just saw this movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit. You guys can diss on nicolas cage all you want, but it takes real talent to PRETEND THAT YOU ARE ON FIRE.

I am going to go read the comics now.

that whole ecene with nicolas cage killing all of those people while the 28 days later song plays is pretty awesome.

It was still a tremendous fun movie to watch, don't let the fact that you have also read it ruin it for you. Take it for what it is, a silly comic book movie, and you'll have a fucking blast. This isn't one of those times when people can be like "Ohhhh, they got the wrist part to Iron Man's costume wrong, the movie sucks!" It's just a different situation. My complaints weren't about "ooh, they got his costume wrong!", they're MAJOR FUCKING PLOT POINTS. The best 2 scenes of the entire book aren't in the movie because they changed the plot. If they got NOTHING else right in this movie, I wanted to see the end of issue 7 done well, because it's, by FAR, the best part of this story. And it wasn't even there. Not saying it's a bad movie, but if you were hoping to see the awesomeness of the comic on the screen, you might be disappointed so it's best to view it as a separate entity entirely.

The end of book 7 was just Hit Girl and Kick Ass going to kill the mob boss guy. That seemed like it was in the movie to me.

Personally, and I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for it, I liked the movie better. Especially the way that they changed Big Daddy's back story. I understand that the comic was trying to send a message about normal, every day people doing the superhero thing, and it made sense to have Big Daddy just be a nerdy accountant that sells his comic collection online to afford the lifestyle, but for storytelling purposes I felt his new back story with being a psychotic ex cop hell bent on revenge was more interesting.

I do, however, feel that they fucked up Red Mist. McLovin was a terrible choice, and just turned him into a joke character. I also don't really like any of the redesigned costumes. Hit Girl's in particular. The skirt and purple hair were just too much. I'm not sure why they thought Big Daddy would look good as a Batman cosplayer either. Maybe there's some sort of tribute or something that I'm unaware of, but even having him talk like Adam West was a bit much.

His character in the movie is basically McLovin with a cool car.

I would have liked him to spout the "I've even masturbated to the thought of killing you. is that weird?" line from the comic. It would be so weird coming out of his mouth.

Bringing out the Dead?

Matchstick Men?

8mm?

FACE OFF?!?!?!?

My friend actually hated Nic Cage before seeing this movie. Right after he shot his daughter my friend made a mental note to see more of his films.
