Quotes
Add a QuoteDamon Macready: So... Have you thought a little more about what you might want for your birthday? Mindy Macready: Can I get a puppy? Damon Macready: [surprised] You wanna get a dog? Mindy Macready: Yeah, a cuddly fluffy one, and a Bratz movie-star make over Sasha! [Damon is stunned] Mindy Macready: [laughs] I'm just fucking with you Daddy! Look, I'd love a Benchmade model 42 butterfly knife. Damon Macready: [relieved] Oh, child... You always knock me for a loop!
Dave Lizewski: Jesus, guys, doesn't it bug you? Like thousand of people wanna be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spiderman. Marty: Yeah, what's with that? She has like no tits at all. Todd: Maybe it's the porn tape, he doesn't have a porn tape. Marty: You guys never saw "One Night In Spiderman"?
Dave Lizewski: With no power, comes no responsibility. Except, *that* wasn't true.
Dave Lizewski: I always wondered why no-one did it before me. I mean, all those comic books, movies, TV shows... you think that one eccentric loner would've made himself a costume. I mean, is everyday life really so exciting? Are schools and offices so thrilling that I'm the only one who fantasized about this? Come on, be honest with yourself, at some point in our lives we all wanna be a superhero.
Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass (narration/voiceover): "In the world I lived in, heroes only existed in comic books. And I guess that'd be okay, if bad guys were make-believe too, but they're not."

Add a CommentTruly the perfect movie. A wonderful blend of humor, action, suspense, drama and of course super heroes! It was surprising to see Nick Cage in this movie but his performance was nothing short of marvelous and the performance of Ms. Moretz (if that's how you properly spell her name) was also out-of-this-world. This was the first movie that I really took notice of her.
Great (tongue-in-cheek) fun !!
Retarded! Didn't watch more than a few min. Very, very, dumb movie!
This movie ROCKED. Definitely not for youngsters. Aaron Johnson (played young John Lennon in "Nowhere Boy") as 'Kick Ass' is a brilliant young & upcoming talent. 13 year old Chloe Grace Moretz absolutely stole the show as 'Hit Girl', shooting up the henchmen to the theme of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western "For A Few Dollars More". (I'll admit I was mildly shocked to hear her swearing 'like a sailor', though.) Nicolas Cage's ('Big Daddy') impression of the original Adam West Batman was hilarious. His & his daughter's hitman/apprentice relationship reminded me of the movie "Leon The Professional". Great soundtrack, too. Ok, enough already. I LOVED this flick. It lived up to its title. FIVE STARS.
I couldn't stop myself from thinking that this was a dumb movie and not funny. Aaron Johnson did not make me sympathize with his character.
GREAT ENTERTAINING MOVIE!
Kick @SS 2: Red Mist
I don't know why I thought this move was good. Maybe it was Aaron Johnson and his those eyes of his.
Joseph and CallicoJack are both right. I enjoyed this movie. The world it takes place in is comic fiction (very pulpy). The characters are comic fiction but with an acknowledgement that anyone wearing a cape and shooting people (for good or bad) is crazy. That seems to be the point of the movie. Superheroes don't exist because if they did, they'd be insane. I don't usually like Nick Cage...he did a great job. Joseph pointing out the Adam West reference sealed the deal for me. Good performance.
This movie was AMAZING! Great actors,plot, characters, scenes everything was great! Period
