Are we supposed to believe the uncontrollable gushing coming out of Austin, Texas in regards to
Matthew Vaughn's
Kick-Ass (
Lionsgate, 04.16.10)? The comic-book action-comedy, complete with (mostly) powerless characters has just reached out and sucker-punched the journalists in attendance at Friday night's festival opener.
Devin Faraci at
CHUD gave the film a
perfect score, while
Variety's
Joe Leydon (
"audacious dark comedy") and
Hollywood Reporter's
John DeFore (
"funny, unexpectedly violent") both sung its praises in the trades.
Honestly, this sounds like the same hoopla we heard over
Sam Raimi's
Drag Me to Hell, which I ultimately saw and despised. The geek-house genre films certainly can rile some feathers.
This is really a chore to sit through. Saw it at an Atlanta screening and couldn't even be bothered to wrote about it. Terrible.
