Kick-ass

Daily Mail writer claims he was bullied over Kick-Ass review

Chris Tookey, the Daily Mail reviewer who called Kick-Ass "evil" and said of Hit-Girl "Paedophiles will adore her", has claimed he's fallen foul of an "internet hate mob". Actual quote: "Waah waah waah."

Review: Kick-Ass

It's evil. It's twisted. It revels in the abuse of children. But enough about The Daily Mail. Kick-Ass is finally here, and I'm glad to report it's an absolute pleasure to watch; an orgiastic marriage of superhero action and teen comedy that manages to be exciting, funny and, above all, original. It's a tabloid-worthy cliché, but it happens to be true in this case: you have never seen a movie like Kick-Ass.
