Cage (or Coppola).\u00a0 Being a big gear head as well, the role of\u00a0<em>Ghost Rider\u00a0<\/em>was easily something that he was all over as well.\u00a0 But Big Daddy &#8211; I&#8217;ll go as far as to say that I kind of liked him in this role.\u00a0 Sure, it&#8217;s kind of a Batman rip, but more entertainingly sadistic.\u00a0 Combined with his interactions with daughter Hit-Girl, and we have here is easily the most captivating characters in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>Take Hit-Girl and Big Daddy out of the flick, and Kick-Ass probably would have sucked.\u00a0 The other characters seen in the commercials, Kick-Ass and Red Mist are both pretty lame otherwise, regardless of the stories behind them.\u00a0 Both of them were typical nerd-core loser dork characters that are supposed to resonate with us other dorks with our esoteric humor, references and inside jokes that only we&#8217;re supposed to get.\u00a0 I think I&#8217;m getting a little tired of seeing McLovin in all these nerdy flicks.<\/p>\n<p>But overall, I was pleased with the movie.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t realize that it was an R-rated movie until I got to the theater, so that created a little bit of promise.\u00a0 But all that meant was that there was a lot of F-bombs, and a lot of bloody violence &#8211; no tits, despite the fact that tease twice in the movie with a hot, cougar-y teacher with magnificent jugs, as well as the obligatory love interest that is one of those strange Miley Cyrus\/Hilary Duff hybrid lookalikes that are cropping up all over Hollywood these days.\u00a0 But tits does a movie make not, and when I was leaving the theater, I was pleased<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overall, I was pleased with\u00a0Kick-Ass.\u00a0 Surprisingly violent and gory, and expectedly nerd-awkward at times.\u00a0 But I guess my expectations for this movie were a little higher than I had hoped for.\u00a0 Or maybe the story wasn&#8217;t quite as what I had expected it to be.\u00a0 When I left the theater, all I really had were &hellip;
