The film Kick Ass, which stars Nicolas Cage, has come under fire from family groups in Australia for its strong language and sending a bad overall message.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, Kick Ass is based on a comic strip and tells the story of a group of misfit superheroes.
One of them, Hit Girl, is played by Chloe Moretz, who is taught by her dad, played by Cage, to fight criminals with the utmost violence.
Scenes in which she shoots a man in the face and another where she uses bad language have been singled out as particularly offensive, but the whole tone of the film has been attacked.
The film has been given an MA rating in Australia, which means that people under 15 must be accompanied by an adult to watch it.
The rating has outraged family groups, but they claim they are reluctant to openly oppose the film for fear of generating more publicity for it.
"The language is offensive and the values inappropriate – without the saving grace of the bloodless victory of traditional superheroes," said John Morrissey, spokesman for the Australian Family Association.
Cat's Comment.
This is only a movie for goodness sake if these people showed as much concern for the real world as they are doing for this movie and 15 is a fair rating to see it as children do swear it does happen it is called LIFE what goes on in this movie isn't real its called acting and to be quite honest i am getting fed up of peoples narrow minded remarks by attacking this movie and making it out to be the only movie in history that shows violence there have been violent films from Australia with teens in them so forgive me Australian family group is i dont agree with your narrow minded opinions on this movie. What about when Natalie Portman did the professional and Leon. These people obviously dont want to see the movie so they are trying to dictate to other people to do the same if they don't want to see the movie then fine but do not shove it down other peoples throats by trying to get them to not see it neither. I will say this they can't stop their kids from seeing it after all they will see it behind their parents backs or are these people ignorant aswell!
"People should learn not to talk about something they haven't seen yet"
Kick Ass will more than likely get a 15 rating in the UK 15 is the equivalent to America's R Rating
