Try-hard dross topped such mundane Hollywood humour.

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2019)

This is another one of those movies that try to be fresh in its genre (which it does achieve) but try exceptionally hard to sound witty and unfunny (which it didn't achieve) and instead end up being downright annoying. Sure there are parts that I really enjoyed, but with the amount of hype this had, I expected it to be the movie of the century. Try Kick-Ass if you want an actual laugh out loud experience. This "Oooh I'm different from all superheroes because I'm arrogant and funny and quick witted" character didn't work and it's not because I didn't get or get offended by the humour. Sometimes it was funny and cool, but 9/10 the jokes just made me roll my eyes. Nice try though. Oh and it is incredibly violent throughout for your average superhero viewing so be warned. I'm not sure if that made me like or hate the movie more, it was just an added feature that did nothing to fuel a reaction from me.
