What an awful feeling those actors must\’ve had when half their audience walks out on them!

Personally, I thought Kick-ass was average. It had a very well done first 45 minutes or so but once it stopped being about \”A Normal Kid playing superhero\” & became \”Another Goddamn Superhero movie\” the holes started to show. I didn\’t find Chloe Moretz that compelling in the film either. She was a 10 year old girl who had an excellent stunt double & said things like \”fuck\” & \” you\’re a cunt\”. I was a substitute teacher for a year & trust me, go on any school ground in the US & you can hear 10 year olds calling each other \” a fucking cunt\”. So there was zero shock value as far as I was concerned.

I found her performance in LET ME IN to be the real standout in 2010.

Anywho, Hick sounds terrible. There\’s been this weird sexualization of Chloe Moretz (Kickass did have an actor in his 20s saying \”I love her\”) & this sounds like 90 minutes of looking at her in daisy dukes. Shudder.

It\’s funny that the most innocent movie she\’s going to be in this year is a goddamned Scorsese film!

As far as the writing being \”universally praised,\” the guy who wrote that comic is more or less a joke who spends most of his time talking his shit up and making \”what if\” premises.

I\’d rather see leaves rustling and voice over than houndog graphic rape any day. This was at least clever and very well acted.

Did you see people walk out of the movie because that\’s what I\’m reading in some reviews?

Honestly, this review was tame compared to a few I\’ve read ripping Hick to shreds. I feel awful for Moretz and question her reaching her ability unless she makes changes around her which she won\’t.

What a bunch of nonsense.

That was a great movie with a solid script and one that catapulted her into stardom with her surprisingly strong performance. She received rave reviews all across the board. Do your homework better.

\”Kick-Ass\”s script sucked. Period. The dialogue was horrid save for a few scenes. Campy does not equal good no matter what the outcome of the project.

The script sucked? Period?

According to who? Because most people (critics or not) certainly didn\’t feel the same way.

The dialogue was solid for this type of movie and some lines were really great. It wasn\’t exactly campy either.

You\’re pretty much talking nonsense all across the board with this one.

\’You’re confusing action sequences with dialogue\’

Your confusing your stupid assumption with reality. It\’s not. I said dialogues and I was referring to the dialogues. How you got actions scenes out of that is beyond me.

\’If you read the script and actually pay attention to the dialogue (besides saying this such a unique film like OMG they said a funny line) it’s weak as heck. Strip down to it’s dialogue “Kick-Ass” is weak as heck. Period. Any writer would understand this.\’

I\’ve read the script and paid attention to the dialogue on more than one occasion). It\’s good enough for this type of movie. Definitelly not bad. And your opinion is not a fact. Period

\’Actually, I’m not. I never said the film sucked – I said the script sucked. Learn the distinction fanboy.\’

I WAS talking about the script. Learn the distinction before going out and labeling people, idiot.

\’Those last 30-40 minutes were pretty awful, too.\’

That is the best part of the movie

‘You’re confusing action sequences with dialogue’

\”I’ve read the script and paid attention to the dialogue on more than one occasion). It’s good enough for this type of movie. Definitelly not bad. And your opinion is not a fact. Period.\”

You sure you have? But you\’re right, it\’s not a fact, but it still sucks.

\”I WAS talking about the script. Learn the distinction before going out and labeling people, idiot.\”

I\’m rather sure you were wanking off on \”Kick-Ass\” in general even though the writer of this article specifically mentioned the \’shoddy\’ script, not so much the overall movie.

\”Your confusing your stupid assumption with reality. It’s not. I said dialogues and I was referring to the dialogues. How you got actions scenes out of that is beyond me.\”

Like I said \”You\’re confusing action sequences with dialogue.\”

I think it\’s safe to say that Kick-Ass was a fun movie, but at the end it\’s just a highlight reel of stylish gore with a few select quips of cuteness. It ain\’t a Tarantino script. You give me a chunk of \”solid\” dialogue from it to prove your point. 90% of the lines in the movie are trite only to be elevated by the actors. The plot was solid the dialogue sucked.

I didn\’t notice people walking out on Hick. I\’ve been to so many film festivals and that is very common for any film showing. People go in and out. They come late, leave early. I expect it. But this was a big theatre and A LOT of people, so I\’m sure there was a lot of going in and out. That\’s not a sure sign of anything at Toronto or Sundance.

This film Hick still haunts me. It\’s a damn good one. Not for the feint of heart though. It sucks you into a 13 year old girl\’s perspective and you wind up witnessing everything as if you are her. So it\’s darkly funny at times and just frighteningly emotional at others.

Those leaves rustling with that voice going on in her head is a crazy scene that is unforgettable.

this film will split audiences. No doubt. Probably critics too.
