Everyone seems to think Kick-Ass is an amazing movie and that it's one of the best adaptations of a comic book made in a while. Well they can keep thinking that. I personally think this is one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life. Not as bad as Inglourious Basterds, but still really bad. First of all, the characters are flat, boring and honestly, down right disgusting and rude. The concept is really cool. The main character is your every day teenage geek named David Lizewski, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who likes having a good time with the ladies and comic books ends up becoming a vigilante know as Kick-Ass, and he eventually meets up with two other vigilantes, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter, Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) and they team up to go against the head of a criminal organization. Sounds cool right? It does, until you realize how boring, disgusting, and flat the characters are. This film seems to be think that it's funny with it's crude and suggestive jokes, with the main characters fantasies about his teacher, his crush, and how everyone thinks he's gay. They also seem to think that the constant swearing makes it funnier. It doesn't make it funnier, it just makes you wish they would stop talking and never talk again throughout the entire movie. The action will also give you a blazing headache because of all the shaky camera work. I felt nauseous while watching those scenes because it was the worst shaky cam I have ever seen in my life. I will give the film this though. It had a total of two funny moments throughout the entire 117 minute experience. Once in the beginning when he's standing over his mothers grave and it was barely funny but still got a chuckle out of me. And the second near the end when Kick-Ass is giving his ending monologue. That and the acting for Nicolas Cage and Mark Strong (who played the bad guy) wasn't too bad. However the acting for the other characters I thought was rather lack luster and dull. And that's about all the good things in the film The bad things about this movie heavily outweigh the good things though. This film is rude, disgusting, and devoid of any good entertainment. Now there is a sequel coming out which is rather shocking, at least for me. I honestly think it does look better than the first film, but considering how I feel about the first, that's not saying much. Either way, it doesn't change how much of a horrible experience it was to watch this movie.

Okay what can I say about Kick Ass that you don't already know? Everybody by now will have heard that it's super funny, super violent and super rude. You'll know that Nicholas Cage has put in a peformance that will make you instantly forgive the last fifteen years of his career. You'll may even have heard that eleven year old Hit Girl is a gift to paedophiles everywhere. Good ol Daily Mail - I wonder if they actually have even seen this movie. I'm not even going to bother addressing how a super sweet little girl in a school uniform (shock horror) can be considered sexy because she swears and kills bad guys as it's as ridiculous as stating that this movie approves of kicking donkeys because the title suggests so. Yeah that stupid.

Matthew Vaughan has just climbed the ladder to 'awesome director' level. The images and pace are simply perfect and the action sequences will make Michael Bay sob into his Michael Bay beer glass when. Neither over shakey nor overly smooth every single fight scene feels fresh and varied enough to feel different from the last. Hit Girl's frantic acrobatics are astounding to watch (and her cute little smirks in the scene when she first meets Kick Ass are worth ticket price alone) whilst Big Daddy (Nic Cage)'s Batman Begins style combat contrasts utterly and reminds me more of the Oldboy corridor fight in its one shot brilliance. Oh and this movie may contain the greatest air punching moment as Elvis Presley blasts through the speakers near the final .

What's surprising about Kick Ass is how perfectly complete it feels. Aaron Johnson's wonderful Tobey McGuire homage suggests this will be a silly Spiderman farce but it's so very much more. The satire and jokes come in fast and thick but the end of the second act wades in darker than any moment in the Sam Raimi movies. Surprisingly then Kick Ass is, in many ways, more Watchmen than Mystery Men and is unquestionably brilliant.

Edgar Wright better have something pretty special up his sleeve with Scott Pilgrim as Kick Ass has lifted the bar to an awe inspiring new level.

Extremely funny as it is extremely wrong, the movie features extreme violence and wrong humour that I've not seen in a mainstream movie since Donnie Darko.

The movie comments on how come we find inspiration from super heroes but fail to help each-other. What happens if you decide to become one. Well, think that and then hold the idea of Napoleon Dynamite stepping up for the job.

Our super hero 'Kick Ass', gets implanted with a super skeleton after a rather stupid accident. After doing super hero acts of trying to rescue Mr Bitey, a lost cat he gets launched into super stardom over the internet. However, there's an arch enemy, a mafia boss who is looking out for superheros who seem to be thwarting his organised crime.

Like Napoleon Dynamite, our super hero kick-ass is a loser! He's got a love interest who thinks he's gay, he's got mates who think he's an idiot and he can't even fight! Enter the town's real super hero vigilantes, Big Daddy and Hitgirl.

The movie just has you groaning and saying, "No .. no don't do that", and, "that joke was funny, but really, really wrong".

Funny and ironic to the last the movie parodies Batman and Spiderman but has its own dimension. It also features on social issues, such as ignoring crime and anti-social behaviour as a sideline. For me the movie is the best I've seen so far this year. I would like it to be a one off like Step Brothers, but I have a feeling its gonna be made into a franchise :-(

Well I went to see this film as a second choice as Clash Of the Titans my boyfriend wanted to see was sold out. I have to say it was the better choice, although shockingly graphic in some of the violent scenes, it was packed with very funny moments.
Stupid at times but keeps you engaged if your light hearted and like the new style of comedy coming from the new bread of American film comedy kids.
I always judge a film buy how often I feel uncomfortable in my seat or need to go to the loo, yeah sad I know but it works try it... this film kept me laughing, with some cute bits, and enough gor and guns and fighting to keep the other half quiet.
Top choice !!!
