Ugh, maybe I’m starting to get superhero-lag, but the trailer for X-Men: First Class does absolutely nothing for me. In fact, I take that back. I’m not sick of superhero movies, but I am done with the X-Men. Fans of the Marvel comic can flip me the bird all they want, but this franchise was over for me after Bryan Singer’s craptastic sequel, X2.

At any rate, check out the first full-length trailer for Kick-Ass and, as always, give us your …
Kick-Ass (yes, it’s an upcoming movie) is well known in the geek circuit and has been building collective buzz for the better part of a year. We laid out the history of the project right here, but if following links isn’t your thing, here’s the synopsis: [The success of] Wanted opened the door to the creative talents of comic writer Mark Millar (on whose comic Wanted was obviously based)… Mark Millar, who’d written some Superman treatments for DC, was also …
