This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I wasn't expecting much but once I started watching and got hooked then I realized that this is the kind of movie which could be fun and still differentiate itself from all that superhero crowd. This is a very different kind of superhero movie because this world has superheroes only in the comics {Just like real life} but our protagonist wants to change the world and make it one where superheroes do exist. The only problem I had was with some fight scenes which were way to shaky to understand whats going on {This is not that bad of a problem} but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and totally recommend this to anyone who wants to see a different kind of superhero movie.

Kick-Ass, a movie from 2010 but still worth to watch !It's about a high school student called Dave, he has a normal life, nothing special or significant until he wants to get a super-hero. But wait this movie is real, there are no super-hero powers and he is just a casual student, not even trained. No spoilers, so watch the movie, I highly recommend it. The combination of Action and Comedy is fantastic. Especially for students this movie will be great. It's related to the every day life of a student in a funny way, full of action. But this is not for kids, definitely not. It's not just Action, there is too much blood and violence for kids, that's why it is for 16 year old. If you didn't watch this movie yet, you should, because you really missed something!

Kick-ass is stylish, fun, daring, and the dark surprise of violence and gore kept the balance of comic teen angst fresh: a delicious perk me up when you were settling into comedy mode. There was never a dull moment in the pace of the film, never a flimsy plot point, and actually the audience guffawed their way through the film. Did I mention it has a cool soundtrack to boot?

Did I mention it has a cool soundtrack to boot? , Kick ass hits that sweet spot. Comprising teen comedy, kick-ass action (sorry) and a healthy dose of comic book style violence and gore, it rocks. I can't read your mind. But I can kick your ass. I can't fly. But I can kick your ass. I can't read your mind. But I can kick your ass. I can't be invisible. But I can kick your ass. I can't see through walls. But I can kick your ass. The cast are really enjoying the story and give a good account with the whole cast I gave this a strong 8/10 and 1hr57mins of violence on new York's streets and meeting the green diy have a go hero makes this film even beter I hope every one enjoys Aaron Taylor-Johnson ...

As we were kids and teenagers, most of us dreamed of being a superhero and saving the world, and Dave Lizewski is no different. Dave is a typical American teenager, that once got a Superhero suit as a present and he tried to fight against crime, and he got famous overnight. Soon he realized it's not easy being a superhero and that's when he meets Hit-Girl and Big Daddy. Hit-Girl is a little bad-ass that fights against and Big Daddy is her father that gets her in the world of crime. If you watch this movie for pure enjoyment, comedy and action you are going to love it. It's some of the most enjoyable movie experiences I had in years. Hit-Girl is the absolute boss in this movie. She reminds me of Mathilda in Leon: The professional a lot. And I also loved its originality. Matthew Vaughn charmed me with this movie, I can't see anybody hating this movie. And if you do, congrats you are a special cookie. Even tho how enjoyable the movie is it does have some problems. I thought the villains fighting skills were neat, but I thought their motivations were shoe-horned and The Red Mist pretending to be this friend of Dave and how he doesn't want "them" to hurt him and by the end, he's fighting him. I think they could've had Big Daddy alive, I thought his death was more like "we need some of the protagonists dead" death.
