What is it? What is it? No, not the bees! Not the bees! My eyes RAAARGGGGHHHH!!!
LOL, Nick Cage. I used to think he was the poor man's Jimmy Stewart, now he's just ridiculous.
Too unthinkingly juvenile for anyone over 14, but too gory and harsh for that demographic at the same time.
Mark Millar is fond of the old ultraviolence. Somebody over on Scans_Daily posted some scans of comic book Hit Girl, by the way, they're here if you're interested. I haven't read the comics myself, but I know the movie went into production way before the first arc was even finished - so the scriptwriters basically had a couple of issues and a plot overview to work from, I think.
Mind you, I'm not convinced the comic will be satisfactory in resolving these issues either. Oh, and I second your point above about how 'an 11-year-old girl being the toughest fighter in a room full of mooks instead of cowering in the corner [...] would be the coolest thing ever, in a better movie.' We need Cassandra Cain to be in the next Batman movie, that's what we need!
