So I was lucky enough to be one of the last people in line to be let into an advance screening of "KICK ASS," free of charge of course. Everyone was patted down and had metal detector wand waved over us to make sure no recording, phones were not allowed in the theatre.
This movie is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost didn't make it into the theatre, as it was a packed house, but still got a great seat. My friend, who read comics as a kid but not anymore, enjoyed the hell out of it too.
I will see it again, probably on opening day. No spoilers, but Hit Girl steals the show and Big Daddy, played by Nicholas Cage, is hilarious as a pseudo Batman.
It stayed fairly true to the comic for about the first half, then totally deviates, which is good, because I don't thinking the ending of the comic version would have translated well on film to majority of audiences.
Do yourself a favor and be sure to see this movie. It's hilarious and the violence is so over the top, that it's very entertaining. Definitely deserves the "R" rating.
