Not familiar with the comic, but the film's been getting some pretty good buzz (since Comic Con); I'll definitely be checking this out to form an opinion. Looks fun.

The graphic novel was extremely brutal, and it was good.

Old news for those checking up on this in the other thread in Comic book movies.

Yeah,I've known about this for awhile,it should be good

Trailer looks good and tempting too.

I like the man's work, so have been looking forwards to this film for ages, looks so much fun.

Saw the trailer in the theater, film looks awful.

Apparently this movie got great reviews. IGN claims it is the best Superhero movie with a 5/5 stars. Hollywood gives it a 5/5 ass well.

I'm not quite sure what to think so far. It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look that good either.

Apparantly this films amazing. Some reviewers are sayings its the best thing since the Dark Knight and that Hit Girl's gonna be the next movie icon. Definately going to watch it.

Saw the trailer again when I went to see Green Zone yesterday, I take back my earlier comment. Movie will likely be shit, but a decent fun film. The little girl looks to be the lowest-point.

I agree

Vastly different reviews, well the first one is written by a 'critic' I can't stand but I read his reviews because I find them so amusing sometimes when they are angry and melodramatic, especially this one. It was in the newspaper today but found it here, he gave it one star:

And a four star review here by a woman who mentioned Hit Girl as a feminist icon:

Starts next week this movie

yeah...

i dont think it can beat spiderman 2

Better than The Dark Knight and Watchmen: Directors Cut? I don't think so. But I will probably see this with friends since it comes out on the birthday.

After all, it IS rated R and apparently pretty violent so......

oh, dark knight.

TDK isnt the best comic movie; its just a really good movie in itself.

TDK>Spiderman 2

I'm actually getting excited for this movie. I think it's going to be pretty awesome; keep hearing good things.

Ledger died over it, damn you. Ledger died!

Spiderman 2>TDK more like, sure TDK was good and Ledgers Joker was amazing but no way is it as good as spiderman 2, the only reason i liked TDK was cuz of the Joker scenes and everything else to me was kinda boring

What? You're on crack, Spider-Man 2 was a CGI suckfest.

Spider-Man 2 is, arguably, the best of the three, IMO.

The Dark Knight was a good film, I have to admit, but Ledger's Joker was nothing more than an anarchist in clown make-up. There. I finally said it.

Not that I agree SM2's CGi "sucked", but CGI doesn't (or shouldn't) make a movie by itself. Story is far more important.

Would you have rather they set a peice of paper on fire and used that as Ocks failed experiment? Spiderman 2's storyline was fantastic and the fight on the train was amazing. TDK's storyline needed Joker to make it a good film, without Joker it wouldn't have been as good as it was and for me spiderman 2 trumps TDK anyday

And take out Doc Ock and you have Spider-Man and his whiny friend Harry and snaggle-toothed Mary Jane.

The train fight was pretty good, but then everyone saw his face. Does EVERYONE know who Spider-Man is? Apparently in Raimi's world they do.

Ahhh but spiderman 2 did need a villain in it, TDK still had Two face, and you can make fun of MJ but you realise that Maggie looks like the Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland right? The cartoon not the new 3D one I'd pick MJ over Maggie anyday, though I do think Katie Holmes is more attractive

Without Joker it wouldn't have been as good? No shit. Almost everyone here agrees Ledger was the best of many great things about the film.

Spiderman 2, yet, has no character on par with either Joker or Dent. Spiderman 2 has one awesome action scene with the train. The Dark Knight had 3-4 great action scenes that relied less on CGI and more on music, intensity, acting, ect.

I like Spiderman 2, its action and Molina as Ock, and then some other things. But The Dark Knight is on a different level.

1.The Dark Knight
2.Watchmen: Directors Cut
3.V for Vendetta
4.Batman Begins
5.Iron Man
6.Blade II

My tops are constantly changing as the days themselves do but I'm sure these films are superior to any of the Spiderman entries.

No need to turn this into a brawl. Spiderman 2 is one of the better films of the genre. I just don't agree that it's on par with any of the films listed above.

Okay, everyone:

There's 8 million people in NYC, only the people in the front cabin saw his face and they saw it for about a minute.

So they know he's a white-kid with shortish brown hair. He's not someone well known, like Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark.

No, I meant the Joker is what set everything into motion. Because of him we have Two-Face, because of him Rachel is dead. He made the story...I don't mean that because of him the story was good.

Kick-Ass should be pretty good. The comics were ****ing awesome, all around. Too short, but if they stretched it out too long it probably would have ended up being mediocre.

