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

 Great Movie September 7, 2010
Jeffrey C. Meade (Illinois)
I really wasnt sure what to expect with this movie, but after watching it all I can say is wow. This is definitely one of the better movies Ive seen in a long time. All the lead characters did a good job with Hit Girl as a big stand out. I really hope they do a sequel.
Hit Girl is great September 7, 2010
Harry (Honolulu, HI USA)
Kick-Ass is a Great ultraviolent movie! If you liked Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama) age 17 in Kill Bill, you will love Hit Girl/Mindy Macready (Choloe Grace Maretz) age 13. She elegantly dispatches innumerable villains with a variety of weapons in this controversial movie that may be the best film of 2010. See it if you dare.
Pretty much its own genre September 6, 2010
James R. Gilligan (Lafayette, IN United States)
This is the best fake-super-hero-who-stumbles-upon-a-crime-syndicate-that-ruined-the-career-of-a-cop-who's-now-seeking-vengeance-by-training-his-pre-pubescent-daughter-to-be-a-lethal-killing-machine movie that I have ever seen. The script is clever, the action is intense, and the violence is cartoonishly operatic. I was disappointed to see Nicolas Cage (hands down, my least favorite actor, especially since he robbed Sean Penn of his first Oscar--I mean, "Leaving Las Vegas," REALLY? Anyway, I digress...) in this film, but I was satisfied with his fate. I'm not usually a fan of violent chopsocky flicks, but "Kick-Ass" was definitely a cut above--not your run-of-the-mill wannabe teenage superhero flick at all--I'm eager for the sequel.
Great show! September 6, 2010
DiamondDave
This is a great movie. However, it is NOT for children or those easily offended. There is quite a bit of profanity and violence. It is funny, well-paced and somewhat intense, with graphic violence and sharp dialogue. Fans of Quenton Tarantino or the Coen brothers should appreciate this film.
TERRIFIC LITTLE GEM September 6, 2010
Robin Simmons (Palm Springs area, CA United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Mixed reviews did not bode well for this terrific little gem that lives up to the graphic novel and delivers an unvarnished, unfiltered take on the whole super hero syndrome in life and art. Profane and violent, here's what happens when you don a mail-order wetsuit and set out to fight crime. It gets painful and bloody fast as certain death beckons. And then you are saved by Big Daddy and Hit Girl -- a disturbed comic artist father, and adolescent daughter who are fearless, crazier than you and superbly trained in lethal martial arts. Good and evil have their showdown in a satisfying battle that for once lives up to the title. No doubt there's meaning here, but I'm still working it out. Not for all tastes.
