Not going to change the face of film making

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2010)

This is not a bad movie by any means. It is an OK movie that I thoroughly enjoyed, but it will not change the face of film making. There was nothing remarkable about the film. The only scene that I thought was original was the one scene where where Big Daddy's back story is fleshed out. I like how it became a comic book itself and somehow was able to maintain the pseudo realistic tone of the film, while providing an over the top comic book back story for one of the characters. It was funny. The action was fun. The story aspect that allowed Hit Girl to attack the end guy was pretty well done, but for the most part I do not see what all the hype it. I enjoyed it, but as a movie it was only OK. The story was predictable and the trailer attempted to steer you in one direction it really did not pan out to have any engaging twists. Plus the "hero" gets the girl stuff really annoyed me. I thought it was silly and they attempted to build up to it but it was still a silly moment. Oh well. Fun to watch, but I will not shout it praises at the top of a mountain.