The thing is, the characters are supposed to be comic-book readers who decide to just go out there and emulate the heroes. It works that he is a nerd. And it makes it more shocking when you see them getting ultra violent.

I know they completely changed the ending

Yeah i loved the storyline, it wasn't just some comic filled with violence and swearing, it had a good storyline to it and when I first read it I loved it and kept checking to see when issue 8 was coming out so I could see the conclusion. Hoping it carries on, I heard there's gonna be a possible sequel to the movie, dunno about the comics but crossed fingers.

They changed the costume for the movie, which brings out the nerdiness of Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The main character in the comic was really a weeny.

Fair enough, just can't see McLovin kicking anyone's ass.

This film totally rocked. I'll be saying that sometime after I see it I bet.

I wanted to go with my friend who doesn't wanna see it because she says the trailer makes it look like a crappy kids film and I was like 'WTF!?!'

Just watched a review for this

One of the reviewers (David Stratton) went on about the violence in the movie and also how Hit-Girl kills people saying what does it all say for Society

There also two people that reviewed the movie the other gave it a good score of course.

Really, I think this film is going to surprise a lot of you. I think the trailers aren't letting on how ultra-violent this is probably gonna be.

Surely it can't be more violent then what Garth ennis has done.

There was a red band trailer released months ago and that was very graphic compared to the trailers out now.

Your friend needs to see the red band trailer. This film is ultra violent.

Apparantly Hit Girl (10(ish)) gets the ever-loving crap kicked out of her. That could be pretty graphic.

It wouldn't have been brought up in the reviews if it was an adult woman.

Pointless, needless. Consider the amount of celebrity magazines that exist, the man works for a major tabloid, and a lot of people have seen his face.

Even aside from that, it was a ham-fisted piece and really didn't need to be there.

As for the movie, I always preferred the first, but anyway, sorry for the off topic comments.

I think his point was specifically the "children" aspect. He's a moron, but not necessarily for that point.

Well getting negative idiotic reviews (written by complete dolts) makes me want to see this more. I'm not expecting anything great from this movie, I'm expecting this movie to be:

a) Violent
b) Relatively funny ( the movie will most likely be silly as f*ck)
c) Entertaining

I have faith that it will statisfy these requirments, anybody looking for anything other than these qualities should just not bother to watch it.

I saw this last night, liked it a lot.

The part where he talks about jacking off to a picture of her giving a guy a blow job whilst crying was friggin hilarious, the movie was good yes but in a way I felt they didn't do the comics much justice and plus the made big daddy into batman. In the end I prefer the comics but the movie was still good

You do realise the theme of the story isn't to say how awesome it would be to become a superhero, right?

It's a deconstruction. It's designed to show the inherent dangers and ridiculousness of vigilantism.

-AC

The film kind of lost that message like halfway through. and instead became how awesome the characters are

Yeah. The movie conveyed that about half the time. The tone/themes were all over the place.

The movie was enjoyable, but something about it felt off.

It felt as though it stopped attempting pure comedy after a while and tried to veer into darker terrain. Then it's as if it pussed out at the last minute and went back into lighter territory. The satire was muddled and didn't resonate well. One review I read said that after a while it became the very thing it was attempting to mock, and this is very true. It simply didn't know what it wanted to do, I feel. I really wish the film actually had the balls that the director obviously thinks it does and had stayed in that darker territory through to the logical conclusion, would have actually been a much better and more poignant film. As it is now, though, it's just a silly thing that felt as though it didn't have the intellectual chops to really convey the message that it apparently wanted to convey.

Still, Hit Girl was by far the best thing about the movie. She was the saving grace.

Yep. My thoughts from the Comic section:

You've probably seen it by now, but I'll post some of my thoughts anyway. First off, it's way better than Wanted, which I actually enjoyed, despite it straying WAY far away from the comic and it getting dissed by people. I haven't read Kick-Ass, but it felt very faithful to what I imagine the source material is like, and fans of the book have backed me up on that.

Some complaints - the movie felt like it didn't really know what it wanted to be/do. There were several distinct, (to me) conflicting tones and vibes. At times it was very realistic, portraying believable consequences to the characters' actions, etc., while at the same time there were many over-the-top, extremely unbelievable scenes and set-pieces. I kind of wish the film stuck with one style, or at least blended the several that were in the film more effectively.

