Why Do You Think They're Called "Comic" Books?

Rating: 3/10 (13 March 2014)

Now, here's a seriously screwy superhero movie that definitely had its head right up its ass. I think that a more appropriate title for this utter nonsense would've been "Stupid-Ass".
It really made very little sense to me why Dave Lizewski felt that he had to literally play out his little, comic-book fantasy in real-life. By becoming a superhero (who, by the way, possessed not a single super-power), was he really so frickin' deluded and beyond common-sense thinking that he couldn't see the incredibly dangerous mission that he was about to embark on (even after he had been stabbed and beaten)?
Like, was little Davie Lizewski's life really so unsatisfactory that he felt the need to draw this sort of screwy attention to himself? Wasn't ejaculating into countless tissues enough to fulfill his superhero wet-dreams?
If Lizewski was really so hell-bent on bringing the bad guys to justice, wouldn't it have been so much more easier and a heck of a lot less life-threatening just to have called 911 on his cel and then let the cops handle the hardcore stuff?
And, speaking about that dynamic-duo of Big Daddy & Hit Girl - Like, what sort of a totally demented message was that business sending out to parents and their kids?
So, here we have a seriously fukked-up father who trains his 11-year-old daughter to be an utterly ruthless, insensitive, foul-mouthed killing machine. And never once do the questions of morals, or ethics, or common-sense thinking ever enter into the horridly violent actions of the bitchy, purple-haired Hit Girl.
(And the father is never in the least bit concerned about his daughter's safety. And the daughter never questions herself or her father about what she is doing)
I personally viewed Hit Girl, and her blasé attitude towards what she was doing, as being worse than the most vicious bully on Earth. But, because she was looked upon as a "crimefighter" (self-appointed and self-righteously sitting on the side of the law) her savage, bloody murders were deemed as "OK".
Yes. I do realize that this picture was, indeed, a "Comedy". But, from where I was sitting, I found its humour-factor to be extremely callous and cold-blooded in nature. This film, pretty much, amounted to being nothing but a one-note joke that literally stretched the point of its "jesting" to the absolute limit. And because of that, this film just couldn't sustain the insane momentum that it was creating and so it snapped under its own unbearable weight.
And, finally - What struck me as very puzzling about this picture was that (due to its graphic, over-the-top violence and its non-stop use of profanity) it was a film clearly meant for an "over 18" audience. And, yet, in spite of that, I found its basic story-line was, without question, geared to an age group that fell significantly below the age of 18.
Yes. Very odd. Indeed!
