cricketbat I feel that Kick-Ass would have been better as a PG-13 movie. Sure, this would have upset the comic book fanboys, but the strong, vulgar language and intense violence are distractions from the heart of this movie. At its core, this is an inspiring film about humanity rising to its full potential and it's a fresh take on the superhero genre. The acting, plot, costume design, art direction, cinematography and soundtrack are all very well done, but I think the general public didn't embrace this movie because it is, simply, too much.

Michael Ledo The beginning of the movie is Quentin Tarantino does Napoleon Dynamite, without the annoying flashbacks, just annoying first person narration. The first person narration eventually goes away. A geek kid decides to become a superhero, and as in real life he doesn't get superhero results. When he is faced with certain death he is saved by an 11 year old girl in a mask(Hit Girl). This is a remarkable scene as the sound track plays the music from the Banana Splits. Yes, the sound track helped make the movie.The initial scene with Nicolas Cage was also a great scene. In order to be a big hit, a movie needs a few great scenes and no bad scenes. I believe this film will be a cult classic. I thought the teen acting was all excellent except for the Red Mist. His bad acting was made up for by a sensational performance by Hit Girl (Dakota Fanning move over) who owned every scene she was in.The nudity mentioned on the box must refer to the quick glimpse we get of "National Geographic porno" we see on the computer while our hero has his pants at his ankles. Frequent f-bomb.

shoquandasmith Kick Ass was a surprise hit both commercially and critically when it was released, and one can see why. It is probably as anti-superhero as one can get and it is visceral- which is something you do not see in risk averse big budget superhero films. Nicholas Cage is a worthy guru to Aaron Taylor and his sidekick- the ass kicking Chloe Moretz. Do not go in with any expectation and you will be pleasantly surprised. A special mention to the cinematography and fights department who really shine through.

Noah Kick @$$ was a good movie. When it came out I thought it looked like a dumb movie. When I heard that Jim Carry (my favorite actor) would be in the movie I watched the trailer for the second. I only wanted to see it because of Jim Carry. A friend that saw it said that I need to see the first one to understand this one. He let me borrow the comic to read first. I loved it and loved the movie. Second wasn't terrible like others say but not that great. The first has the same concept as the comic but many storyline are changed,but in a good way. In the book Big Daddy told Hit Girl Jonnny (the main bad guy) killed her mom but it turns out he just left her because he felt life was boring. In the Frank (the main bad guy) actually did kill her mom. The movie is funny but not in a ha ha way but more in a irreverent way. The story was good, the action cool, Hit Girl was a bad @$$, and it makes you think that you're watching a Tarenteno movie. If you don't like bloody violence, vulgar language, and dirty humor that kick @$$ is not for you but if you can handle it than watch it.
