Kick-Ass

[Knightfall]

What do people think? Good or bad?

I saw it the other day and loved it. I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Not quite a 10 out of 10.

Friends of mine have raved about it, but I've not seen it personally because the bad language puts me off.

 

[Krug]

I thought it was okay. It started off well but just became a revenge fantasy; Kill Bill with a tike. The action wasn't really that fantastic for me.

6/10.

 

[Hand of Evil]

7/10 maybe 8/10 - it was a good movie, good story and concept that carried over well to the screen. The language was not as bad as many movies, not by a long shot, just coming from a 11 year old amine killer. The action and violence was great but nothing beyond any other action movie, I was having fun with it until (SPOILER)

Spoiler

the end, it got to me to see Hit Girl have violence done on to her

(end of SPOILER) but then I think that was the reason behind it.

Nothing about Kick-Ass (the comic or the movie) appeals to me enough to see it, even if it were airing on TV.

That's exactly how I felt. It's difficult to watch, but that's the point - this isn't quite as fantastical as it'd have you believe.

I really enjoyed the film, went back to see it again. Awesome fun, and I laughed pretty much all the way through.

 

[Felon]

Y'know, I really wanna hate this movie, because of Mark Millar being a self-aggrandizing jerk, and for being one of those guys who screwed up comics, but I have to admit that I am tempted to see this and I suspect I will enjoy it if I do. I did read "Wanted", and enjoyed it much better than the movie (which is basically a whole different piece of work).

 

[Janx]

I liked the movie. it was funny. Shocking at times, particularly because it was an 11 year old girl doing all that stuff.

In some ways, it was a social statement about why we don't have superheroes.

 

[LightPhoenix]

In general I liked it, but I was a bigger fan of the comic for a number of story reasons (comic and book spoilers):

Spoiler

The big thing I liked better in the comic was Katie; when she finds out he's not really gay, she gets her boyfriend to kick his ass. It's a much more realistic portrayal of what would actually happen.

The other big change was Big Daddy's background. In the comic, the ex-cop story is another disguise, and the suitcase (full of money in the movie) he carries around is a bunch of comments. It calls back to the line about no one thinking about being a superhero before.

Those spoilers said, I enjoyed the ending of the movie better, even though it only works in the context of the movie.

 

[Morrus]

I enjoyed it immensely. It was silly as heck and most entertaining.
