  Full of action, humor, spunk, I laughed i cried, i was like holy shit. This was full bore action with dark humor. Chloe Moretz is just awesome as Hit Girl. I mean just brilliant.

  [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] I am almost certain that Kick Ass will become a cult classic in a few years time because of it's unique visual style and it's courage to keep an open mind but I was very pleased to see the comic book genre broadening to indie territory and Kick Ass is leading the pack. Interestingly it's a moving film but not in the dumb manner of mainstream super hero cliches. Kick Ass has brilliant performances (particularly Chloe Grace Martez), quirky humour, crisp action sequences all that adds up to excellent eye candy and a film that certainly lived up to it's title.

  In the beginning, Kick-Ass look just another cliche action movies, just like Spider Man franchise, The Meteor Man, Scott Pilgrim and present a couple (the characters of Aaron Johnson and Lyndsy Fonseca) without any kind of enthusiasm and very boring; but Vaughn's picture is a new level of violence, profanity, black humor and a lot of blood, what make a unique kind of hero film and show a great duo by Nicolas Cage and the terrific Chloe Moretz, which character is much more better that Kick-Ass. Fresh.

This movie was not funny, not entertaining, nor was it relatable. The gore and the raw language did not fit with this disjointed and uninspired piece of crap.

  So good! A great film...

  At first, I thought this movie was going to be hella stupid as the first scenes were full of unfunny stuffs. But it started to get exciting from the middle and turned out to be awesome at the end.

  A brilliant, original idea that avoids a lot of the stereotypical 'teen film' situations. The cast is good and they work well together and I think this is a great performance from Nicolas Cage especially. Mark Strong did a great job as usual. A big problem for me was that Cage died. His injuries didn't seem substantial enough to kill him but hey, I'm not a doctor. I could predict a lot of what was going to happen as it's the opposite of what would normally happen in a Hollywood film but overall is was thoroughly enjoyable.

  A new breed of superheroes will be revealed. Saw it again!! Excellent!!! That movie will get the critics nuts!!! A great story with some great funny/action/violent scenes. In New York, teenager Dave Lizewski is a loser at high-school, a fan of comic books and ignored at school. He spends most of his time with his friends Marty and Todd who are also comic book fans. Dave has a crush on Katie Deauxma but she in turn does not even notice him. One day, Dave decides to make a difference to his life by becoming a masked superhero named Kick-Ass. In his first superhero role he attempts to prevent a car theft by two punks, but he is inadvertently stabbed by one of them and hit by a car later. Dave is taken to hospital where his bones are fixed with metal. When he recovers, Katie begins to notices him. That night, Dave helps a man being hunted down by three guys in front of a cafeteria, the teenagers record the fight with their cell phone cameras. Then they put the footage in Internet and Kick-Ass immediately becomes famous. Meanwhile the powerful gangster Frank D'Amico believes that Kick-Ass is responsible for actions against his gang and plots a scheme to destroy him.

  When I first started watching this (only a few days after I had seen Scott Pilgrim) I thought it was going to be just another unknown adaptation that would squeeze a few giggles and nothing more. I was REALLY surprised at the quality of this movie. Funny, thoughtful and intensely dark this movie made me read the comic book of which I am a great fan of now.

• Martin S

  
  I enjoyed it. It's pretty humorous. It has a very comical way of using brutality...and that was fun. And it's one of few movies where I can watch Nicolas Cage without feeling any uncomfortability or disgust...And that's a win in my book.

  Kick Ass was just okay for me at first, but on a second viewing it may be one of the funniest films of the year. A nerd decides to become a hero named Kick Ass but soon is taken into the underground of superheroes of the city. The movie is hilarious and actually a little good hearted. The plot is fun and cool, but a little long. I think they picked the wrong person to play Kick Ass, but other than that the cast was great. I really enjoyed this film, Roger Ebert was wrong on this one.

