Not good? I thought it was great.
Of course, I'm enough of a comic geek that I love watching a good writer playing with comics tropes and twisting them into pretzels.
Kick-Ass is someone trying to live up to Silver Age superheroic ideals which don't work in the real world (as he soon find out) while Hit-Girl is someone living down to the over-the-top '80s anti-hero archtype (Wolverine/Punisher/etc.). The part where she attempts to get her father's attention in typical little kid fashion (and over a very non-typical activity) is subtly chilling and horrible, made even more so by the fact that her father chooses to speak like Pow! Bang! Adam West style Batman when in costume.