I didn't like how they re-used John Murphy's music in this film, because I distinctly associate it with the movies it originally came from (28 Days Later and Sunshine). Mark Strong did a good job, but his character wasn't all that compelling of a villain. The "love story," if you want to call it that, was kind of weak.

There are probably some others, but those were the main things that bugged me. Overall, I really liked this movie. It's not quite as good as all the geek/fanboy hype that's been going around, but definitely worth your time imo. I had a lot of fun with it and when the movie clicked for me, it was was really great.

Lots of action/violence, memorable characters and moments and at times a subsersive take on the superhero mythos.

8/10

Oh, and two words - Hit Girl. She was the best part of this movie.

I saw this movie and it was aweful!! Naw, I never saw it, lol. So how are you?

Saw this today. It wasn't bad. It was good but I wouldn't call it great. I went in expecting nothing and came out feeling nothing. I didn't feel it was as great as the reviews have been hailing it. There were many cliches and judging from the beginning material, I thought this film would be different. It's got neat action and some laughs. Wasn't a bad way to spend $6.50 and two hours on a Saturday afternoon. Very glad it was rated R; and didn't take the sell-out route for the PG-13 rating.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Great movie and I will buying this movie when it comes out on DVD.

Wasn't bad, I laughed at a few scenes, enjoyed most of the fighting, bits of the dialogue were okay; overall though, I left with a mild feeling of lacking. Wish they had spent a little more time on Big Daddy/Hit Girl dynamic, that seemed really rushed.

To those that read the comic, did Kick-Ass not do all the much on paper either? This part surprised, I was expecting the exaxt opposite, but I got the point, "because they'd get killed if they tried", as the fat-kid said.

Nope, in the comic all he did was the fight that got him in the hospital, the fight that made him famous, get saved by hitgirl. and shoot the mob boss in the balls. In the comcis he did beat the ever loving shit out of Red mist tho, it wasn't some silly comedy fight like in the movie.

Damn, that would have been better, seeing that kid get his ass thoroughly kicked.

Holy shit! I don't know what movie some of you actually watched, but I was thoroughly impressed and entertained by Kick-Ass, by far the best comic book movie ever made, and I mean that. Hit Girl alone made Batman and Spider-Man look like pussies. The action scenes with her were the best blend of sound, editing, music, and choreography that I've seen since the original Die Hard. I was expecting to enjoy this movie, but I had no idea I'd be blown away as much as I was. In fact, this movie was the best movie in general I've seen for probablly the last few years.

I know, I read your review. I can't help it, this movie pulled my heart strings just right.

Is it similar to Defendor?- I loved that movie

Never saw Defendor, but I want to.

For this movie and i guess the comic......why is "He does'nt have super powers such a bad thing"

been plenty of heroes before this movie without them.

... because in real life people like batman wouldnt last long before they get merc'd.

Was'nt talking about real life.....but nevermind.

oh sorry

This was pretty good!

Was a great film. 8 out of 10.


Really wish I could have seen more action from Big Daddy as his scene was the coolest out of all of them.


I also wanted to see the main character progressively get better at what he was doing, but, realistically, things happened the way they should have.

It could have been better, for sure, but it was certainly better than most movies this year.

what stopped you from giving it a 10/10? is it for the reasons you stated (not enough big daddy scenes/not enough protagonist ass kicking)?

Originally posted by Ms.Marvel

Yeah, the stuff I stated, the fact that Kick-Ass was a wanna-be, and some other cheesy "b" level stuff.


The acting was pretty damn good....and Kick-Ass's Girlfriend was pretty damn hot, holdin' her bewbz in that one scene. It was stupid how she believed him after he told her that he was Kick Ass. No way would it have been that quick. She was built up to be this wise, all-caring, type, just to turn into a ditz over him once she found out he was Kick Ass. It kind of ruined her character...even though the movie was supposed to be about Amistad/Schindler's List level quality of character development.

Still, lots of things were realistic such as his video going viral, (It's not a spoiler, folks: that's in the previews.),clumsiness around girls, etc. I also liked how they had to, Fix his IP address problems as it would be quite easy to figure out his information if he had a public profile like that...good thinking by the writers.For me, it would have been better had his "depression" resulted in him training with Hit Girl and Big Daddy, THEN kicking ass, making a name for himself, and THEN getting mistaken for Big Daddy's exploits against the mob boss. It would have made things more believable and fun for me. I wanted to see the Kick Ass character start to succeed. Still, that's just a personal preference.


