Unfortunately, its easy to miss this point amongst the rest of the limp plot.
I wish I could say that the other female characters also rose above the banality of the film.
(To be fair Mother Russia was enjoyably terrifying, even in her decidedly absurd bikini.)
At first, I cringed at the films ending as Hit-Girl kisses Taylor-Johnsons Kick-Ass.
Why cant they just be friends?!
If that isnt a dream fantasy for a great first kiss, then I dont know what is.
Perhaps the filmmakers are setting up a spin-off sequel that focuses solely on Hit-Girl as she matures to Hit-Woman.
But speculation of that sort is can be saved for an entirely different post.
