  WHAT A TOTALLY UNEXPECTED TRIP.....

  by lovestalentmoviefan

  ...so much so that it obliterates any of the normal objections I have for some R rated material. I don't know if i am open minded enough to see my children in roles like this,but I sure am glad some parents were,because this is at the top of my list for pure cinematic brainstorm. Oh,and I have never had the soundtrack of a movie make such an impact on me. And I am pretty attuned to that venue of film-making. I think it is best to go in not know anything,except not to bring any children, and let this piece of art blow you away..All actors spot on...lead admittedly didn't have alot to make him stand out,but that's who Kick *** is. Hit Girl,Big Daddy and Mark Strong (forget character name) were award winning exceptional and brave from what I know now must have been controversial roles to accept.From the kidnapping to the end,you will have to remind yourself to breathe.violence/language/mild sexual

  Oh yes! Go now!

  by keatsgirl

  What are you waiting for. Expect to see things you don't think "little kids" should be doing-----and enjoy. It's only a movie!!!! Since the script was out there,and young actors are playing these roles anyway,accept it. The child super heroes lived their respective roles amazingly well. In concert with appropriately backdrop and dead-on adult performances, epic cinematography, and a pitch perfect soundtrack...you will not be disappointed. Soak in the hard work and talent,know what the film is supposed to be,and just love it!

  Just saw for the 3rd time!

  by LTMF 2

  Barring the element of surprise from 1st time,it was even better! Miss Chloe(hit girl) is going to knock our socks off in the future! Really need to mention the soundtrack again,it was like it's own character. Story is fun and meaningful at the same time...something original,which is hard to come by in an era of sequels and remakes. Mr.Cage and Mr.Strong handled supporting roles with impact that incited deep empathy,yet at the same time gave full stage to their younger co-stars. This is not my kind of movie...at all..popcorn type favorites are GWTW, Donnie Brascoe,and more recently,Remember Me and It's Complicated.I guess i just want it to be clear that this movie is a brilliantly executed myriad of talent and thought. It made me forget about the things I normally criticize like the teacher fantasy,etc.Language and violence from children is hard to watch...but i just realize it's fiction and their jobs....cause anything less would have made this markedly inferior.

  This instant cult classic is an audio/visual feast!

  by birac

  You will be shocked,you may want to get judgmental,but if you are honest,you will applaud the work and intelligence in this unexpected success.Can't for the life of me figure out what happened at box office this weekend. Spread the word to true cinephiles.... this visceral shock of a movie warrants theater viewing. Extra points to Nicholas Cage and Mark Strong for their vivid interpretations of respective characters,as well as 'framing' the younger actors performances so succinctly. Very offensive in language and violence area if you have concerns.However,in this movie,none of it was obligatory or distractring. It was needed to convey what the comic and film were all about.GO-SEE-KICKASS-TODAY.

  Kick-Ass: Love and Hate

  by DaBigMang

  As a fan of the comic book, I was loving every minute of this film. I was fortunate enough to be at Wizard World Chicago 2009 when they first introduced exclusive footage with Mark Millar to the public. I highly respect Millar and his crew for taking the time to get the proper funding from the proper people and also being uncompromising in his vision for the movie; which was to stick to the original comic book issues as source material. It isn't often these days that something like this happens. Usually there is a lot more give and sponsors get in the way of a movie's integrity; or the ratings board gets into the way of a movie's integrity.
  
  If you are not into violence, vulgar language, and reality-based crime drama then you can forget going to see this movie. However, if you have an open mind about these things and are loosened up enough to possibly enjoy the humor along with the other elements of this movie, you might enjoy this.
  
  I don't recommend this for children under 13.

  Adults that want to screen their children from violence and profanity: DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS TO SEE A MOVIE CALLED KICK-ASS!

  by Cjcleo4

  Where do people get off saying Hollywood is trying to get children to see R-Rated movies? First of all, they wouldn't be able to get in on their own, especially to a movie as graphic as Kick-Ass. Second, what parent in their right mind would take their little kid to see a movie called Kick-Ass?? Use your brains, and stop trying to blame the media for your lack of awareness and common sense. That totally grinds my gears, just like when Watchmen came out and parents were upset by the portrayal of the characters.. Umm HELLO, it was based off a GRAPHIC** novel, and was rated R. Why would you bring your children to something rated R and expect to see something less? Besides comic books aren't really for kids if you actually read most of them. So yes, you're right for saying not to bring your children to something like Kick-Ass; instead, find a babysitter, bring your friends, and enjoy and epic and hilarious movie

  Kick Ass

  by KJlovesmovies

  Movie showed some extreme violence, but given the context of the story, it seemed appropriate. The underlying themes of revenge against injustice and the battle of good and evile justified the violence. I would want Hit Girl to be my friend, not my enemy, and I could see myself adopting her, but her character provides the comic and edgy components to the storyline. Worth seeing if you can handle blood and adolescent geek humor.

