Kick-Ass

saw it tonight. loved it.

dark and funny. the camera work was great. good acting (even from Nic Cage ). fabulous soundtrack.

Hell, I might even see it again.

Will see it today.

Not bad, a little overhyped if you ask me. Tbh, i hate superhero movies with a passion, so it was infinitely better than i was expecting.

I had 2 main problems.

1. I was expecting it to be a comedy, but the sheer volume of gore and violence (towards children sometimes) rather spoiled the few but hilarious one-liners. I'd prefer tbh that they made their minds up - action or black comedy. You can't have both.

2. The beginning was far far too long. The introduction, before the encounter with BD and HG, must have been about a quarter of the entire film. As usual, all of the good bits were in the adverts so, with the somewhat braindead plot being about as linear as is physically possible, there was no surprising 'wow' or 'ROFL' moment at all for me anyway.

that's what I loved about it. I think they meshed the two together very well.

Dude, nobody ever believes me when I say it, but the guy's a great actor if he gets cast in the right role. Kick-ass totally nailed his abilities perfectly.

I'm with you on this one.

Looking forward to it since loved the comic book, so glad they didnt tone it down for more family friendly rating. Plus it pissed off Roger Ebert as being morally reprehensible for the scenes involving Hit-Girl...I count that as a positive!

I was pretty shocked about those scenes. And not in a bad way.

In fact, I think she's my favorite character in the movie.

Watched it, love it.

I did not think Hollywood had the guts to cast a child doing the things HG did in that movie....I hate child actors...but I love hitgirl in this movie.

Cudos to you Kick ass....best movie of this year so far.

Damn, I was gonna go see it today, but it got sold out.

Sounds good by how you guys are putting it. I was expecting a overhyped piece of movie such as "meet the spartans", but this one actually sounds pretty good.

Yay finally somebody make a thread about it.

This movie does indeed kick ass, it got that perfect combination of violence, action and good old comedy all blend together.

It won't disappoint and the nicholas cage/hit girl daddy daughter duo are just totally bad ass. They get my most awesome dysfunctional family award.

I didn't so much mind the swearing and violence from the 12 year old girl, but i thought the last bit where it was directed towards her was too much. If i want to see children being stamped on i will go to Sierra Leone, not a 'comedy' film.

I don't think it was meant to be an out and out comedy film though.

There was one scene that freaked me out:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When Big Daddy 'shot' Hitgirl.

Good acting by Cage? Gonna watch the movie, because it's really hard to believe that...

That was the best bit of the film lol, i wish they'd had more black humour like that.

Was alot of fun, think the ending of the comic was better suited then the movie ending but no big deal. Hit Girl rules and Cage was alot of fun as Big Daddy but really movie was stolen by Hit Girl.

Was made even funnier when she negotiated ice cream in exchange for 2 more bullets to the chest! Love the ending when she goes to school to be a normal girl and gets comforted for her lunch money.

Apparently Hitgirl did many of her own stunts too.

Awesome movie!


Makes you wonder tough:

why doesn't someone suit up and start killing douchebags? Brussels could use some vigilantes for instance

10 years younger, and a healthy body, and I probably would have bought me a suit and a gun, especially after watching this and watchmen
