"Yeah. We're superheroes. You love us."

Looks awesome. I'm looking forward to this more than Iron Man 2.

 

[Hyperspace05]

A much better trailer... Less HitGirl = much better.

 

[Technobuilder]

This film looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Are you mad? Hit Girl looks to be the best part of Kick-Ass.

 

[Hyperspace05]

No I am not mad. Quite sane, in fact. I elaborated why I (as a father) think the concept of HitGirl is deeply troubling and disturbing in an earlier thread, but I do not wish to bring up the same discussion here.

 

[Kegg]

I like the disturbing and troubling aspect but she could stand to be funnier.

That said JacksonArcher is right, she does seem to be the best thing going for this film (though judging from the trailers there's not a lot. This looks like it sounded great on paper but lost something in the execution.)

 

[Trekker4747]

How is Michael Sera not in this movie?



Looks pretty good.

 

[exodus]

Looks like it might be the SuperBad for the Super hero film goer.

Even though having Nick Cage in it gives me pause.(That man is the kiss of death)
I think it could be a surprise success, if the best parts aren't just in the trailer.

 

[Trekker4747]

Cage has his moments, from some of the other trailers it looks like in this movie it'll be one of them.

 

[exodus]

^^I hope so, according to him. He needs the money.

BTW, what's the objection to Hitgirl?

The poster in that line of discussion has a problem with a girl the same age as his own daughter out doing things little girls shouldn't be doing. (Staying at home playing Barbie.)

He also made a, decent, point that she seems to have "super natural" abilities in the film where the context is that super-human powers don't exsist. He remarks, for example, that she reloads the clips in her guns mid-air (Mythbusters, test this!) and easily dodges bullets. Things she shouldn't be able to do without some super-natural element exsists. Which, again, if a fair enough point. I may argue that it is possilbe that sequence is a dream or fantasy sequence and if not it's still a movie so with a shrug I say "So what? It looks like fun. No one's suggesting that 13 year-old girls should be running around dodging bullets and gunning down bad guys."

I just have one answer to that: Spykids.

 

[iguana_tonante]

I was laughing the entire trailer. Awesome.

 

[Broccoli]

The more I see, the more I can't wait for this movie.

As for Hit Girl...while there are not "super powers" in this movie, it doesn't make it any less a fantasy. The idea behind her is that she's been trained from birth pretty much to be this total survivalist/combatant. Humor comes from the unexpected. This is unexpected.

Looking at it from another angle...look at the Nolan Batman films. It takes a "realistic" tone in regards to superpowers and what not (ie. there are none), but look at all the fantastical elements in those movies, yet no one really complains about it.

How is Michael Sera not in this movie?

Because he is a terrible actor who doesn't know how to do anything beyond awkward. Btw, it's Cera.

 

[JacksonArcher]

Michael Cera also stars in another comic-book related property called Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) which I am really looking forward to.

 

[milo bloom]

That looks pretty fun actually, and I'm lol @ the Michael Cera comments above cause they're all true.

 

[Broccoli]

You know, I loved Michael Cera in Arrested Development, and, like all the actors on that show, hoped that he would go out and have a successful career. However, after seeing him in a few other things (where all he did was play George-Michael again and again and again...), and subsequently get a slightly big ego (in regards to the proposed Arrested Development movie [which I have to admit, I'm not overly keen on, but that is no reason for how he was acting]), I have kinda turned on him.

With the Scott Pilgram movie (judging by the little I know about the comic), he appears to be playing a George Michael-type role yet again. I would love for him to spread his wings as an actor, beyond playing the whole awkward, insecure geeky teenager.

I agree he acts the same way in every movie that he does, however he has built a rather successful career out of that persona, so more power to him. He doesn't seem so egotistical to me. He was on Late Night with David Letterman a while ago and he commented on his 'acting range' and submitted a clip from La Femme Nikita as an example of his range, which showed some humility on his part.

 

[Broccoli]

Maybe it is just the way he comes off in print, but he had a "I'm better than that now" attitude when discussing at potential Arrested Development film.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

This actually looks pretty good.
