One off those movies you can watch over and over again...

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2010)

I just watched this with my 15 year old daughter for the second time. This movie is just pure fun, excellent pacing and the soundtrack is exceptional.
For all you naysayers, this is just pure entertainment. I am not one for excessive violence but the violence is just so beyond the realm of reality that it is funny, as it should be. Do I cover my eyes for the worst scenarios? Of course I do! I really didn't want to see the bad guy get nuked.
I do have an issue with gratuitous violence in movies such as "Natural Born Killers" which was mentioned in other reviews. I found that film quite disturbing because the good are corrupt and the bad get away with everything. It has a completely different atmosphere compared to this film which is just plain fun and in the end good wins over evil.
I do agree that it would have been possible to make this movie just as effective without as much graphic violence but I'm not willing to pan it because of that. Hit Girl has her head square on her shoulders! (as does my daughter, which is why she could watch it without any undue distress) This movie is in the league of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"....one of those gems that you can watch over and over again as the years pass... It will always make you laugh out loud no matter how many times you've seen it.
