Kick-Ass

A beautiful film. One of the last films where watching certain scenes in the movie theater really gave me chills. The scene in the warehouse is simply captivating, and every time I've seen the film again, at least twice if I'm not mistaken, it completely captivated me. A wonderful example of how a comic book in a film can look great, mainly because of the excellent source material and the selection of great actors. The casting was perfect. Here I fell in love with Chloë, purely platonically, because I admire her as an actress. Every time I remember that amazing scene in the warehouse, it gives me chills again. (10/02/2014)

Kick-Ass and the ultimate Slaughter. Kick-Ass works with the usual themes but in a way you've never seen before. Vaughn is full of ideas, and every action scene is a dream come true for fans of action movies (a shootout in the dark, Daddy's action scene, the final showdown) and each has its own specific atmosphere. The actors are all excellent and, most importantly, NICOLAS CAGE is back (yes it has to be written in all-caps, because his Daddy is a return to major league acting). And we no longer have Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft but Chloe Moretz as Hit-Girl. And as a fan of Lost, I just can’t help myself... I'll catch up with it, ha ha. Unless I have a heart attack tomorrow. Bazooka? (22/05/2010)

I didn't expect that a film of this kind could surprise me so pleasantly. Kick-Ass is a hundred-minute dose of funny scenes that may not have made me laugh, but I admired their sophistication and visual artifice. The whole film is accompanied by a hyped-up soundtrack, set aptly in the plot. And for the first time in a while I can say that I didn't find a single moment in an American comedy somehow disgusting (like American Reunion and and other similar bullshit). Finally! The cast is universally good, Mark Strong was great as the villain, and young Chloë Grace Moretz was as brutal as Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. I don't require blood in a movie, but here it spurts with such "elegance" that you don’t even think about it. Like I said, it has a bit of Kill Bill and Sin City about it, but it's better. It may not have the layers of Matthew Vaughn's previous Stardust, but I don't regret the time I spent watching it. (23/05/2010)

I wasn't really into the first half hour, but after that, damn, if Kick-Ass Lolitas are starting to be in vogue, hell, why not, here's a great one :-D Mindy rullezzzz! I see it's set for a sequel, and I don't think I will have any problems watching it. A film for Sunday afternoons when you don't want to shed tears but land punches :-) (02/05/2010)

A brutally badass film with action scenes that kick the crap out of most "serious" competitors through their imaginativeness and artistic design. Yet, in a way, Kick-Ass is a serious film that may often rely on pure Tarantino brutality and pulp orgies, but at its core the film has a pure heart full of courage and civility. I could find a few things that do not seem completely kosher to me, but I refuse to spoil the joy of this pure film feast that Matthew Vaughn cooked up. Kick-Ass has balls like Jirka Lábus and, thanks to some of the scenes (strobe shootout, Big Daddy's purge, Kick-Ass's painful initiation) I rank this wild ride amongst the best comic book adaptations of all time. This is also because the creators were able to get a royal portion of comic book freedom and playfulness. Who will do better this year? OK, cunts, let’s see what you can do now! (05/05/2010)
