http://urllio.com/qz2q1In New York, teenager Dave Lizewski is a loser at high-school, a fan of comic books and ignored at school. He spends most of his time with his friends Marty and Todd who are also comic book fans. Dave has a crush on Katie Deauxma but she in turn does not even notice him. One day, Dave decides to make a difference to his life by becoming a masked superhero named Kick-Ass. In his first superhero role he attempts to prevent a car theft by two punks, but he is inadvertently stabbed by one of them and hit by a car later. Dave is taken to hospital where his bones are fixed with metal. When he recovers, Katie begins to notices him. That night, Dave helps a man being hunted down by three guys in front of a cafeteria, the teenagers record the fight with their cell phone cameras. Then they put the footage in Internet and Kick-Ass immediately becomes famous. Meanwhile the powerful gangster Frank D'Amico believes that Kick-Ass is responsible for actions against his gang and plots a scheme to destroy him.
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
Now being a fan of Matthew Vaughn's last two films, Kick-Ass clearly seemed like his most controversial outing to date, without even comparing it to his other work. Both Layer Cake and Stardust both though enjoyable and well received felt like discrete nods to the distributors that this man can do a fine job of directing no matter what the genre and that he deserves the room for development, since showing he is capable of great potential.<br/><br/>Then came along Kick-Ass, which easily is one of this years must see's, simply because it is nothing and everything like you expect. Example: Expect the costumes to look out of place, expect the C-word bomb from an 11 year old girl and expect a finale that almost makes the end of Kill Bill Volume 1 look like a fairytale. However what wasn't expected was the hilarious conversations between Big Daddy (Nic Cage as a Earless Batman) and his daughter Hit Girl (The awe inspiring Chloe Moretz) and the vast amount of violence, dark humour and the way it walks all over society like another blood splattered corpse of satisfaction.<br/><br/>Dave Livewski (Aaron Johnson) struggles to understand why there is no active costumed vigilante's around in New York to stop crime, and through his comic inspired heroism decides to become Kick-Ass (The hero this time, not the film title). So with his cheesy green wetsuit, determination and lack of social life, Dave's roller-coaster begins. His near fatal experience's doesn't hinder his growing reputation or superhero buddies including Red Mist (Superbad's Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and the infamous father-daughter duo to bringing blood-blitzed peace to a crime-ridden city.<br/><br/>Kick-Ass is a guilty pleasure that people shouldn't be ashamed to enjoy on the basis of the blaspheming and gore infested mass killings. There is a huge amount of likability for the leads who have all done justice to make the most of their characters capabilities; Chloe Moretz deserves particular credit to her notorious role by putting the 'Gonna blow your brains out' in well, just that. Matthew Vaughn has clearly established himself as a man of many talents and after this it's not hard to see why, there is certainly room for a sequel on the horizon, that's for sure.
Well...where do I start with Kick Ass? From start to finish I had the biggest smile on my face! Not roll on the floor, side splitting funny. Just lots of very clever bits and lines that kept me smiling from ear to ear throughout. From the Kleenex line to Nicolas Cages awesome Adam West take off (for those of your that are old enough to remember him!) My jaws hurt every time he spoke! I'm not a huge fan of "McLovin" (he will always be that to me!) but he was cast perfectly for this role.<br/><br/>The guy who played Kick ass, was simply brilliant. He almost had me fooled as an American - great accent and tone used throughout the film, very convincing considering he's very, very English! (Far, far better than Hugh Laurie in House) And now to the star of the Show...Hit Girl! This film will do so much for this young actresses career, and I can't wait to see her in other roles.<br/><br/>All in all I give this awesome film 9/10. Casting, filming, storyline, Acting/ OST 10/10! THE MARKETING FOR THIS FILM 3/10 - That's why I had to knock it down to 9/10 The marketing for this film was truly sh!te, knowbody knows about it! If they need a marketing manager for Kick Ass 2, I would give my left nut to be involved, FOC of course! Well done to everybody involved in this film. Can't wait for the sequel.<br/><br/>JB
For those of us who find somber superhero movies faintly ridiculous, Kick-Ass is a one-film justice league.
Kick-Ass tells the story of Dave "Kick-Ass" Lizewski (<a href="/name/nm1093951/">Aaron Taylor-Johnson</a>), a boy obsessed with the idea of a super-hero. He lives in a world where the only heroes that exist dwell within the pages of comic books ...until Dave decides to change that. Kick-Ass is based on a comic book series of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. The comic series was adapted for the movie by English screenwriter Jane Goldman and British film producer Matthew Vaughn, who also directed the movie. It was followed by <a href="/title/tt1650554/">Kick-Ass 2 (2013)</a> (2013). During the rescue scene, Big Daddy shouts, "Take cover, child. Now switch to kryptonite. Now go to Robin's Revenge." This is a reference to the Batman comics. In one issue, Batman's friend Robin fights a blind villain whose sense of hearing is so strong that he can fight without a problem. Robin uses a whistle to trick the villain so that he can sneak up behind him.

