[quote name="fabio"]Even though this movie got <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=super2011.htm">utterly destroyed</a> in theaters, it still did a better job of the same story than the dumb overrated <i>Kick Ass</i>. Probably because Ellen Page was 23 and couldn't possibly compete with jailbait Chloe Moretz and <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=157844">the hijacking of modern nerd culture by pedophiles</a>. So it takes the premise of what would really happen if someone tried to be a superhero by recreating Taxi Driver. I admire the movie for going the hard R route with unflinching violence (how the hell was Kick Ass not PG13?) but it's just too rough. It doesn't flow and feels like a first draft. You get to see Rainn Wilson realistically caving skulls in with a wrench plus some tentacle rape channel surfing and Kevin Bacon having a good time. That's about it.[/quote]
