MY REVIEW:
I want to start with review with:

Dear Wes Craven-
     Why on earth did you let this happen?
            Love, Me.

My second letter would be as follows:

Dear New Line Cinema-
     Why would you not try to get Wes Craven for the remake of his movie? Maybe even Renny Harlin? This felt more like an international remake from Slovenia not a US Homage. Insert sad face here.

This was a pathetic excuse for a remake. Why on earth would you replace Robert Englund? He IS Freddy Kreuger. I could not let that go for this movie.

This film is light on the character development and heavy handed on the loud sound effects and extreme special effects.

Kick-Ass

STORYLINE
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decided to become a super hero, even through he has no powers, training, or meaningful reason to do so.

MY REVIEW:
I absolutely loved this movie. I had a sneaking suspicion that it was going to suck, so I made sure to get popcorn and snacks to keep myself occupied when I got bored. WoW! Was I surprised. This was one of the funniest and entertaining super-hero-type movies I've seen in a while. It was new and interesting and a story that wasn't overly told!

You actually had a director, Matthew Vaughn, who cared enough to make it amazing! There was character development, plot lines and cohesive movement throughout.

I appreciate a good comic-book geek just as much as the next fan girl. This one made me feel okay about that! I loved the characters and actor choices to play them. It is bloody and violent, but that's all in the name of the game!

Great Job!