  I set up another username to ask a question!

  by gmorning

  What the heck happened to the popularity of this movie.Judging from these reviews and EVERYBODY I know,this movie totally rocks. Now,hear my guess,and see if you agree... I think the word is out that there is extremely hard language and violence involving ooooh...a little girl. Ok,yet the same people who shun this movie for this reason have no problem with the fact that there are movies out that INFLUENCE little girls in life,like thinking sex is fine right away with anyone,or that they have to have perfect body types and dress like little streetwalkers to get attention or that talking like a mechanic is pro forma for young ladies these days. And my favorite,drugs and drinking are simply a right of passage. Where is the consistency???? AM I WRONG? would love some ideas from other fandango friends.......

  Kick-*** truly does kick ass, but mostly thanks to Hit-Girl!!!

  by TheBearJew\m/

  I have never seen a superhero film like Kick-Ass. It's a raunchy, graphically violent, and hilarious ride that I truly enjoyed taking. The story is about a kid who attempts to be a superhero named Kick-Ass. Aaron Johnson plays the role and pulls off the nerd-turned-superhero to a good degree. But, the star of this show was Chloe Moretz as Hit-Girl. In any scene that she was in, she was either swearing her 12-year old mouth off, or senselessy killing bad guys to a bloody pulp. Her parts of the film were truly epic and fun to watch. Her dad was played by Nicolas Cage , who was Big Daddy, who combined funny and bad*** all in one. The combo of Hit Girl and Big Daddy was great chemistry. McLovin (I mean Christopher Mintz-Plasse) continues his hot streak of films, this time as Red Mist. Mark Strong was also great in his role as the villain and Red Mist's father. And the bombshell who falls for Kick-*** was smokin' hot. Kick-*** truly does kick ass.

  Kick A** Kicked A**

  by Mari's_Love

  Wow I have to say that this movie rocked 100%! So far this has to be the best movie I've seen all year, I also think that it had such a good story line. I was one of the first people to see the movie last night, and at first going into it I didn't think it would be that good, I mean come on how good could a movie titled kick *** be, super good that's how good it was. The movie was so good infact I'm going to see it again today too. Go see this movie I'ts worth the money and worth the fun this movie shows what a true super hero should be like , I loved it so much and so will you, I promise, go see it ;)

  CLASSIC!!!

  by jared23

  Obviously you wouldn't take your kids to go see an R rated movie so quit talking trash about the best movie of 2010. I have never written a review for any movie but I just got out of this movie and had to write one. THIS MOVIE IS A CLASSIC for sure!!! If you like action shoot em ups, comedies and a lil bit of love stories (not much) well this is a must see! It had me laughing the whole way through even when peoples heads were getting blown off! Best comedy I've seen in a while! I'm gonna see this again and next time I'll bring my 5 year old daughter!! AWESOME!!!!

  not for little ones but for older ones its really close to the comic book!

  by hiccup11

  Went to see KICK *** with my 14 year old last night for the midnight showing We had a great time and walked out comparing it to the comic book. I read the book a few months ago, when we started getting excited about KA coming out. Yeah, there is violence. Yes there is swearing. And yes, there is a child dropping some great one liners. But if you go in with the attitude that you are about to watch a "comic book" that is what you get!
  I wouldn't take any one under the age of 12. Unless you want to explain masturbation...

  Nonstop Action

  by jpom81

  This movie is definitely not for little kids! It is fast paced and has a great plot line, but is extremely gory and violent, and a bit corny in some parts.

  Kick Ass!

  by Gingir_ Rocks

  While the hero in our story turned out to be kind of a wimp and the promo's lead us to believe the villan wasn't actually the villan the main reason to see this movie is Hit Girl! Full of laughs, lots of fun. Great for a date! Guys get their violence, girls get their romance and both get a huge dose of comedy.
