GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Rupert Munn Good fun. The ironic tropes are maybe a little overplayed, the convenience of the plot movements can be a bit cringey, and I always find there to be little emotional weight in the characters, but it is just damn good fun. A lot can be forgiven of a story that just enjoys itself - it's crazy, it's garish, it's full of holes, but it just drives on without leaving you too much time to pull it apart, and by the end you've had a good time. Great set pieces, and generally well acted. Ultimately, it's watchable - and, crucially, rewatchable - and refreshingly straightforward without being lightweight. Not bad at all.
Noah Kick @$$ was a good movie. When it came out I thought it looked like a dumb movie. When I heard that Jim Carry (my favorite actor) would be in the movie I watched the trailer for the second. I only wanted to see it because of Jim Carry. A friend that saw it said that I need to see the first one to understand this one. He let me borrow the comic to read first. I loved it and loved the movie. Second wasn't terrible like others say but not that great. The first has the same concept as the comic but many storyline are changed,but in a good way. In the book Big Daddy told Hit Girl Jonnny (the main bad guy) killed her mom but it turns out he just left her because he felt life was boring. In the Frank (the main bad guy) actually did kill her mom. The movie is funny but not in a ha ha way but more in a irreverent way. The story was good, the action cool, Hit Girl was a bad @$$, and it makes you think that you're watching a Tarenteno movie. If you don't like bloody violence, vulgar language, and dirty humor that kick @$$ is not for you but if you can handle it than watch it.
EBJ 'KICK-ASS' was directed by Matthew Vaughn, stars Aaron Taylor- Johson, Chloe Grace Mortez and Chris Mintz-Plasse and is the story of a teenage boy who tries to become a fully fledged superhero. As his story unfolds, he meets new, amazing friends, make new, despicable enemies and, ironically enough, gets his 'Kick-Assed' multiple times. What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? It's a fast paced, ultra-violent comic book movie starring a bloke in a green suit, a psychotic 14 year old and Batman. It's a fun movie, no doubt about that. It's competently shot, acted, directed and written and I guess I can recommend it. Chloe Grace Mortez steals the show as Hit Girl followed swiftly and competently by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and even Nicholas 'Not the Bees' Cage, who gives a surprisingly great performance , specially considering his recent track record. I do really adore how this movie is essentially Matthew Vaughn flipping off the 'child friendly' genre Superhero films are now seen as today. While it was made a tad bit before films such as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'The Avengers', it still echoes the sentiment of how childish superhero movies have become and did a hilarious satire of the genre, over 6 years before 'Deadpool'.This movie is first and foremost an origin story and it does that job exceptionally well. I know NOTHING about Kick-Ass from any comics so I can't comment on accuracy but I can say it was a great origin that rivals that of 'Iron Man' and 'Batman Begins'. There are some plot threads that aren't solved throughout the movie, none of which I'll spoil but there are a few that, while maybe not needing closure, would have been nice to get closure on.Aaron Taylor-Johnson provides his best performance as the titular character 'Kick-Ass' and made the character so much more interesting that he ought to be. Despite his efforts, Taylor-Johnson was outshone by Chloe Grace Mortez' amazing performance as Hit Girl and stole every single scene she was in. Hit Girl was, easily, the best character in the movie and I could even see a movie being made about her. Nicholas 'HOW'D IT GET BURNED' Cage was surprisingly great as Batman and played his character well. The Human Bear Suit provided a cheesy, fun performance and really smashed home the films tone. While Chris Mintz-Plasse was good as Red Mist, I don't think his character was less necessary to this movie than spray tan is to Supreme Leader Trump. Mark Strong was passable as Frank D'Amico but he wasn't too strong of a villain. Lyndssey Fonseca was very weak as Katie and provides less use than to this movie than the Death Stare did to Clinton's campaign.This movie was mostly well shot and edited but I didn't like some rapid sequences of quick cuts which I personally think harmed the movie more than aided it. The effects in this movie were very mediocre. That costume design, however, is more on point than the costume design of Nazi Germany in WW2. The action for this movie was amazing and it was genuinely hilarious. There were jokes in this movie were I laughed more than I did on 11th August 2014(what I was watching 'Aladdin'). In all seriousness, this movie achieved a genuinely great balance between sorrowful moments and funny moments. One minor gripe I have with this movie is the music. None of the music fit in with the scenes and none of it actually worked well in the movie.In conclusion, this movie is funny, action packed, contains sorrowful moments and is a solid 8/10. I do recommend you see this movie if you can take the ultra violence and enjoy this humour. 8/10Would Recommend
abayomioniyide This has got to be one of my favourite movies of all time. The effects, soundtrack and camera effects is made it a very thrilling and enjoyable movie. Chloe Grace Moretz who played Hit Girl did an absolute sublime job with her acting and also fighting skills. Many critics disagreed with the fact a girl her age was acting in a film that contained scenes of violence and also swearing. However, I believe it's all about the experience and she can definitely used what she learned and pursue it in other films. The saddest moment in the movie was seeing the departure of Big Daddy. He definitely played a crucial part in Hit Girl's life which is why he was specifically remembered the most to me during the production. Aaron Johnson played a great job as Kickass and the approach he took to developing the character is really shown within the movie. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and recommend those who enjoy superhero movies to watch it
