Glorified Teenage Psychopath for Those Who Think "if I had the power I would totally KILL PEOPLE SO CASUALLY just like her!"

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2014)

I normally enjoy silly queer fun cartoon movies for the sake of it. And Chloe seems cute, Lindsay Fonseka, yum. Seeing that Nick Cage is involved I turned my expectation down a few notches just so that I won't be disappointed.
And I was still disappointed.
How do I express my utter disgust at the supremely ugly visual, of a young teen - and a female one at that - being systematically groomed by an aging daddy figure into a cold calculating murderer... A little girl who graphically stabs her sharp long phallic appendages into the fleshly bodies of other supposedly criminal hence unpardonable humans. Or subhumans. Daddy will be SO proud. Awwww how adorable.
The world totally need more senselessly-murdering psychopaths! Let's hope all little girls grow up "strong" like this one! Yay!
The spectacle of dehumanization of a cute little girl can be enjoyable for some, I guess. They do that kind of "de-souling" transformation to meak little females in certain fascist camps with great success. Apparently in the 21st century it is becoming cool again.
The more inane wannabe-cool lines she mutters post her casual killing acts, the uglier and less cool she became. Soon after she "came into her stab-happy self" the entertainment stopped for me - here's just Tarantino's glorified murderous sociopaths in hot chick suits transposed into a glorified teenage psychopath, but with even less justification for blood.
Kick Ass is but a "reversed" child snuff porn. And a contrived humorless one too. The way she kills, so casually and so smugly, the way she talks, so smart alec clever and super annoying, a kind of perverted soul-less little sister some lame-ass father or brother would love.
Apparently that's all the movie producers could conjure of What Makes a Little Prepubescent Teenage Girl Interesting. If we can't make her have sex just yet, at least we could make her kill other adults. That would be fun! Girls secretly wish to kill everyone too, guys secretly get a kick out of alpha killer queens, people will love it! So they reckoned...
The little girl is either an object to be raped and killed, or one who castrates and kills. Apparently that is SO COOL.
For me....yawn.
If I had a little sister or a daughter who thinks Chloe's casual-murdering behavior is so cool, or confuses vacuous smugness as profound cleverness, straight to the advanced psychotherapy ward she goes.
1 star for humorless snuff pretending to be cute and heroic. Plus 1 star for art direction efforts.
