Product Description
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).

The movie boasts a strong cast, including Nicholas Cage and a very young Chole Grace Moretz as "Big Daddy" and "Hit Girl" respectively, which are most definitely a takeoff on Batman and Robin. Moretz's character is the main reason that the movie is not for kids as pretty much every word out of her mouth is a swear word. You could tell she was having a ball being able to use the kind of language she was not allowed to in "real life" at the time. The rest of the case included Christopher Mintz-Plasse who is best known for his role as McLovin in the movie Superbad, Lyndsy Fonseca, Evan Peters, and Mark Strong, who basically plays a mob boss. The movie is over the top violent (mostly with tongue firmly planted in cheek) and does have some sexual situations, but no outright nudity.
For those who get the Blu-Ray, the movie looks and sounds great in the HD format. The extras include a commentary track with the director and a BonusView mode that combines the director commentary track with clips of interviews with members of the cast and crew and behind-the-scenes footage. There is also a making-of documentary that clocks in at just under two hours, but it is split into four parts so you don't have to watch the entire thing in one sitting. Then there is a twenty-minute feature on the comic book the movie was adapted from, a photo gallery, and trailers for the movie, including the Red Band trailer.
The movie is definitely not for everyone. As I said it is very violent and certainly having a twelve-year-old spouting profanity and killing people left and right will turn a lot of people off to the movie. So, if you are one of those, it is best not to even consider this. If, however, you are generally a fan of superhero/comic book movies and also like spoof movies (which this sort of is, although not in the "scary movie" franchise) and do not take it too seriously, this is a fun movie.
I was talking with some co-workers and they told me they thought it would be like "Mystery Men". Though I like that movie too, this movie has more in common with "the Matrix" than "Mystery Men". I told them that before I saw it, and I was right. This movie is a kind of a kind of a Kill Bill version of Spiderman with more humor added. There is lots of comic relief, and that comedy is essential to the plot and pacing of the movie as a whole, but this is NOT simply a comedy. It IS, however, a boatload of FUN!
It is essentially the meshing of two stories that both have the same premise: "What would happen if someone actually tried to be a super hero?"
In one story we get the tale of an everyman high school kid who loves comic books. He wants to "put on a suit and help people". He's a dreamer that means well, but is generally incompetent. So this part of the story is based on what happens when his fantasy gets smacked in the face by the cold hard fist of reality.
The second story is the tale of a competent and smart man that is horribly wronged and seeks revenge. The catch is he has a very young daughter. Like Lone Wolf and Cub he decides to take her with him on his planned journey to hell, only he is smart enough to give her the tools she will need to survive the trip. This part of the story is simple and pure, and you have seen it many times before. The film makers wisely don't embelish it to much, but we do get some exposition and notworthy scenes. Most of this story is left in subtext.
So, what happens when the two stories collide? AWESOMENESS! This is written and performed so well that the stories simply mesh without clashing. I have never seen anything pull this off so well. There are plenty of gritty semi-realistic action scenes, and a little bit of ridiculousness thrown in for good measure. This movie Satisfies with a capital S. The violence is slightly more graphic than the Matrix, but not as intense as Sin City, 300, or Kill Bill. Yes, profanity is there, but there are not as many F-Bombs being dropped as I have seen reported. It's just that much of the profanity comes from the mouth of an 11 year old girl... (Which by the way should not even be allowed to SEE this movie for another 4-5 years!) You should definitely watch it before you allow any child of yours under 16 see it! COME ON! Be a parent already!
I want to add: I saw the Dark Knight movie and I recognized it was a groundbreaking piece of work, but when I left the theatre afterward I just felt depressed. Where was the fun? It was a good movie, but I did not enjoy it, and have not seen it since. Kick-Ass is both an awesome movie and a GREAT TIME! I left the theatre just thinking how soon could I see it again, and who could I share it with next time.
There is at least one reviewer that panned this film because it was not EXACTLY the same as the graphic novel. I used to be like that too, but now I realize that some things work better on the big screen than in a book. He lists the changes, and from what he states, I think I like the movie better than the book. I never read the graphic novel and I am glad I saw the movie first. From his description, I may have skipped the movie had I read the comic first. He complains and gripes that he hates when movies change comics. This is unwarranted. I have seen an interview with the writers that basically state that the screenplay was written more or less concurrently with the comic, just that Millar was primary in writing the comic while Vaughn was primary in writing the screenplay. They collaborated throughout on both, and a movie was always in mind. So, that comic book "purist" needs to get a life! THIS MOVIE ROCKS!
The director needs to do more films, and he, Chloe Moretz and Nicholas Cage deserve Oscar nods, but it won't happen. Hit Girl is written to steal the show, but it could not have been done so well without Chloe's dead on performance. There is not a bad performance in this film. Leave the kiddies at home.

キック・アスも前例に漏れずその通りの作品。
ニコラス・ケイジがいい演技してる。クロエが子供で可愛いながら狂ってて最高な作品。
18+ rating is due to Language & Violence. Be prepared for the F... word to be spoken near every 2 scenes. As for Violence, you will see many body parts being cut off with lots of blood.
Buy this DVD only if the above doesn't bother you and you love teenage action.
Bien sur le film de Matthew Vaughn reste assez fidèle au comics de John S Romita Jr& Mark Millar. Il peut être vu comme un simple spectacle: attention la violence est omniprésente, aussi, le public sera ado ou plus âgé; un big daddy jugera le film "visible" pour l'enfance, d'autres l'œuvre trop sanguinolente;
les 2 Bluray sont encodés à merveille:
-1er disque, commentaire audio du réalisateur, le making of, le comic book kick ass, & les galeries d'images
-2éme disque, le réalisateur visionne et commente kick ass, documentaire sur le tournage, interview des acteurs, bandes annonces, et quelques surprises...
j'attends la suite à cette aventure dans un prochain film!
Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2023
Il ne faut pas se voiler la face, ce film a un côté kitsch limite ringard qui ne plaira pas à tout le monde.
Mais si vous lui laissez sa chance, Kick Ass pourrait bien vous surprendre et vous embarquer dans son univers qui est à la fois fun et profond.
Déjà le rythme est soutenu et on ne s'ennuie pas une seule seconde.
Ensuite les combats sont spectaculaires, parfois sadiques et quelques fois pas très crédibles il faut bien l'avouer.
Mais c'est parfois tellement kitsch et émouvant que vous vous laissez entraîner malgré vous.
Et à y regarder de plus près, ce film est plus qu'une simple caricature d'ados mal dans leur peau qui jouent à être des super-héros.
Car ce film traite de sujets sombres mais ô combien actuels comme le harcèlement scolaire, le racket, l'exclusion sociale et la solitude entre autres.
Au niveau des acteurs, je les ai trouvés vraiment excellents et kitsch à la fois. Aucun n'est moins bon que les autres et ils assurent tous comme on dit.
Pour ma part, Kick Ass a été une belle découverte et je le recommande sans hésiter.
Les 4 étoiles sont largement méritées.
