Surprising and perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2011)

Before i saw this movie, i had heard that it was simply a gory teenage action flick. Usually I'm cool with that so i decided that it would be fun. Plus, who doesn't like the loser turned awesome story? As iwatched this film it reminded me of one person: Quentin Tarantino. The score was perfect given the circumstances in a twisted way, the gore and action was over stylized as if it was to look unreal, the story was offbeat and fun and definitely clever. I've been a big fan of the works of Tarantino, and watching this movie made me realize what it would be like if i watched a superhero movie done by him.
The acting in this movie was very solid. Nicholas Cage temporarily got out of his "dud after dud" funk with a solid performance, Mclovin did his dorky thing, and Aaron Johnson shows a very promising future with his role. The real star of this film, however, is Chloe Grace Mortez. Although her performance was dubbed "inappropriate", i can't help but think Hollywood needs to lighten up and realize a fantastic performance when it is given!
To sum this film up, i can only say one thing that will apply to everyone, whether you take it positively or negatively: You will never look at a Superhero movie the same ever again.
