    Kick-Ass will be released on April 16th, 2010, and to help get the word out the band Mika made a music video for one of their songs. I guess I'm out of the loop, but I've never heard of this band in my life.

    Kick ass is the story of an average kid named Dave Lizewski, who with no powers and no training decides to put on a mask and become a superhero, but very early on he finds out its not as easy as it seems in the comics.

    Thanks to Agent Buttons to pointing this one out to us. Still not sure about this film? Don't know if it interests you? Check out a trailer and a commercial for the film while you make your final decision.

      
      Now after watching the video, the trailer, and the commercial, does it seem that the Mika song just doesn't fit the film. I don't think "whooping crime fighter butt" and "falsetto dance music" go too well together. It's like putting a BeeGees song in a Terminator film. Well, maybe that's just how I feel.


    What do you guys think? Do you like the music video? Do you think the song fits with the movie? Are you going to see it?

    I think the song adds a new perspective to the movie.
    I know it doesnt really fit the story in terms of the comic, in my opinion, but i have toppped hoping for the movie to completely fit the comic. im just looking for a good motion picture that closely resembles a really bad-ass comic. 
    i feel that the song, in terms of lyrics, is geared more towards a younger audience than big fans of the comic might like, but i personally, am a huge fan of MIKA, and i adore their music. the music video gives me hope that the movie will hold my interest if nothing else, while at the same time, reassures my assumptions that the movie doesn't intend on going anywhere near the strong violence of the comic series.

    Not to mention the other movies he's got planned, it does make you wonder if he just knows these movies will make big bucks because it seems like every time G-Man or one of you guys post something new about the guy, it's either a new comic or a new big movie he's working on, where's he getting all the cash from?

    Mika? 
     
    Really. Wow. Didn't see that coming. 
     
    He is extremely annoying. Not my musical choice AT ALL. I woulda chosen Muse or some other English powerhouse. Maybe even Marina and the Diamonds, but that's a bit out there. 
     
    Not quite as out there as Mika though.

    An odd fit, but perhaps not as much as this.

    MIKA seems like such an innappropriate choice for music, considering his back catalogue. What were they thinkning.
    Meh, what do I care, I'm seeing this for free when it comes out a week or so, ha.

    "Gotham City , city of love. City of Peace. " - STFU, R.Kelly. You obviously don't know any of the source material.

    I was personally hoping for some disturbed or maybe even take a page from iron man's book and go with an older band like maybe KISS?

    This may not be that good but I have seen the movie and it has some really good music in it and it really goes well with the movie.
