Yes, I know it’s been a while since Kick-Ass played the theaters. But I only just caught it on Blu-Ray, and it lead me to think long and hard about superhero movies — thoughts which I felt worth sharing with you. Here’s why I didn’t like Kick-Ass and why I generally don’t like Superhero movies

Hmmm. Except for the fact that your main vigilante here is a lil' girl,...you really just have another "death wish"/"Rambo" action-revenge flick. The main moral lesson here, being that there really isn't one. I think this film has more in common with "Die Hard" than "Spiderman". Its a catharsis flick with a large dose of humor and its plays with the basic "comic" tropes,....thats just about all thats there. But it is well done. ( AND FUN !)
