Kick-Ass (MC: 66, RT: 76%)

[Lee]

Great movie. Best I've seen since the Dark Knight.

[Correction]

This movie was spectacular. I went back and read the comic and I don't really mind the changes made to characters, given just how much fun I had watching the movie anyway. It took me back to my very early childhood, when I used to throw my GI Joes into styrofoam cup fortresses. Just something ridiculous and violent and silly, very well balanced and paced. I could watch this twice in theaters.

[Elcura]

Yep they are both remixed; I appreciated the "Kick Ass" versions more myself. The OST doesn't feature any of those tracks, mostly songs from "popular" music.

Yeah, I definitely liked the Kick Ass versions more. Both tracks have a sense of desperation (especially Surface of the Sun), which I think worked well in the scenes they were used in. Besides that, a little throw back to John Murphy is always nice.

Pretty cool movie, would see it again. Btw, is there a reason why they used that one song from 28 Weeks Later?

Cause it's a good song? I doubt there was any good reason for it...

Movie scores are constantly recycled. Only "reason" would be is that it's an excellent track that suited the scenario.

[Deftscythe]

While we're talking about songs, does anyone know the name of the one that played during Big Daddy's warehouse scene? Inb4 "that's the one we've been talking about" heh.

[Elcura]

I think it was one of the songs we were talking about, lol. In the House in a Heartbeat.

[Arvin]

what a fucking awesome movie

[Odesseiron]

Just got back from this. Aside from the obnoxious prick in front of us that laughed really loudly at literally everything, was an amazing moviegoing experience. I have zero complaints about the movie. Good pacing, perfect amount of action/drama/comedy. Definitely would see again!

Cage was funny as hell in this, his acting was so campy. (Purposely) I really liked all the characters. A++++

so many favorite moments, but I think one of the top was

Spoiler: show

when they're watching the feed through the teddy bear and Big Daddy comes in and rapes. That shit was fantastic.

Just contact the mayor's office, he has a light he shines in the sky, in the shape of a giant cock

Yeah that was great (the spoiler)

Spoiler: show

I don't typically get any chills during movies but that scene and the warehouse where he's being burnt alive/hit-girl is saving them did it for me. That shit was so good.

I for one, forgive Cage for all the shitty movies/acting he has done because of this performance.

Was the best fucking scene in the movie. The light made everything just work so well. I hate Cage as much as the next guy, and while this doesn't absolve him, he didn't ruin the movie for me like I thought he would.

Makes the performance that much better imo.

Caught onto that right away. Perfect for the role and dead-on.

And thanks, Elcura, for the answer about the song.

[Ker]

Just got back. I had low expectations but was utterly blown away.Will definitely buy on BD.

Thumbs up

People with high expectations were blown away, you must have been utterly destroyed.

[blindSharingan]

I just saw it. I thought it was pretty good. Some of the changes didn't quite fit for me. I didn't really hate them though.

One thing I didn't like

Spoiler: show

the jetpack

Agreed. It was a little too much like batman for my taste.

Also, in love with hitgirl. 10/10 for the movie, though. Battle loli's make everything better.

[Krandor]

About the jetpack

Comic + Movie spoiler, if you haven't partaken in one or the other.

Spoiler: show

Definitely would have preferred the flamethrower and Hit-girl calling the gangsters guinea fucks while high on cocaine, but you can't win them all. I was fine with most of the changes but I really wish they had led that whole scene as it was in the comics, though the bazooka was a nice touch.

[Kaslo]

Spoiler: show

I totally forgot about the cocaine... fuck them for leaving that out!