Hit Girl's scenes were fun. I really enjoyed the First Person Shooter scene she had. I wanted to see some actual real damage to Kick Ass as he was beat down with batons, bats, and brass knuckles. He should have had several gaping cuts on his face, broken, ribs, bruises all over the place, etc. They were realistic with some stuff involving Kick Ass, and then NOT realistic. I was hoping that he would meet up with his Girl Friend, proving he was Kick Ass, but they seemed to completely forgo any realistic play-out with his GF and she just believed him. Still sucked, IMO.


Of course, my usual complaints about prop placement errors, and other choreography mistakes. Some movies are really good about not making those mistakes and others seem to just no give a f*ck. This movie was in-between those two poles.



Anyway, is that what you wanted? I could give more details after watching it a second time. I plan to watch it one more time, after it's released on DVD. That's a huge plus for any film as I have this weird thing about not watching a movie more than once.

Bingo. And, I really liked the fact that it DID have Thinking about taking the cameras out BEFORE entering the building. Despite still missing the teddy bear, I was glad that they made his character actually smart instead of forgetting about any logical obstacle that would occur in the real world. A big mafia boss' compound would definitely have cameras all over the place. I was going to facepalm if he didn't take out the cameras OTHER than the hidden one. Made me happy, as you can tell, that his character thought about that. I am on the edge as to whether or not I liked how he spoke and acted in the film. It was odd and eccentric, but, I think that was the point: what kind of father would train his daughter to be a hunter-killer-infiltrator? An odd eccentric one. I liked his reasoning behind having her do it, too. The mob boss tore his family apart and drove his wife to the point of suicide: his daughter deserved a slice of revenge.

Yeah, the stuff I stated, the fact that Kick-Ass was a wanna-be, and some other cheesy "b" level stuff.


The acting was pretty damn good....and Kick-Ass's Girlfriend was pretty damn hot, holdin' her bewbz in that one scene. It was stupid how she believed him after he told her that he was Kick Ass. No way would it have been that quick. She was built up to be this wise, all-caring, type, just to turn into a ditz over him once she found out he was Kick Ass. It kind of ruined her character...even though the movie was supposed to be about Amistad/Schindler's List level quality of character development.







In the comic she gets pissed off at his betrayal when she fidns out hes not gay and has been lying and hates him for manipulation htinking it was just to be pervy."

But, does she start to like him later? That'd suck if that's how that played out in the "canon" version.

Having read the comic I was looking forward to that, Dave getting his balls tortured and how Big Daddy really died. That said, I liked what they did in the movie. One of the best comic book movies Ive seen. I was entertained the whole time. Nic Cage was a bit over the top but somehow I didnt mind it. Hit Girl stole the movie.

Between Kick-Ass and Iron Man 2; what do you people think is the better comic book film. Kick Ass was cool and all, but I think Iron Man 2 is a notch or possibly two above it.

I enjoyed Kick-Ass more, I thought it was more unique, less muddled (plot-wise), better action sequences, etc.

kickass was better imo

im biased though. i loved the kickass comic before the movie was even revealed to come out, and ive always hated iron man ermm

Kick-Ass was better to me. They both attempted humor, but I felt every attempt at humor in Iron Man 2 fell flat. I also hated in Iron Man 2 that Whiplash spent pretty much the entire movie building his drone army, which after Iron Man avoided for 15 minutes destroyed them like it was nothing. This of course was followed up by a mere 30 second fight between Whiplash and Iron Man/War Machine. There was very little struggle on Iron Man's part in the sense of having to overcome taking a beating before winning. He avoided for about 10 minutes, got beat up for about 30 seconds, then won suddenly. Top that with a boring 1st half and the feel of the movie seeming no longer new (simple effect of it being a sequel), and that made it pretty darn easy for me to enjoy Kick-Ass more.

Well the humor in Kick Ass>>>Iron Man 2; just like ROTF, Iron Man 2 tried too hard. Rockwell and Downey Jr. went way over the top with trying to make every single thing they said hilarious.

Kick Ass had elements of Judd Apatow films so......

Action-wise: Iron Man 2>Kick Ass. Kick Ass 3 really good fight scenes. But the finale in Iron Man 2 with Iron Man & War Machine ripping through drones and fighting Venko kicked ass, was literally breathtaking, easily outdoing anything in Kick Ass. I was on the edge of my seat.

Character-wise: Iron Man>>>>Kick Ass. Kick Ass had only 2-4 memorable characters. All of the major cast in Iron Man was great with the exception of Rourke's character.

Hell, come to think of it, Kick Ass very well might be the better film of the two. It's closer than I initially thought.
