They weren't kidding when they said this was violent! And it's violent children on top of that. It's definitely a funny movie, not afraid to poke fun at other films or at itself, but it's also disturbing. Chloe Moretz must have been, what, 12 in this film? Such things should not be coming out of that young a child's mouth (and I worked in a middle school). I'm not a Nicolas Cage fan in any circumstance, so he wasn't a big addition for me. Overall, fun, but just meh.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
You didn't get a grin from Cage doing his best Adam West impression? Word is he came up the idea to do lines like that on his own, and didn't even tell the director what he was up to.
ReplyDeleteI truly despise this movie, not just because of the kids or the violence but because outside of that it is lazy and uninspired and can't be bothered to be nearly half as clever as it really should be.
ReplyDeleteIt was enjoyable, with some great action sequences, and funny moments of dialogue, but it starts to dive into the generic plot of what all superhero films are.
ReplyDeleteJust like any comic book movie, the book is better.
