An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, it took me a while to get into the damned thing. First of all, with 'Kick-Ass', we already had a dark comedy about a major loser trying to become a super-hero and this movie didn't seem to provide any new or interesting ideas about the genre. Furthermore, it was rather ridiculous to try to make us believe that a girl looking like Liv Tyler would end up with such a pathetic loser, even if she was a recovering addict. Fortunately, the whole thing got much better as soon as Ellen Page got really involved. To be honest, it still rather sad that Page seems to be stuck playing Juno over and over again but I have to admit that her character pretty much saved this movie. Indeed, from the moment she decided to join the Crimson Bolt in his demented crusade, the whole thing then became so much more messed up and also way more intriguing. In the contrary to 'Kick-Ass' which made the whole concept look really cool, in this case, they displayed how completely misguided and deranged it actually is. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
