I was very wrong. Yes, "Kick Ass" is a little corny and kind of "cute" but at the appropriate moments. This comic book extract is more dark than stupid-funny if you do not laugh at fictional misfortune like I do. By that I mean there are a lot more serious moments that drew me into the story rather than just being entertained.<br /><br />It does take a short time to develop, but not too long, and I was never bored. Note that my girlfriend would disagree - she went to the bedroom to watch Law & Order or NCIS reruns eleven minutes into the movie.<br /><br />I do agree with Manuel in that "Kick Ass" is a hard R. If you firmly believe that you cannot get past violence and adult language from what looks to be a girl not yet an adolescent, this movie is not for you.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750432710466587991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-58495957346463442302010-07-28T09:40:37.962-07:002010-07-28T09:40:37.962-07:00I did enjoy "Ironman 2", great to see ma...I did enjoy "Ironman 2", great to see many of the same characters who were in the first one. For me, though, "Ironman" will be my favorite of the two. I liked the whole invention of his suit and his escape, etc. of the first.<br /><br />With the Twilight movie, I wish they had put in other scenes from the book. It would be a much longer movie, though.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-34908792556551279142010-07-28T09:23:05.713-07:002010-07-28T09:23:05.713-07:00Ah, forgot to add Kick Ass to my queue.

I have never been a comic book reader but I have enjoyed every one of the movies I have seen that are based on a comic book or comic book series.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750432710466587991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-50243173973315411152010-07-27T20:06:18.915-07:002010-07-27T20:06:18.915-07:00I'm not sure if I put Kick Ass on my Netflix l...I'm not sure if I put Kick Ass on my Netflix list but will definitely go look right now. Still haven't seen Iron Man 2 so I have it Netflixed as well - guess I'll go check on that as well. Twilight - well I do like the movies - oh well.

I like chick flicks but usually wait until they come out on cable unless Debbi wants to get the DVD. "The deaths," and Carrie Fisher make it seem that I will want to move this movie a little further up on my queue even if it turns out to be corny.<br /><br />Iron Man 2 is still sitting on my saved list.<br /><br />Anne Rice is as far as I can go with the romantic vampire idea. I do like her books. I am staying away from the Twilight movies and the True Blood series and kind of proud of that. Actually, I prefer Brian Lumley's take on the Wamphyri in his Necroscope and other series.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750432710466587991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-41681612764726373282010-07-27T13:23:57.050-07:002010-07-27T13:23:57.050-07:00I liked Sunshine but the ending was just SO out th...I liked Sunshine but the ending was just SO out there... I felt like it just took me out of the movie. Until the end though, it was awesome.<br /><br />Kick Ass the movie definitely did justice to Kick Ass the comic. <br /><br />I too was happy with Iron Man 2. Robert Downey Jr is just way too cute!Miss Sassy Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669986653956419139noreply@blogger.com
