Kick Ass is garbage.  The only cool thing in Kick Ass is inappropriate, and that is Hit Girl, the killer child.  She is the entire movie, and kick ass himself is a whimpering, masturbating, pointless waste of space.  For a moment he gets the limp notion of standing up against evil, but he does it, well, limply.

The only truth in the movie (spoiler follows) is when Hit Girl says, “If not for you my father would not be dead.”  Too true.  And as soon as the movie ends, we see kick ass having quit his fight, making out with a girl, and still leaving the meting out of justice to a now orphaned and unmasked hit girl.

Pathetic fare for pathetic, irresponsible Americans.  The movie is superficially cool and fundamentally boring, trite, and insignificant save its violation of decency in exploiting children.  Why can’t they just stop wasting everyones time and make a movie of Transmetropolitan, the only good graphic novel ever.
