Kick-Ass (2010)

#122 (I think...I suck at keeping track now) I am pretty sure I was supposed to like this movie. It looked so good to me when I saw the previews and I had every intention of seeing it at the theater when it was out but I never got around to it.  I finally watched it on Netflix a few nights ago, and I was very underimpressed. It could be that I am just over the whole comic book/super hero movie genre. I haven't loved one in awhile (wait...I did, but I haven't written that review yet) but I had high hopes for this one.  I didn't like it. I barely made it through the movie. In fact, I had to watch it over the course of two nights, because I started it a bit late, and then got bored and quit, deciding to suck it up and finish it because my husband watched the whole thing and enjoyed it.  I thought that both Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz (who I really adore) did a great job. I just couldn't get into the movie.  I think I am also having a hard time tolerating Nicholas Cage lately.  His character in this did nothing to improve my opinion of him. I thought it was longer than it needed to be, and I enjoyed very little of it.  Just not my thing.
