Re: Nicolas Cage shoots a girl in the chest (Kick-Ass Movie)
I'd have to reread the book (since all I really remember well is the last issue) but I don't think it was a comedy. It was gritty, violent, and (at times comically) absurd. The movie made the costumes much more vibrant and kid friendly looking, was more upbeat, and removed a lot of the humanity and realism. Those aspects with the violence (which really wasn't that bad other than maybe the microwave scene) does seem like a PG-13 superhero movie that goes too far. Again, I just really wish they included Hit-Girl's comic book ending. We never really leave the fantastical world of the superhero at the end of the movie. Stays too upbeat and happy after all the death.
