so it looks to be pretty close, for better or worse.

You can go either way, really.

You can go either way, really.

Not me, brother -- I like girls.

he does shoot robocop in the face.

And Lester, you ought to watch City of God. There is a whole lot of little kids blowing off people's faces in that movie.

So yeah...it kicks ass.

[HellboyOne]

Oh yeah...City of God. And that has NO laughs.

I enjoyed the hell out of Kick Ass. I did not and do not enjoy stupid parents taking their kids to these movies.

[Doh]

I saw the movie today and just finished the comic and enjoyed them both. The antics of Hit Girl sickened Roger Ebert, but I think in the context of the film, the ultraviolence is just fine. Oddly enough, the same sort of graphic violence felt out of place to me when I saw Watchmen.

It's odd that a defender of cinema (Ebert) now seems to be implying a somewhat direct corrolation between violent movies and school shootings. That makes me sad.
