"How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero?" When Dave Lizewski -- ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic-book geek-- dons a green-and-yellow internet-bought wetsuit to become the no-nonsense vigilante, Kick-Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own question: because it hurts. But, overcoming all the odds, the eager, yet inexperienced, Dave quickly becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public. However, he's not the only superhero out there.

I was disappointed in this film, I heard lots of hype but I didn't think it was that great.

to me thais was an unexpected gem of a movie. IMO it was just as not only hilarious but had a quality plot and conclusion aswell. Chloe Moretz(Hit Girl) easily the best superhero in the movie.

Had heard alot of hyoe about this so my expectation were high but it still didnt disappoint. Very funny in places as anything with Cage is going be. Hit girl is a hit too. Good action and more violence than I expected. Definitely worth a look.

This movie started off really good, love the idea that an ordinary person becoming a super hero I mean who doesn't but after about the first 30-40 minutes things get serious way too fast! I mean heres a guy trying to protect a girl he likes and all of a sudden an 11 year old girl is killing guys left right and centre without the blink of an eye! After that the movie went from bad to pure awful! Was a waste of 2 hours of my life!

A real look at what would happen if somebody did become a real caped crusader...ish. Surprisingly funny work by Nic Cage, which is a return to his roots & earlier performance like Rasing Arizona. He might do better sticking to what he knows best.

Funny in a gruesome way from start to finish. I hope there is a sequel and that it stays loyal to the original.

A very good film with some hilarious moments & one-liners. Hitgirl is a fantastic character and Nic Cage does a great impersonation of Adam West. Really well worth a watch.
