Kicking' It

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2019)

I really thought I'd like this movie more. I'd heard great things from enough people, superhero movies are my jam, especially when they take a different angle on the genre and the premise of this one is definitely fun.
It just didn't quite land for me. That and the end really dragged me down. The world had been set up as pretty normal, seemingly, until the end when they introduce something that is completely world breaking to me. That and Cage's character came off as a lot creepy to me. Important to note, I thought Cage was actually pretty good and played exactly what he was meant to, his performance was great but the character itself is just a bit ew. I can only hear him being called Big Daddy by a little girl so many times before it's just weird.
Anyhow, still an entertaining movie, it just shoots itself in the foot a bit, preventing it from being great.
