Kick-Ass is an upcoming superhero film based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, produced by actor Brad Pitt and will premiere April 16, 2010 in the United States, and April 2, 2010 in the United Kingdom.
Plot
The plot of Kick-Ass concerns a teenage boy, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to become a real-life superhero after being inspired by the heroes of comic books. He soon encounters a mysterious vigilante called Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and his daughter Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz), who are working to bring down the local drug baron Frank D'Amico. He also meets another vigilante, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who has been inspired by Kick-Ass'.
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.
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.
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:
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......
