Review
I saw the previews for this and thought this was going to be one of those slapstick stupid comedy movies (Superbad Super Hero Movie). I came on IMDb and saw the rating and the reviews and I thought I'd reconsider after doing some research on this. I was very wrong with my initial assessment. Yes there's some teen comedic elements to this movie but the movie flowed perfectly. Great Soundtrack great fight scenes acting was good story was great and original. With a current IMDb rating of 8.3 as I write this look's like I'm not alone on how I rated this movie. Show stealer was definitely Hit Girl. I foresee her having a huge career. Possibly the next Natalie Portman. Reminded me of Natalie's role in Leon. Which leads me to my next point. Unless you're into comic books video games in your teens20's30's and don't have a young kid you might be taken aback that a little 11 year old girl is killing people and using bad words. For those that gave this a bad review because of that do some research on a movie before you go see something that you think you won't like. I hate musicals and I'm not going to pay 10 bucks to see High School Musical and then come in here and complain that there was too much singing and dancing. It's clearly geared at a older teenyoung adult audience and is rated R what did you expect. In closing one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen.
