Shall I have feelings, or should I pretend to be cool? Will I seem hopelessly square if I find “Kick-Ass” morally reprehensible and will I appear to have missed the point? Let’s say you’re a big fan of the original comic book, and you think the movie does it justice. You know what? You inhabit a world I am so very not interested in.
— Roger Ebert’s introduction to his negative Kick-Ass review. While a majority of the internet has cried foul for daring to not like this movie, it’s good to hear from a critic what he did not enjoy. Especially compared to someone saying said critic is wrong by comparing Kick-Ass to the director’s cut of Payback in the first run-on sentence/paragraph.
