Overall, it's a fun movie

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2015)

I've only ever reviewed one movie on IMDb but after seeing this movie I just had to talk about it. I'm a film maker myself. It's my dream to become a famous film director working on superhero movies for all ages in Hollywood. But of course there are kinds of films I don't like. I tend to faint to the sight of gore and this movie had quite a lot in it.
The trailer for this movie is what got my hyped. It looked so badass and fun. It was also a very interesting idea of a movie to me and the trailer music was fantastic. So today I saw it with a few friends and I did have to leave at one point because I felt a bit light headed. I knew the director of this movie directed Kick-Ass and I know what's in that movie so I expected the violence but I read reviews before I saw it everyone says the violence is terrible CGI and I do kind of agree but it's action violence so in a way they make it look fun but the slow motion violence and the points where they take it too far just made me light headed. The kinds of films I do not like are ones with an overload of violence shoved in our faces, constant teenage swearing and deaths that are just so blunt and cold. Lots of movies made like that get the high ratings these days and I really don't understand how people can love a movie with that stuff. If they say they love it cos it's realistic then I think to myself "My life isn't like this. I don't have sex with people I met a few minutes ago, I don't kill people brutally with sword legs, I don't swear in practically every sentence. How is that kind of stuff loved so much?!"
But anyway, on to the aspects I liked. I really loved the whole idea of a secret service of spies fighting for their country, I loved the fighting techniques (without the ones that result in blood parades) but most of all I loved the cinematography, editing of shots, weapons, costumes and score. I really think that if this got rid of most of swearing to just allow the same amount of profanity in Marvel movies, the blunt deaths, cold people and actually showing the gory violence than I would have rated this movie a 9 or 10. I just think not shoving the violence in our faces and instead suggesting the violence and letting it happen off camera but we still know what has been done like Alfred Hitchcock did in his violent scenes in his films then it would have been much more powerful in my opinion. I would have also preferred the excessive violence that went to far to remain out of the movie. I have a feeling people will call me a sook or a baby or something because I'm not a fan of gut fests so please note this is just my opinion.
Overall, it's a fun movie and I think I will see it again when it comes out on DVD. 7/10
