I loved this film. Much better then I expected, definitely a 10/10. I bet the parents of Chloe were cringing at some her language hehe but I thought her acting was brilliant.

Ps. Anyone know the tune when

in the warehouse, she blinds the thugs with the light attached to her gun and starts shooting them?

Same tune that is in 28 Weeks Later when dude leaves his wife in that house as he is running towards that boat.

Just saw it. 3.5/10

I thought after the 10-15 first min. that movie was produced by The Asylum http://www.imdb.com/company/co0043571/ :-)

The last 30 min (out of 112 min) get 7/10 for the action. The first 82 min 0/10.

There is no interesting plot. Boring dialog. No acting what-so-ever. Lame special effects.....

It is a see it forget it movie.

The one positive aspect of this movie is : Chloë Grace Moretz .

Kick-Ass was a good movie, but I am honestly absolutely amazed at all the people saying 9 or 10 out of 10, or "movie of the year!" It wasn't anything near that. There were many obvious flaws with the movie.

For one, the main actor, Aaron Johnson, is one of the worst leads I've ever seen in a major motion picture. His acting was pathetic. Chloe Moretz, on the other hand, really carried the movie with her performance. I also thought Nicolas Cage was far better than some of the other posters here are letting on -- he fit the movie perfectly. He was somewhat offbeat, as intended, and really gave you a "what the hell is he thinking?!" kind of vibe, which is how the character was written.

The first three-fourths of the movie seemed to drag on. It tried to give exposition for the movie, but it really didn't help grow attached to any of the characters (besides Hit Girl/Mindy). The action in the end almost made up for it, as it was amazingly well choreographed and shot. Similarly, the sets used for the movie were gorgeous, as was the actual photography -- the colors really popped out, giving it that comic book vibe (but not in a cheap cartoony kind of way).

Overall, it was a good movie, but it really needed more emphasis on the action -- especially since the humor was almost non-existent. The premise was funny, there were a few funny lines (mostly courtesy of Moretz) and some offbeat characters, but the comedy really didn't do much for the film, despite the trailers trying to sell it as a comedy movie with some action thrown in. If it had a better lead and some better pacing (it was very back-heavy in terms of entertainment), it could've been one of the best films of the year. But even still, it was a good flick. If anything, it was a great audition for the director, Matthew Vaughn, and I really can't wait to see what he does with X-Men.

3.5/5

I was laughing my ass off most of the movie, and when I wasn't I was watching awesome action scenes, I don't know how people could not love this movie.

Considering the vast majority of the films released so far this year have been utter **** IMO, this easy makes my favorite film of the year so far. It was hilarious and had some awesome action scenes. It was pure entertainment for me, every scene.

To each their own though :)

I said it was good, I just don't love it. I'm not really sure what was funny about the movie. The first 30 minutes had some funny parts, I gladly admit that (again, Chloe stole the show in those parts, too), but after that there really wasn't anything funny.

Oh, I definitely agree that most films this year have been crap. But I can think of plenty better (in no particular order) -- Inception, Splice, Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2, Get Him to the Greek, Despicable Me, The Ghost Writer, etc. At least those are the ones I would personally rate better off the top of my head from this year.

I agree with you Ayepecks Nicholas Cage & Chloe Moretz definitely carried it for lack of quality on the part of Aaron Johnson. But to be honest I thought that it was more of an intention to portray him more as a loser type that was in a world he didn't belong.

Thats, Strobe (Adagio in D Minor) by John Murphy found on the Kick Ass Score.

    • Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account. 
    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
