HA! The Daily Mail vindt Kick-Ass "Evil"

In een review die alleen omschreven kan worden als fucking hilarious heeft de Britse krant The Daily Mail Kick-Ass één van vijf sterren gegeven en als eindoordeel "evil" opgeschreven. Classic.

In de review wordt gerefereerd naar geweldverheerlijking en kinderporno...

It deliberately sells a perniciously sexualised view of children and glorifies violence, especially knife and gun crime, in a way that makes it one of the most deeply cynical, shamelessly irresponsible films ever.

The movie’s writers want us to see Hit-Girl not only as cool, but also sexy, like an even younger version of the baby- faced Oriental assassin in Tarantino’s Kill Bill 1. Paedophiles are going to adore her.

Crazy. Maar nog leuker dan de review zijn de comments, waarin de schrijver -- die duidelijk niet snapt dat de film is gebaseerd op een comic die met een grote korrel zout genomen moet worden -- met de grond gelijk wordt gemaakt.

Oh get over yourself! Seriously. My 64 year old mother went to see Kick Ass and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was, as she said, the first film in ages that she hasn’t fallen asleep in. She didn’t find the language as shocking as she expected and said that although it was violent that it was clear that it was comic book style. She found it ‘thoroughly entertaining’ and good fun. And, no, in her former life she was not a superhero, spy, criminal or film maker.

Best article i’ve read in years! Laugh? I almost wet myself! Dear god, if there’s ever an example of a reviewer with an agenda this is it!

I watched this last night and it was one of the most consistently thrilling and entertaining fims i’ve seen in a long time.

You might want to look at some other reviews which are almost without exception positive and consider who’s right and who’s wrong about this? A wise man once said “even in a minority of one the truth is still the truth”. In this case the reviewer appears to be in such a minority however he is also dead wrong!
