Nerdgasm! ....if your into that sorta thing.
C+ or a B-. I don't know. Underwelmed definitley. Like most instances, the book is better. If you put it in, I wouldn't tell you not to, but I wouldn't suggest to watch it. This movie doesn't have the same punch that the source material has, and without it you have to ask why make the movie then? Everything ends up okay, and the ending is too over the top for someone like me to enjoy it. I knew there would be changes, but the changes I saw made the story pointless and lost the same ferver I had for the book. I couldn't wait to read each issue, but with this movie the story didn't keep me wanting to find out what happens next. If this had been a TV mini-series I would have stopped caring about it half way through. I would eventually want to finish it, but I would probably save it for when I didn't have anything else left to watch. There were some great camera shots and funny moments like the comic book scene. I was entertained, but I am one who asks for more than just entertainment. I walked out of the theater very apathetic. Dissappointed, especially after watching a film like Defendor the same week. I would suggest to read the book and watch Defendor instead.
Pass on Kick-Ass.
