Kick-Ass the movie

<< < (7/13) > >>

patrickl:
Entertaining movie, but what was supposed to be so great about it?

I'd say 7/10.

Ginsu Victim:
That reminds me, I never rated it here:
10/10

Ginsu Victim:
Judging by his attitude on twitter and the way his entire review was written, the one star was meant to anger the fanboys.

It has 76% on Rottentomatoes and has an 8.4/10 on IMDb (in 124th place in the Top 250).

Loafmeister:
The subject matter limits mass acceptance so I don't think they ever thought they'd get huge numbers.  Add the bad trailer and you get the box office numbers.  This is Lionsgate though, I like that they take risks where other studios don't  but jeez I wish they'd pay the right people to do better trailers.

In saying that, this is a type of movie that should do VERY well on DVD/Bluray and I suspect this will generate enough profit to warrant a sequel. I know after the first weekend, there was discussion there would be one but the numbers fell so sharply you have to think they'll wait for the DVD/BR sales to determine their next step.  This does have cult following written all over it.

Note that they are doing a sequel for the comic, that's a done thing.

patrickl:
I felt the concept was funny, but the movie never really was. Think the only time I laughed was during his first attempt at crime fighting. The last half hour or so was actually bordering on annoying.
