The Losers Reviewed

Review of The Losers available here.

So I lied when I said I’d say more about Kick-Ass! To make it up to you, let’s go out to dinner sometime. Just you and me, internet. Then I’ll not only tell you all the extras about Kick-Ass, I’ll tell you that although The Losers was deeply, deeply derivative, and could easily have been D material, they brought enough newness to the characters (and by “they” I’m including the overqualified cast) to make it less of a been-there suckfest and more of a fleetingly entertaining 90ish minutes that is nevertheless hilariously misguided if it thinks it’s going to make a franchise out of this and the sequel they’ve set up.

Upcoming later in the week: James Gunn’s Slither! Here’s a preview. I liked it!
