One of the best movies of 2010. But it didn't do well at the BOX OFFICE and might not get a well deserve sequel. ... I am also glad that the Director didn't go for PG13 bulls**t to get the most REACH.

This movie KICKS ASRSE!

I actually really hated the Sunshine soundtrack being used in this movie. In Sunshine it brought an even bigger feeling of awe to the scenes it was played in, but here it was just overbearing.

this movie F'ing ROCKS SO MUCH ASS!! i've watched it 5 times within a month. i loved it that much. the reusing/remix of John Murphy's SUNSHINE "Adagio in D min" and "In a Heartbeat" from 28 DAYS LATER works perfectly in this movie and this has some of the best action segments i've ever seen. Hit-Girl OWNS all!! i highly recommend this movie.

Good movie.  Fun in places, a little slow in others.  An amalgamation of several comic book heroes and colorful posers made this passable movie at best.  Sometimes forced yet inventive in places.  Plot and story line was a bit tired and overused in my book.  Hardly original.  Didn't really see why so many people got all hot and bothered over it but who knows.  As long as people have fun at the movies, that's all I care about.  KA is not going to make into the collection.  There wasn't enough there for multiple viewings.  The DVD artwork is pretty cool.  I'd like to see limited editions featuring each of the characters on seperate DVDs for marketing purposes.  I'm sure everyone has their favorite.  

The young girl stole the movie, while the male lead (aaron johnson) felt more or less in the way.

Good stuff, especially the last 20 minutes.  

Ebert's review is not a surprise. Ebert is one of the best and most important film critics of all time, but he also has knee-jerk reactions to 'offensive' subject matter, in the way many older liberals seem to think that the masses will always react incorrectly. He's famous for tirades against slasher films in the '80s, and gave Fight Club a negative review because he was afraid the film would lead to copy cat crimes. The movies that last he usually turns around on eventually. I can't say Kick-Ass will last, but he's expressed some regret in his reactions to Night of the Living Dead over the years.

This is my favorite movie of the year, but just out of curiousity moviewizguy, what's your first?
It's a little movie called How to Train Your Dragon. Seriously, it's a fantastic movie.

This movie was the first I reviewed for my friend's website (http://therogersrevue.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/...) and I wound up seeing it twice more in theaters after that first press screening. Can't wait for this one on Blu-Ray! Also, director Matthew Vaughn has already said there will be an extended director's cut coming to video soon...

does anyone have any information on a possible unrated directors cut to be released at a later time???

Saw it three times in the cinema and it still mesmerized me beyond belief. Favourite film of 2010 by far. Also, one of the best cinematic experiences i've ever had.

OMG, it's a bloody movie!
But it's fun so sue me.

Or maybe the marks were done just to show the comic styling. The cover also brings out the dark tone of the film and it immediately tells parents it isn't for kids.

I'm not interested in buying this film, but I think it's really good.

Nice review, and your response to Ebert mirrors my thoughts in a better way than I could've conveyed them.

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.

Nice not the best Artwork 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.

Funny movie.  I somehow expected an 'unrated'DVD with more stuff.  Ah well, I'll get it though.

Cover is pretty damn awful, but this is definitely my favorite movie of the year so far.

I don't like the cover but this is my second favorite film of the year.

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.

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!

Saw it 4 times and could go a 5th right now. Will buy.

Great news, can't wait to buy the blu-ray!
