That's disappointing. I was hoping that it would pan out to be more clever than dumb.

Good to know. Kick-Ass looks abysmal and the way you describe it is pretty much what I've been expecting for months.

Kick-Ass is the epitome of dumb, that's all I'll say after watching a screening.

Hey it's a little girl saying c_nt, how hilarious.

Technically, THE LOSERS is based on a DC comic (1970s; rebooted for Vertigo in 2000s), so they have the edge against the A-Team. But I still love you Playlist. (seriously AWESOME site! Best new page discovery of the year)

"The glossy trailer seems to be a pretty obvious hybrid of "Ocean's Eleven" aesthetic style and..."

The trailer even uses a song from the Ocean's 12 soundtrack, David Holmes' "The day of".

I don't understand some of the comments, this movie looks terrible. This is like "The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard" with guns and explosions. I wouldn't it compares to the aesthetic of Ocean's Eleven, this one looks dirtier.

And how can we even question whether'Knockout' will be better than this?

Since the summer movie season now starts in May, it seems like April has become the month for not-quite-big enough, dumb fun with: The Losers, Macgruber, Date Night, Kick Ass, Nightmare on Elm Street, Furry Vengeance, and something called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead.

Right now, I'd probably say I'm most interested in Kick Ass.

"members of a CIA special ops group are betrayed and left for dead and decide to hunt down whoever set them up."

Don't stop at the "A-Team"...change "members" to "member," and it sounds exactly like the plot of Knockout, and a gajillion more upcoming movies, as well. We must now all reap what Bourne sowed...and it will be repetitive.

Oh shit, we're out of touch. We'll close shop soon. A press release is forthcoming.

Playlist is out of touch again.

People are raving about the Wall Street 2 trailer right now. You know, the one Playlist ragged on?

You watch -- they're going to be raving about this one too.

Ah Playlist... so cynical... so bitter...

Did we get a glimpse of the GoldenEye weapon seen in the eponymous James Bond flick?
