These Are Some KICK-ASS Character Posters
It certainly doesn’t bother me that a film gets marketed by way of character posters, if A) those character posters are both sweet-looking and even the slightest bit innovative and B) if those posters meld together like Voltron and create one, massively epic banner. Thus is the case with KICK-ASS, the latest comic book adaptation from Mark Millar and directed by Matthew Vaughn. The come to us today, courtesy of IGN.
Check ‘em all out in glorious ginormity:
What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Does it hurt to tell you that one of these character is being played by Nicolas Cage? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the Red Mist.
KICK-ASS hits theaters on April 16th, 2010.

Where and when are going to get some?
It’s a damn shame then that this meticulously crafted, psychedelic visual-journey isn’t matched with a screenplay that was given just as much effort. The inbuilt metaphors of the Alice tale are still there however writer Linda Woolverton adds very little in the way of character development or plot undercurrents, seemingly intent on relying on the visual effects wizards and actors to contribute the extra layers. Her biggest missed opportunity is further exploration into the Mad Hatter or even the White Queen – both of whom are half-baked caricatures – with the Hatter coming off as a mere chance for Depp to be quirky, rather than the cleverly-written character with an interesting back story that he should have been. To Woolverton’s credit though, she did manage to concoct some deliriously amusing dialogue for the Hatter and the Red Queen; a small highlight of her script which partially redeems her lack-lustre attempts elsewhere.
