Product Description |

“How come nobody’s ever tried to be a superhero?” When Dave Lizewski – ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic-book geek – dons a green-and-yellow Internet-bought wetsuit to become the no-nonsense vigilante Kick-Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own question: because it hurts. But, over coming all the odds, the eager yet inexperienced Dave quickly becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public. However, he’s not the only superhero out there – the fearless and highly trained father-daughter crime-fighting duo, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, have been slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of local mafioso Frank D’Amico. And, as Kick-Ass gets drawn into their no-holds-barred world of bullets and bloodletting with Frank’s son Chris, now reborn as Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis Red Mist, the stage is set for a final showdown between the forces of good and evil, in which the DIY hero will have to live up to his name. Or die trying… |

The cinematic equivalent of a half case of Red Bull chased with donuts, Kick-Ass is a giddy, violent experience--and not your average superhero movie. Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., it offers a set of heroes who are decidedly without superpowers: Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides he'll be just like a comic-book character, and puts on a ridiculous green suit to fight crime as the mysterious Kick-Ass. Luckily, somebody else had the same idea and comes along to rescue the incompetent crusader: Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), who also happen to be running around town wearing masks and vanquishing evil. And here we have the movie's masterstroke: Hit Girl, a pint-sized preteen who slaughters bad guys and swears like a sailor on leave (and was the focus of a measure of controversy when the movie was released). The main target of our heroes is a gangster (Mark Strong, Sherlock Holmes), whose neglected son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, McLovin from Superbad) figures he might just pull on a costume himself and become… Red Mist! (One of the many funny things about Kick-Ass is that the superhero names are hopelessly lame.) Director Matthew Vaughn is operating at the same glib level as his Layer Cake, with cutesy song cues galore and a freewheeling appetite for cartoon violence. This means the movie's high wears off quickly, but it does get high--a crazy, hilarious (and by the way: decidedly R-rated) kick. All that, plus Nicolas Cage executes a deadly Adam West imitation when he pulls on his cape and cowl. That's entertainment. --Robert Horton

Great Movie! Highly underestimated! |
|
I didn't expect this movie to be as good as it was going to be. I thought it was going to be some corny wanna be super hero type teen movie but it was actually a very good action flick because of the great action performance of Nicolas Cage (Big Daddy) and especially Chloe Grace Moeretz (Hit Girl). WOW! Hit girl really made the movie with her amazing fighting and assassination skills so this movie really reminded me alot of Kill bill. So if you liked Kill Bill, you definitely going to like Kick-Ass mostly because of the Hit Girl character. The only thing that dissapoints me about the blu-Ray is that it doesn't have any cool extras or deleted scenes that I could really enjoy but like I mentioned before the movie is still worth the purchase. |

foul |

A foul mouth little girl (GREAT!) This is what is wrong with movies today. NO MORALS. I question the morals of anyone who enjoys a little girl cussing and doing killing as enterainment. This is what's wrong with our youth today. |

Great Movie |
|
I really wasnt sure what to expect with this movie, but after watching it all I can say is wow. This is definitely one of the better movies Ive seen in a long time. All the lead characters did a good job with Hit Girl as a big stand out. I really hope they do a sequel. |

Hit Girl is great |
|
Kick-Ass is a Great ultraviolent movie! If you liked Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama) age 17 in Kill Bill, you will love Hit Girl/Mindy Macready (Choloe Grace Maretz) age 13. She elegantly dispatches innumerable villains with a variety of weapons in this controversial movie that may be the best film of 2010. See it if you dare. |

Pretty much its own genre |

This is the best fake-super-hero-who-stumbles-upon-a-crime-syndicate-that-ruined-the-career-of-a-cop-who's-now-seeking-vengeance-by-training-his-pre-pubescent-daughter-to-be-a-lethal-killing-machine movie that I have ever seen. The script is clever, the action is intense, and the violence is cartoonishly operatic. I was disappointed to see Nicolas Cage (hands down, my least favorite actor, especially since he robbed Sean Penn of his first Oscar--I mean, "Leaving Las Vegas," REALLY? Anyway, I digress...) in this film, but I was satisfied with his fate. I'm not usually a fan of violent chopsocky flicks, but "Kick-Ass" was definitely a cut above--not your run-of-the-mill wannabe teenage superhero flick at all--I'm eager for the sequel. |
