n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I don't even want to even think about this movie at all because I don't know what this was supposed to be at all. Does it even want to be a faithful adaptation of the anime OVA or does it just want to waste Samuel L. Jackson's time and talent?! Because if this movie was trying to make me get into the anime, then it is clearly missing the point of the original. The writing is just terrible, the plot makes no sense at all and the fact that it has little to nothing to do with the anime is just one of the many reasons why I despise Hollywood making god-awful live-action U.S. film adaptations based off of Japanese anime shows and movies.Bottom line...this movie sucks!!! Don't bother watching this movie and stick with the anime, instead.

You know you're watching a bad movie when you immediately dislike it after 5 minutes and then in hope of the movie improving it doesn't after 20 minutes. Then when you have lost all hope that this movie will improve you immediately turn off the movie. Kite is one of those movies that has the dishonour of being one of those bad movies that I have pressed stop after 20 minutes. Yes, this movie was so bad I could not go a minute further.Kite seemed like Kick-Ass (2010) meets Mad Max (1979). This movie is unpleasantly and unappealingly violent and the action scenes were also very poor and unexciting. Apart from the little known cast, what on earth was Samuel L. Jackson doing in such a rubbish movie?! Looks like he needed a bit of extra money to pay the bills and to keep up his work ethic.Unless this type of movie appeals to you, don't bother.1/10.

As the saying goes, not many surprises to be found here, but still a somewhat decent low budget effort. Formula is well known and with an added gravitas such as Samuel L. Jackson, you give the movie some weight (it's not like he can help all the flaws this has, but he's always mesmerizing to watch).The other actors are mixed bunch. The action (choreography) though is pretty good. Always taking into account what movie that is. There is also a lot of blood and drug use fyi, though I'm sure you can read that in the rating explanation too. There are not many shades of gray character wise, you do get them in color scheme of the picture though. For some it might be a bit too dark of course.

Seeing a 4.3 rating on IMDb, I did expect that something must be wrong with Kite, but found it to be an overall good movie.Story, Acting, Camera and Setting are without major flaws, and within the genre the story is quite believable and has no obvious holes.The ending even holds some surprises, and there are a number of memorable scenes.So why the low rating? My theory is that there are a number of factors:The mainstream audience may have a problem with the soundtrack which can be annoying if are not at least a little into dubstep (I found it a prefect fit for this movie) To purists the characters may be not cool enough; they are too vulnerable, too human and fail too often be bad-ass uberheroes The mainstream may find the setting too dark, while purist may not like the brightening elements in the storyIt might have been a masterpiece if the film makers would not have tried to please the mainstream. It almost seems as if there was a struggle between those forces who wanted to appeal to a wide audience and those who wanted to go to the extreme. The mixed result seems to keep many people unsatisfied, although I regard it as well above average.I can recommend to watch it and make up your own mind. I believe that "Kite" will be more appreciated over time and find its audience.