Possibly. They're both gangster's called Cody who drive yellow Range Rovers. They may well be the same character despite him having an American accent in Kick Ass due to his character in Layer Cake being that of a gangster who impersonates different characters... Ergo an American gangster! While the overall story and outline for the movie is the same as the graphic novel, quite a few major changes have been made to either help character motivations or to simply make a slightly happier outcome. A few of the heavy heavy major changes are below:<br/><br/>(1) In the graphic novel, it is not Katie who asks Kick-Ass for help taking care of the low-life drug-dealers at the apartment where Kick-Ass first meets Hit-Girl. It is the ex-girlfriend of the head gang member at the apartment who asks him for the help because her ex-boyfriend keeps harassing her. The said ex-girlfriend of the gang member appears at the end of the graphic novel performing sex acts with Dave's father. This change was probably made in the movie as to a.) keep the plot of the movie more simple by not throwing too many characters and subplots and b.) to get Katie a little bit involved in the conflicts of Kick-Ass.<br/><br/>(2) In the graphic novel, you don't know Red Mist is an insider double-crossing the protagonists until they all meet at a warehouse towards the end, for which, as in the movie, it is revealed that he is the son of John Genovese (the name of the kingpin in the graphic novel, as opposed to Frank D'Amico). In the movie, you know from the get-go that Red Mist is D'Amico's son and is planning to double-cross the protagonists (namely Big Daddy).<br/><br/>(3) Probably the biggest character motivation change is the origin of Big Daddy. While in the movie, Big Daddy really is an ex-cop out for revenge against D'Amico, in the graphic novel, it is revealed in the torture scene that he was only pretending to be an ex-cop turned vigilante, and that in reality, he was an accountant, and that the reason for being a vigilante superhero was, just like Dave, he was a huge superhero comic book fanatic, and that he funded everything for him and Mindy (Hit-Girl, his daughter) by selling a bunch of his old vintage comics he kept locked in a chest from Mindy so Mindy wouldn't know that her father wasn't a cop. He then reveals his motivation for going after the gang and making up the story of his wife's death (who is, in fact, still alive and divorced from him) and his excuse is simply, "We needed a villain." Also, in said torture scene, Big-Daddy's death is a tad bit more gruesome and he dies before Hit-Girl even comes back to the rescue, not being able to say goodbye to him. In the graphic novel, he gets shot in the head with most of his brains coming out, while in the movie he gets burned to death but has time to tell his daughter goodbye. This was probably changed for the movie to give Big Daddy and Hit-Girl real motivation for going after the bad guys and to make the bad guys more, well, bad. Also, because Big Daddy's now ex-wife is revealed to be alive in the graphic novel, it is her (Mindy's/Hit-Girl's mother) that Mindy stays with at the end, not Sgt. Williams like in the movie.<br/><br/>(4) The biggest change overall probably comes at the end with Katie and what happens after Dave reveals himself to not be gay and that he is the real Kick-Ass. In the movie, Dave reveals the truth to Katie before the climax and she then falls in love with him. In the graphic novel, when Dave reveals the truth to Katie, Katie gets really angry and has her new real boyfriend beat Dave up. Afterwards, Katie then repeatedly sends pictures of her performing fellatio on her boyfriend just to make Dave even more miserable. This change garnered the most criticism from fans of the graphic novel, as they believe there was an important moral being told when Katie messed Dave over. However, some of the graphic novel fans do say that the happier outcome works good for the movie because in the long run, it makes the torture scene more emotionally effective, as Katie and many of the city's people are watching Kick-Ass and Big Daddy's torture on the news and Katie is seen crying in fear.<br/><br/>Several minor changes are detailed as follows: Kick-Ass is stabbed after confronting a group of taggers, not carjackers; the setup for the big fight scene where he attempts to recover a cat does not occur; it is Big Daddy and Hit Girl who request Kick-Ass and Red Mist to meet them, not the other way around; there is no such place as Frank's lumber store, and the burning building sequence occurs in a random apartment building where Kick-Ass and Red Mist rescue a trapped cat only to be rescued by firemen themselves; Katie's friend only makes a single appearance and does not even speak; the finale with the bazooka and the jetpack does not occur, instead there is relatively straightforward shootout; John Genovese and Chris (Frank and Chris D'Amico) have very little pagetime at all, as opposed to being major characters in the film; Red Mist is not upset to see Kick-Ass taken and tortured, even going as far as to mention he has had sexual thoughts about his death; Dave's Dad does not simply get over his wife's death, relying on Dave to help him get back into the dating world after a long period of depression. John Murphy, who composed the scores for 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, both of which used "In the House - in a Heartbeat" (albeit under different cue titles in 28 Weeks Later), was indeed the head composer for Kick-Ass. He created a variant of the "In the House..." track for the sequence where Big Daddy fights in the lumber warehouse, called "Big Daddy Kills" on the Kick-Ass soundtrack. A track from Danny Boyle's Sunshine (called Kanada's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio In D Minor)) which also was composed by Murphy, can be heard when Hit-Girl saves Kick Ass and Big Daddy. On the Kick-Ass soundtrack, it's called "Strobe". "Stand up" by The Prodigy, "Hey Little World" by The Hives, and "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett. a5c7b9f00b
