I felt an odd disconnect watching this movie.

The title character seems to belong more to the tradition of Spiderman or Superman where they make it a point to use non-lethel force. Kind of like a Mystery Men low-rent version. The fights with him are framed fairly realistically with real life consequances.

On the other hand Big Daddy and Hit Girl seem to belong more to the revenge fueled Punisher-style vigilantes, who only seem mildly psychopathic compared to the villain who's really psychopathic. Their fight scenes seem more akin to gun-fu where they perform stunts that are physically impossible.

I enjoyed both elements on their own, but when the three of them crossed path, it was jarring to watch. Since Big Daddy and Hit Girl are far more compelling characters I wonder if it would have better to just have them the main characters and be done with it.

Maybe the contrast in style was the point. But for me it was the difference between liking it and loving it.
