After a fiery internet storm of publicity for Kick-Ass, D'Amico wants to meet the masked man, and his son (Mintz-Plasse) dons a costume of his own and becomes "Red Mist" to befriend him and get in his father's good graces.The story comes to a head when D'Amico succeeds in luring the crime-fighters to his home and ass-kicking destruction ensues.

my favorite movie of 2010 so far. Saw it three times in theaters. It also comes out on my birthday 
Great news, can't wait to buy the blu-ray!
One of my favourite movies of the year so far. I'll be getting this one for sure.
Saw it 4 times and could go a 5th right now. Will buy.
Best movie of the year so far for me. Saw it last week and planning on seeing it at least once more (in theatres, that is). Come to think of it, with this and Bad Lieutenant, Nicolas Cage might have just had the best double bill of his career.

I agree!! I saw it twice - once on opening weekend and then the following week when I made my friend go. He loved it.
Loved Nicholas Cage's Adam West Batman impersonation. It was hilarious!

Not digging the art at all. I didn't care much for the paint of the posters, but at least those looked decent. This just looks messy (unintentionally so).
Very awesome movie. Hit Girl is the best character in film, in perhaps the past ten years. Will be buying this, on day one, if for no other reason to revisit that character. There's nothing like a 12-year-old girl, massacring people, Uma Thurman style.
OMG! THANK YOU! I missed this when it was in theaters. I really wanted to see it. Will give it a rent.
I don't like the cover but this is my second favorite film of the year.
Easily the best film of the year thus far!!! Loved the violence that was so over the top that you couldn't help but laugh at it. Hit Girl is my hero. Definitely will be picking this up. Bring on the sequel.
Cover is pretty damn awful, but this is definitely my favorite movie of the year so far.
Almost every major critic slammed it so I am not sure this is a good movie.
Funny movie. I somehow expected an 'unrated'DVD with more stuff. Ah well, I'll get it though.

Wow all the comments seem to be positive, thats rare.
I really enjoyed Kick-Ass in my local cinema, I had a nagging toothache but it definitely helped ease my pain. It was great to see Nicholas Cage back to his best, Aaron Johnson was fantastic and of course Chloe Grace Moretz stole the show as Hit Girl. Definitely will buy this at some point, certainly has to be one of the best comic book movies of recent time.

Almost every major critic is past their 50's and would feel irresponsible recommending a movie that is this morally reprehensible. Try watching it for yourself.

Nice not the best Artwork though.
This year, it's the only movie that I actually wanted to talk about the next day. Definite purchase.
I'm happy to see all the positive responses in this thread. Kickass was flawed, but overall a really great experience.
Man those covers are pretty damn ugly. gonna be on the lookout for some exclusive cover.

I agree to a certain extent, although I felt the flaws took away too much from the overall flick to call it "great". Very good feels about right for me.
I honestly think that my expectations for it were just too damn high to satisfy. Especially since I went in comparing it to Scott Pilgrim, which was fresh in my mind. I think it'll play much better at home.

Yes best movie of the year. Can't wait to pick this up. I know it doesn't have the extended edition like most were hoping but the movie still "kicks ass" itself. The cover art isn't the best choice but I've seen far worse cover art so I'm not complaining.

I wouldn't say this movie was great. It wasn't terrible either. It was just a good movie. Got my money worth out of it for sure. Just wasn't entirely blown away. (I probably had high expectations)
I would really love to see a Big Daddy & Hit-Girl movie that's for sure. Sign me up!

Especially Roger Ebert. What a pansy. He hated the movie because violence by an 11-year-old was "sickening" and the fact that she swears makes him considered.

This movie rocked! I dont mind the box art either. Will be buying.
I'll add to the choir... my favorite film of the year so far. Too many films this year are taking themselves so seriously, movies are supposed to be fun and over-the-top! Will definitely be buying the Bluray!
