18 Genius Pieces Of Movie Exposition

Tell it like it is...

Kick-Ass (2010)

The Exposition: “Once upon a time there were two super cops called Daddy and Marcus who were very good at getting bad guys.
 
Frank D'Amico was the baddest guy of them all and he came up with a plan to get rid of daddy.
 
Being framed as a drug dealer was the worst possible thing that could have happened to Daddy. Prison was not his natural habitat. He was very upset. With Daddy in prison his pregnant wife was all alone and could not cope.
 
But all clouds have a silver lining – Mindy was born! Marcus became the child's guardian and Daddy started a plan of his very own. Five years later he left prison and he was ready.
 
Now it was time for Mindy to get ready too.” 
 
The Short Version: Top cop Daddy was framed for drug dealing and used his prison time to plan his revenge as vigilante superhero Big Daddy. 
 
Why It's Genius: Director Matthew Vaughn makes excellent use of the printed material that inspired his ultra-violent film to fill in the background for two of its most enigmatic characters: Big Daddy and Hit Girl.
 
The usually stark 2D panels from the comic-book even benefit from an enhanced 3D look when they’re presented onscreen.

      Im shocked that the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 1 animation about the 3 brothers/ Deathly Hallows is not there! that is awsome and could be a short film in its own right!

      I can not believe Back to the Future part 2 is't included. The Doc, a black board, a piece of chalk and an alternate 1985...classic!

      No it hasn't. No Indianapolis speech from Jaws? One of the greatest of them all.

      Ermmmmmmm freakshows - where on earth is the Prologue from the Lord of the Rings? The first 5 minutes of that is just stunning and sets up the trilogy perfectly! I also agree with Azazeal - The Tale of the Three Brothers is just a beautiful piece of cinema too!

      i def agree about harry potter and lord of the rings, but i found Serenity to be a great one, finding out the history of the alliance and the war in an actual history class then Wham! straight into Rivers situation and her escape, which once again turns out to be exposition as well
