Pretty good, but not *that* good

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2010)

The thing is, I have a problem when KICK-ASS scores 8.2 on IMDb and SUPERBAD scores 7.8 ...
The fact is that SUPERBAD is better written, better directed and better acted. Maybe KICK-ASS contains scenes that viewers here liked better. But I can't shake the feeling that KICK-ASS's high rating is a result of the all the comic-book's fans voting it high.
That said, I really enjoyed KICK-ASS. It's a well put-together, entertaining movie. Good enough to make me pick up the graphic novel.
But I think comic book movies have still got a little way to go before they catch up with movies created from the ground up by other movie makers.
