Watched this tonight, having heard sod all about it. I was massively surprised - it's bloody brilliant. The actors playing Kick Ass and Hit Girl were both superb. A solid 9/10 from this viewer.
Like i said it should have been named HIT GIRL.... http://www.fightbeat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40303
Thought it was just awful. Couldn't make up its' mind over whether it was a comedy or a drama, & never finally put its foot in one camp or the other, spluttering all the way. The worst part was that I really thought it would be a weak film, but when it came out, it had so much positive press, I caved --- only to be taught a lesson in trusting my instincts.
That was part of the appeal for me - it didn't fit into one category perfectly. Also, it was brilliantly shot by Matthew Vaughan.
