[Gemby!]

haha shooting children is funny

[IdolEyes787]

Cool, home movies.

i hope that this movie actually has a satirical element and doesn't just boil down to a lot of silly slapstick. it shows some promise in the trailers (OH HEY McLOVIN IS IN THIS, DAT GUYZ FUNNAY), but i'd like to see a little more... insight... into, you know... deconstruction of superhero cliches and all that junk.

[Totti]

Finally a movie that looks like it will actually be good :) having high expectations for this one

[Karel]

read the comic, which was awesome. Hope the movie wont be half-bad, not expecting much of it tho

[Speedo]

So what?
What do you want to proove?

[clocker]

Ah, the old non-sequetur opening gambit.
A bold move for a stripling...The Force is strong in this one.

[AKB]

Hehehe. That actually looks really good. It makes me want to read the comic after seeing that trailer. Hopefully it's not a disappointment.

[jhowar4]

Read the first few issues and was good. I'll be seeing this one.

[IdolEyes787]

New red band trailer gives a better idea of what the movie is about

The little girl cursing like a sailor is so wrong and so funny.:lol:

[clocker]

I have high hopes for this one.

[doldrum]

Very hilarious and full of all the funny elements.

[IdolEyes787]

I just read? the comics and thoroughly enjoyed them although there are a couple things a definitely hope they change for the movie.

[bilbobaggins]

really hoping for it to be good..

Great Kick- Ass review here

Just saw it today.

All the best scenes are in the trailer.
I hate when that happens.
Moderately entertaining.
The cutting/editing of the action scenes is atrocious.
Darker than I expected and not as funny as I'd hoped.

Characters inexplicably alter to fit the storyline.
There will be a sequel.

It was....OK.

[cinephilia]

americans have odd tastes :unsure:

[IdolEyes787]

Yeah having previously never known anything about Kick-Ass the trailers and the promotion do lead people to believe that it's going to be pretty much a comedy.Even after reading the comics I thought "shit the producers must have just decided to take another route and play up the comedic aspects to make the movie more viewer friendly".
Sadly although they have altered a few key aspects of the comics (notably the ending) ,they really seem to have missed the boat on what was "good" about the books (like the ending and the fact he never got the girl)and simply played to the lowest ,drooling common denominator.

Or maybe I'm totally wrong and what is perceived as being funny these days ( like Seth Rogan's character in Observe and Protect - there is no winking at the camera from that psychopath -there is no disconnect so you can never laugh at the character for the dolt he is.He is just a dangerous person out of touch with reality more William Foster or Travis Bickell than Inspector Closeau )

Anyway as far as Kick-Ass goes it is very much like most movies I see now-a-days - potentially something good but the people in control don't have the talent( or simply don't care enough ) to bring it to life.

Sorry for citing examples but Hurt Locker is a pretty simply story with zero star power and no cgi but there you can see what talent and commitment can create.

I just saw this movie yesterday, and it definitely lives up to its name. If you liked the previews even remotely, this is a must see!

[Frabky]

Awesome.
really awesome.
J.Cage in role of Big Daddy stunningly. :D

[mr. nails]

it was ok. i dug the little girl. she was pretty bad ass. nick coppalas character was cool, but i still don't like the whiny voice of christopher mintz-plasse. lots of action, dark comedy and head shots. 7.5/10

[TBDown]

Finally they Try to make new Story
