Haunted Flower's Review of Kick-Ass

Good review.

Couldn't really get into this review as it took so long to buffer and kept stuttering, so I gave up on it.

However...

I saw this film last night with some friends and can't remember the last time I left a cinema grinning so broadly.
I suppose I can see why there's an emphasis on THAT line of dialogue, but there are so many quotable lines in this film, and it's just a wonderful film on so many levels.
There are so many references to Marvel and DC characters it's a fan-boy's wet dream. There are direct nods to the first Spidey film (rooftop sequence, and the house he lives in looks very much like Aunt May's) and Nic Cage's Adam West-as-Batman line delivery when in costume, is both right on the money and truly hilarious.
The fight scenes are delivered efficiently and with a huge amount of style - something Zac Snyder ought to look at and digest - and this is only Vaughn's third film as Director.
The story races along, the characters are well realised and the belly laughs come fast and furious. There may be a lot of bad language, but at it's heart I found it to be quite a sweet and very human story.

Now to continue my rant from yesterday:


Tea@: So this film is talking half the money at the box-office that Clash of the Titans is.
By my reckoning that means that Kick-Ass will make more percentage profit owing to the fact that COTT cost around 200 million dollar$ and there's no way Kick-Ass cost 100million to make.

Word of mouth is going to mean that when this comes out on DVD & Blu-Ray, the percentage profit will increase further, while that of COTT might not be as impressive, at least relatively, owing to the drubbing it's been getting from reviewers and audiences alike.

People will go and see Kick-Ass and buy it on DVD. People will go and see COTT and wish they hadn't bothered.

Kick-Ass will win this battle.

Noooice:) Very well thought out, in depth review. Clash isn't even a boil on Kick Ass's...ass!
