For some reason, almost simultaneously, three films were shot on the same topic, using extremely similar characters, an idea (if it can be called such), physics and stage implementation. It's "Kick-Ass," "Super" and "Green Hornet." Let it seem extravagant to you, but I write one general review on them, because there is simply nothing to share here. In all three films, they first introduce the character-degenerate: this is, respectively, a teenager-loser, an autistic under 40 and a stupid old kid of a rich dad, then with all three there is an event that pushes them to become superheroes, then they are looking for a way to realize this, but since the physics of their world is close to the real, it is impossible to do this in general, so instead of the characters you get three costumed idiots who try to do heroic deeds, but create instead a fierce lawlessness. Each has his own assistant - respectively, a minor, an older fool and a Chinese, each with his assistant problems. Similarities can be listed endlessly, but the problem is not in them. It's about how mean we're being pushed off the screen. For more than a century, superheroes have been the basis of half of American culture. How could you exorcise what your whole country grew up on? The list of low in these three films is huge: mat, toilet humor, disgusting heroes, an attempt to impose on the viewer a sense of comedy in the presence of an exorbitant level of cruelty, decadence. It's thrash!
I’m not a fan of superheroes, I don’t rate most of their movies above 4 out of 10. But they, damn it, carry the cultural code of America and broadcast some ideals. It’s a good thing in American culture, and I don’t understand why they’re squandering it. In Eurasia, these three films do not add culture. One must understand that cinema is art after all, and one of the tasks of art is to separate the beautiful from the ugly.
P.S. James Gunn is one of the worst directors to ever walk the earth. He is a maniac and a pervert who aims to create the most nauseating vile and harmful films in order to cause the world culture as much damage as he will manage in his lifetime.
