Kicks A**!

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2007)

This film could have been a mess like Spiderman 3 but Tim Story deftly navigates the multiple stories quickly and efficiently from scene to scene. It was in danger of becoming fairly complicated if adhered to strictly ala the Comic Books. What Story did was balance out the film time, budgetary pressures, target audience attention, Studio hidden pressures, etc etc and at times perhaps TOO quickly rocket from scene to scene; but you know what - this movie works. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a movie about fictional Superheroes - not real life heroes like Gandhi, Mandela, etc which would require detailed analysis and depth. This movie gives us what we expect and demand. Namely, a Summer blockbuster which zips past joyously quickly at just over 90 minutes - without so much as pausing for breath! Perfect.
Bring on FF3!
