Leave your thoughts about Kick-Ass.
| Hollywood.comBrian SalisburyKick-Ass expertly blends side-splitting humor with bone-shattering action and the result is something endlessly entertaining. It will do for superheroes what Zombieland did for the undead. |
| TechlandSteven SnyderYou can tell from scene 1 this was made by someone with vision and conviction, willing to risk offending some so he could wow others. This is no film-by-focus-group. Thank God |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA wonderfully unlikely amalgam of Hong Kong-era John Woo and Shaolin Soccer/Kung Fu Hustle-era Stephen Chow |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeTaken on its own delightfully twisted terms, it is bold and uncompromising. It knows its audience, and delivers a fable for the ages, deliciously uncensored. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe film is post-modern surgery into the superhero myth, driving a scalpel into the warped logic of misanthropic killers who masquerade as civic do-gooders. |
| Gazette (MD)Jeffrey Lylesa fun experience and one of the best representations of the genre put to the big screen yet. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldGiles HardieKick-Ass is ultra-funny, ultra-silly and ultra-geeky, but what Kick-Ass mostly is, is monumentally cool - this is the film the kids will be swearing about. |
| ReviewExpress.comJean LowerisonThe funniest, tongue-in-cheekiest, most outrageous version of a superhero ever. |
| Las Vegas CityLifeMatt KelemenKick-Ass is so refreshingly iconoclastic, it's a wonder it was made at all. |
| TheShiznit.co.ukAli GrayIf you want to get serious, you could say that Kick-Ass is the movie that could finally drag comic-books into the credible mainstream. But being serious is to miss the point of Kick-Ass completely. |
