Just got back from the latest cinematographic attempt to lure prepubescent males into the theaters and, yes, it was my idea.
About a kid who wants to know why know one actually becomes a super hero, he decides to go for it.
He buys a green and yellow scuba suit and a pair of stick weapons and starts looking for trouble.
And he finds it in spades.
This movie is hilariously funny, wrought with the raunchiness of teen-age boys, blood lust and waves of unexpected violence--so unexpected my friend actually screamed.
The movie's violence and premise is outrageously ingenious and at times almost too horrific to watch. In many ways, the movie reminded me of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill but without the cultural references. Well, I guess it did if you were an adolescent boy.
But no parent in their right mind would let their kid see this. Of course, that's never stopped kids before.
So beware. But also be ready to laugh your ass off.
