A review of Kick-Ass by the Daily Mail:

This article is the perfect example of why I don't read tabloids. :rolleyes:

I'm sure anyone that has seen the movie will agree that it's not to be taken seriously. And I know it's a fcuking tabloid but come on! Are the mentally challenged hacks that write this stuff so devoid of humour and common sense that they feel the need to engage in fear mongering?

It's the Daily Mail, they're hardly going to pass up an opportunity like this.

Biggins

Its a tabloid newspaper - if it's bland, they wouldn't have anything to give out about.
As the saying goes, a paper don't refuse ink.

spudmonkey17

I know it's a tabloid but I think even this is a bit much? And I fail to see what they gain from writing such sh1te? As if people didn't have a low enough opinion of The Daily Mail as it is...

Well Hermione is hot, maybe that's it

It's on of the worst attempts at a review or journalism I've ever seen.

"She's fetishised in precisely the same way as Angelina Jolie in the Lara Croft movies, and Halle Berry in Catwoman.

As if that isn't exploitative enough, she's also shown in a classic schoolgirl pose, in a short plaid-skirt with her hair in bunches, but carrying a big gun."

I think the writer saw in what he wanted to see in the film, the sick bastard.

andy winter

Was in two minds if I should go watch this movie....

after reading the Dail Mail 'review' I can't wait to see it!!

I just glanced through the website there. I always thought that all of these Daily Mail jibes were exaggerated (but not unwarranted).

Then I found this.

They actually do write the sh!t that they are being accused of writing, regularly.

(I've never read the Daily Mail so I wasn't aware)

yeah saw that, brilliant, i think this review will make more people want to see it now

OutlawPete

The people behind this grotesque glorification of prematurely sexualised, callously violent children know full well that they are going to make a lot of money, and they'll get an easy ride from the vast majority of reviewers..

What kind of monster deliberately uses a sexual phrase like "They'll get an easy ride.." just 17 words from the word "Children".

Is this the world we are living in now, where sick bastard journalists can slip sexual innuendos into sentences that also mention children??

What's next? Child Porn in the cinema??

It needs to stop, boycott the Daily Mail until these fuckers do some hard time.

It seems that sometimes we can not prevent it, but to bear?

Well, if you want to see what all the fuss is about, the Boards film club is headed to see Kick Ass this day next week. Check it out.

All these people meeting up from Boards, and no murderers or mass sodomy yet....

I have to say I'm suprised.

WTF - that is baffling, how could they possibly explain that one.

TheReverend

NothingMan

It deliberately sells a perniciously sexualised view of children and glorifies violence, especially knife and gun crime, in a way that makes it one of the most deeply cynical, shamelessly irresponsible films ever.

How can a film critic fail to understand the entire point of a fictitious, tongue in cheek comic book movie. Now if the end credits finished with "Based on a true story" then maybe he'd have a point. But just because he feels uncomfortable about his own sexual urges towards an 11 year old assassin he projects his sick mentality onto the film makers.

'The ideal Daily Mail story leaves the reader hating somebody or something.'

The movie "Kick-Ass" promotes pedophilia and child abuse...

Deadly! I'm going to it tonight.

I love how they give it a verdict of Evil.



They should go further with that though.


"In terms of Evil this film gets 7 Hitlers out of 10"

I loved how they managed to throw in a Jonathan Ross mention :rolleyes:

Seriously, if it was co-written by anyone who was not related to Ross in any way at all, thye wouldn't have been that bothered about it.

Ideally, it should leave them hating Paul Dacre, Daily Mail editor, & the fact that they buy the Daily Mail.

gbee

Weird mindset from that writer ... unless it is true, and I don't know and don't have an opinion yet ... I'd be seriously worried about the mental health of that writer.

And if true, then it's totally irresponsible to publish such a leading article as the writer surely must know it will attract every P in the country now.

An arrestable offence IMO. If the writer truly thought this, he should have campaigned for the banning of the movie by bringing his concerns to the relevant authorities.

He got it right - their own reporters/newspaper!

I think its a class movie.. my friends though it was "a bit too far removed from reality" or something like that .. still worth seeing though and the kid sniper is cool:D cant see how it would promote pedophilia any more than any other move with young kids

Nope - NEVER said either, thank you very much! Please once again, don't put words in my mouth.

I mentioned that some of those there are ok as reporters (having spoken to them and done a bit for the paper myself) but given the nature of tabloid industry, the stuff that management wants is often not what the public would actual like more of, believe it or not.
There are indeed also idiots that write daft garbage like the Kick-ass article. Their paper career will only go as far as the heights of the tabloids and no further.

The Mail, Sun, Mirror, Star etc by their nature tends to shorten, skip whole facts, make too quick assumptions and tend to pander to those that have only ten minutes at times to catch a quick read.
While nothing wrong in that in itself if you want a quick read - and tabloids do actually produce some good stuff occasionally when the editors allow it, some of the articles also tend to be directed towards the brain dead who want their minds made up for them.

I think the Kick-ass write-up is that type of material.

Its better to ignore the Daily Mail most of the time. I really think they must be taking the piss the whole time, surely no one can really be that deluded.

dsmythy

Well unless it somehow encourages lads to wait on 'hot' 11 year old girls to reach the end of consent I think the world might just stay in one piece.

RayM

Millions are being spent to persuade you that Kick-Ass is harmless, comic-book entertainment suitable for 15-year-olds.

Won't somebody please think of the 15-year-olds?

Pyridine

Went to see it last night and have to say I really enjoyed it!! I didn't come out a peodo just in case anyone was wondering!

Millions are being spent to persuade you that Kick-Ass is harmless, comic-book entertainment suitable for 15-year-olds.

The English are so backward....have they never heard of a 16's cert!!!

Remember that the Daily Mail is a paper who damned the film Antichrist and within the article admitted to having never seen the film but read about it online. An actual journalist would have at least gone to the trouble of viewing the film before forming an opinion but at the Mail all you need is a hint of online/tabloid hysteria to garner a damning news piece.

ejmaztec

The Daily Mail don't like the fillyum (as some of us say in Kerry), because they hate the BBC - Jonathan Ross - and all the other Rosses by association. When they stick the knife in, they keep on twisting.
