[Helvete]

[Dorothy Wood]

as an educator, I find this quite distressing. :(

[Helvete]

Yes, yes it would.

Anime. This is freaking just like the anime shows. But American. No wonder it has some corny elements haha:D

It's a comic book adaption.

Just so you know, it's the guy in green that's Kick-Ass.

It's a comic book adaption.


But seriously though, I'd never thought to see the day that a small girl would be as cool as John Woo character.

[BBboy20]

Ugh, glitchy double posting.

Gotta love the unintentional puns you say for this comic book/movie.

[kaiser soze]

This will be more enjoyable than SM3, both the Punishers, both Hulks, Superman Returns, Batman Begins, and yes the Star Wars Prequels.

:D finally a movie for us.

So I thought this movie was freakin awesome. I think nerdy, comic book, action lovin, vulgar/perverse humor fans will enjoy it greatly.

But there is a LOT of hubbub now considering that an 11-year old girl is cursing, violent, and experiencing violence directed at her. I'm talking almost Tarantino level violence and blood in this movie. A lot of people don't like seeing an 11-year old amongst such things, even as a movie/actress, and are distressed.

Considering that it's R-rated, I think there won't be any young kids watching it (at least I freakin hope not, if parents are taking their young kid to a R-rated film, well, I don't think I need to say that doing so is ridiculous).

I don't think this is a spoiler, but just in case, I'll say spoiler:

In addition, there is a character in the film that speaks out against Hit Girl involvement in fighting crime, saying that it's wrong for her not to have a childhood and put her in danger. Although, that sentiment is not a huge focal point.

I have a little brother around Hit Girl's age but it's a movie, so it doesn't bother me. It doesn't make me mad or upset me. I am going to remind my parents that the movie is rated R and that my brother shouldn't see it for several years as it's inappropriate for his age. Then I read this article (http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2010/04/09/kick-ass-hit-girl/) which interviewed the actress who plays Hit-Girl and it seems discussing the role with her parents helps give perspective and she also seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

That's my lengthy 2 cents.

I am suddenly very interested in this movie. For some reason I thought it was going to be a kids movie like that one about the high school for super heroes.

[The Notorious LOL]

The kids in The Goonies were foul mouthed little bastards and that was targeted towards children whereas this isnt.

Macaulay Culkin played a murderer in The Good Son before his voice had changed.

Its not like child actors saying or doing "adult" things this is some new thing.

[hpdrifter]

Did anyone see Role Models? The little kid in that swore like a freaking sailor and made tons of explicit sex jokes.

[The Notorious LOL]

that kid ruled. Shit, the kids on The Wire sell drugs and shoot people.

[hpdrifter]

Is it because it's a little girl?

I gotta say, there's a part of me that is into the idea of a little girl takin care of bidness. Not a day goes by I don't see a news story about one going missing and being found dead. It weighs on a body.

Yeah, I didn't know anything about it and got that same impression from the brief edited for TV previews I saw. But then I got a free screening pass so I went and was FLOORED! I loved it so much.

I totally agree. People are FREAKING out though it seems because of the violence level/blood. It's graphic, definitely. I think they forget though that the violence is so high it's as if it's a comic book and *gasp* that's what the hell it's based on.

I just didn't get the hubub/outcry so I posted here to see if anyone feels the way those people do, so maybe they could explain their perspective.

[Helvete]

I am in the movies right now waiting for it to start. Nothing better to do tonight and I have a free pass so nothing to lose. I think I will enjoy it anyway.
