Amazon.com The cinematic equivalent of a half case of Red Bull chased with donuts, Kick-Ass is a giddy, violent experience--and not your average superhero movie. Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., it offers a set of heroes who are decidedly without superpowers: Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides he'll be just like a comic-book character, and puts on a ridiculous green suit to fight crime as the mysterious Kick-Ass. Luckily, somebody else had the same idea and comes along to rescue the incompetent crusader: Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), who also happen to be running around town wearing masks and vanquishing evil. And here we have the movie's masterstroke: Hit Girl, a pint-sized preteen who slaughters bad guys and swears like a sailor on leave (and was the focus of a measure of controversy when the movie was released). The main target of our heroes is a gangster (Mark Strong, Sherlock Holmes), whose neglected son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, McLovin from Superbad) figures he might just pull on a costume himself and become⦠Red Mist! (One of the many funny things about Kick-Ass is that the superhero names are hopelessly lame.) Director Matthew Vaughn is operating at the same glib level as his Layer Cake, with cutesy song cues galore and a freewheeling appetite for cartoon violence. This means the movie's high wears off quickly, but it does get high--a crazy, hilarious (and by the way: decidedly R-rated) kick. All that, plus Nicolas Cage executes a deadly Adam West imitation when he pulls on his cape and cowl. That's entertainment. --Robert Horton

Interesting premise September 4, 2010 Twilightfan2010 Kick-Ass has an interesting premise - an average guy decides to fight crime and become a "super hero." It starts off very poorly for him, nearly killing him in the process. But at least he gains a super hero in the process (sort of). He also gains the respect of a couple of vigilante crime fighters who make it their life to bring bloody justice to the bad guys. The ending is fairly easy to see coming, but still enjoyable enough. Some great one liners and action shots. The Kick-Ass girl makes the movie. Nicholas Cage is good too.
A Fun Movie September 3, 2010 M. Jaffar (Philly, PA) I'll keep this brief (starving right now).
Kick-Ass is an energetic, funny, and unique satire of the superhero genre. If you get offended by Kill-Bill type action scenes or 11 year olds cursing or anything that is generally R-rated, don't watch this movie (and please stop posting reviews).
Here I come, chinese food!
Liked it. September 1, 2010 Harkanwar Anand (New York, New York) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ok, I liked this film, I don't know why people said it was really funny. It had some slapstick humor but the characters of the super hero were all very good except red-mist who really wasn't a super hero but just a phony wanna be. Towards the end, the film makes you want it to end. Great first half, Nicholas Cage kind of redeemed himself but he really is a bigger actor than all these films he's done recently. What happened to the man who made Leaving Las Vegas? I understand there's an age for everything but I'm happy he's bouncing back and this is definitely a step in the positive direction for him. My favourite thing about the film was the little girl with the cool purple hair, her attitude was amazing. She reminded me of the little sister to the main character in 500 days of summer. The stand-out feature is that the film is not one percent cheesy surprisingly. It is not very very funny unless you found Superbad the funniest film of all time. Slightly geeky and indie but overall a little over-rated. Definitely worth watching, exceeded my expectations but still, I'm not watching the correct films this year.
Kick-Ass DVD August 30, 2010 Fan Very entertaining movie. Great plot, acting, and action. Complaints about language and violence are greatly exaggerated, but it is not suitable for young children. Highly recommend this movie.
