If you have a strong stomach and a twinkle in your eye you'll have a grand time at KICK ASS. If not, well, go back to your Tea Party.  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-01-2010 08:41 PM                     Best summer movie of the year so far and it wasnt even released in the summer. Breezy funny fun lil action movie. Everyone in the cast did their bit, including Cage with his funny 60s era Adam West as Batman diction. the marketers did a lousy job selling this movie.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-22-2010 12:09 AM                     I watched Kick Ass on Blu-ray. Screwed around and ended up waiting too long to see it at the theater. So I had to wait for the Blu-ray. Pretty good movie. 3 out of 4 stars. I deducted one star for some of the movie's predictability. It had enough unusual and entertaining flair to at least be worthy of a strong 3 star rating. Even though Kick Ass is the main character, Hit Girl steals the show. Certain critics were very put off by an adorable 12 year old girl talking with a very foul mouth, dishing out lots of mayhem and also getting shot, brutally beaten, etc. But that's actually part of what makes this movie work. The girl is tiny but has one hell of an attitude. The Blu-ray has a DTS-HD Master Audio trailer. Never saw that before.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

That should give you an idea how I originally regarded this film. When it was released on video, I had absolutely no interest in renting and watching the movie until Robert Harris of all person strongly recommended the film at the Home Theatre Forum. Yes, you are all correct when you say it a fantastic and entertaining movie. Like Bobby, I saw it on a rented Blu-Ray disc from Blockbuster but will eventually buy a copy when the price comes down drastically as a sale item because it is a movie that makes you want to watch more than once like the KILL BILL films. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
