Plot Summary
A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings "Kick-Ass" to the big screen. "Kick-Ass" tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Fast, periodically spit-funny and often grotesquely violent, the film at once embraces and satirizes contemporary action-film cliches with Tarantino-esque self-regard -- it's the latest in giggles-and-guts entertainment.
Fresh: A mosh pit of a comic-book movie that dares you to dive into its anarchy.
Rotten: When filmmakers nudge a child into viewing savagery as slapstick, are we not allowing them to do what we condemn in the pornographer -- that is, to coarsen and inflame?
Fresh: Kick-Ass is a compendium of all sleazy things, and it sings like a siren to our inner Tarantinos.

hit girl
to me hit girl was the real star of the movie especially her shooting part at the end i mean sure they had a controversy over her character but her fighting killing and language skills really made the movie very exciting
Watch This Movie
Loved the movie, it was so funny. Can't wait to see it again!!!!! Oh and Hitgirl was the best, she kicked a*s!
It did
This so far is my favorite movie of the year so far. I could watch it a billion times and it would never grow old, I've seen it 3 times in the theatre already, and it has been as fresh as the first time I saw it, every time i see it. I'll buy it in HD tomorrow.
