Isn't kick ass supposed to be a "realistic" super hero movie?
Suggest a good non-gritty/realistic action movie!

I've seen most of the Schwarzenegger movies, and The Running Man is one of my favorites.
Total Recall - that's the one that took place on Mars, isn't it?
Yep. It was based on Philip K. Dick's We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. It was my favourite movie as a child, which shocked me when I watched it again recently because it is insanely violent. Graphic too.I've seen most of the Schwarzenegger movies, and The Running Man is one of my favorites.

uhh, Commando isn't that realistic.
When I was a kid it seemed realistic (I was very naive). But watching it as an adult now days. It's just painfully hilarious. Good comedy movie though.

Yes, though it seemed pretty "gritty" to me.

total recall is gritty?
perhaps we should clarify the definition of gritty.
I always considered gritty films to be realistic war films. Saving Private Ryan is the definition of gritty in my book. Although non war films can be gritty if they opt for a low key approach to action with less flash. I consider Blade Runner (a sci fi film) to be gritty as well.
So most action films tend to be flashy and therefore non-gritty. Total recall I consider to be non-gritty. Unless you think graphic violence (R rating versus a pg-13 action film) to be gritty. I don't.

The first two Lethal Weapon films are actually quite good.
