As will I.

I've heard it's "despicable filth" and 'all the more fun because of it'. :D

(Paraphrasing from something I saw on Melon Farmers).

Oh and Total Film gave it 4/5. :)

i read the comics and it felt like it was made purely to be adapted to a film and make money and that fact was always prevalent and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
If its anything like the comic expect things like beheadings and use of words like cunt purely because its a no-no word situation, not because its got any merit to it in the scene.

*sighs at hellsing*

Anyway, only the first two issues of the comic had been written when the movie started getting worked on, and indeed they ended up all working as a group - Millar, Vaughn and Goldman.

Vaughn couldn't find funding anywhere in Hollywood, and ended up financing it independently with his own money as well as various famous backers with fat wallets (such as Brad Pitt, if memory serves) and gathered $50m to make it ... there was then an absolute bidding war after a preview scene did extremely well with an audience.

It's not supposed to be Watchmen ... hell, this is a comic from the same guy who had people bending bullets in Wanted ... and it's called "Kick Ass", for crying out loud.

They should have named the film "Sucks Ass".

Also found out my mates cousin used to go out with Aaron Johnson when he lived here (locally)... Can't believe now, at the age of 20, he engaged to a 43yr old who expecting his first kid!

Glad you dug it, Neil.

I absolutely loved it (will blog about it later sometime). I thought the action sequences in the second half were really well put together - brutal, tense, tightly edited, well choreographed, entertaining and even shocking.

Plus that Lyndsay Fonseca is a bit of alright. ;)