• Matt G

  
  Downright epic. This movie has everything, badass superheroes, badass fights, badass little girls, and the only good performance I've seen of Nicolas Cage in a long time, still hate him as an actor.

• Eric A

  
  For what it is......I REALLY liked every bit of this movie. I was completely surprised how good it actually was. Funny & action packed, it accomplished it's goal.

  Stylishly exhilarating, Kick-Ass is a fusion of teen, superhero, comedy, and action that truly entertains. Brutally fun, the first half of the film works with serious realistic undertones that really ground the story. Unfortunately, the second half spirals into nonsensical "tongue and cheek" silliness that kind of felt unsolicited. It's this uneven direction that pulls back the Kick-Ass 'experience", a film that challenged the idea of heroism in real life vs. the comic-book world but shamelessly ditches the idea for a brainless shoot-ehm-up mafia plot.

  It's very well shot. I just didn't really care about the story; it's trying to be at Watchmen level but it isn't (though the Watchmen adaptation isn't even at the Watchmen level as that is a very high bar to meet). Nicholas Cage finally gets to play Batman (a… More
  It's very well shot. I just didn't really care about the story; it's trying to be at Watchmen level but it isn't (though the Watchmen adaptation isn't even at the Watchmen level as that is a very high bar to meet). Nicholas Cage finally gets to play Batman (a satire of him), so if you share that batty dream with Cage, that alone could make this flick worth it.

  A really great superhero comedy! Refreshing! A must see!

  I'm not sure how to explain it, I just really love this movie

  "Mindy, no more homework, Babydoll. Time for Frank D'Amico to go bye-bye." Kick-Ass is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. At the start of the movie I was a little worried. It seemed to just be Superbad disguised as a "superhero" movie. It was funny but I wanted something more. That's when Hit Girl(Chloë Grace Moretz) and Big Daddy(Nicholas Cage) showed up, and it did begin to become something better. Nicholas Cages role actually benefited this movie; when is the last time you could say that. I still have faith he can get back to his old self, but I digress. When Kick Ass(Aaron Johnson) forges an alliance with these two; the movie really picks up. It starts becoming more than just a comedy. There's suspense and drama in the story, not just a bunch of jokes about sex. The best part of the movie is Moretz as Hit Girl. She had a great year, starring in both this and Let Me In. Both of which she was amazing in, and both of which were completely different roles. This is surprising because child actors/actresses are usually type casted into one type of role. She was the biggest badass in the movie and definitely had the best dialogue."Hey Green asshole. You can't use the front door now." Her action sequences are awesome and are usually accompanied by some pretty cool one-liners. "Okay you cunts... Let's see what you can do now." 2010 was a pretty good year for adaptions of lesser known comics. We got Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and Kick-Ass. This movie was one of my favorites of 2010.

  Delivers everything the awesome trailers promised: The lives of super heroes as they really would look like in today's world. With cartoon style violence, a great dark sense of humor, lots of movie references and Nicolas Cage giving his best performance for years. The young newcomers are all outstanding as well, especially Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl. Mark Strong is as diabolic and brilliant as villain as always. Such a hilariously funny, touching (!), incredibly violent, deeply entertaining film. The best aspect is, that it is mocking the usual comic film stereotypes as much as it is celebrating them. Like Zombieland last year: a mean little flick that doesn't give a shit about expectations, political correctness and stereotypes and is just having a good time. A must see, for the not so wimpy ones at least.

  When we get a fiolm that both mocks and embraces superheros, we get a winner! The Incredibles was the last to this this, and both that and Kick-Ass might even stand out and being better than most superhero flicks adapted from comic books. Kick-Ass being a comic book adapted movie… More
  When we get a fiolm that both mocks and embraces superheros, we get a winner! The Incredibles was the last to this this, and both that and Kick-Ass might even stand out and being better than most superhero flicks adapted from comic books. Kick-Ass being a comic book adapted movie itself. MORE WILL COME LATER,,,
