Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5

If you're not too put-off by lots of violence and profanity, and enjoy a good action-filled popcorn flick, then chances are you're going to love "Kick-Ass."

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

If 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Kick-Ass gains significant momentum in its second half, once it abandons the arch origin-story material and starts staking a claim as a straight-up action flick.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Fast, funny, and a hell of a lot of fun, Vaughn's film does, indeed, live up to the brash punch of its title.

... It feels fresh, with an edge about it that allows you to think anything can happen to any character at any time.

Most of the lessons in Kick-Ass are juvenile, but Lordy are they stylishly told.

Full Review | Original Score: A

Defiantly irreverent and gleefully violent.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

The movie just decided that thoughtlessness and splatter was its own reward. I'm okay with that.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Never has a title been so true, so funny, and so simple as that of Kick-Ass.

Kick-Ass is so refreshingly iconoclastic, it's a wonder it was made at all.

Kick-Ass is such an exciting, refreshing development in comic book filmmaking that I want to shout it from the rooftops

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

Kick Ass is about as exciting as movies get. Not just because it is a (mostly) anarchic splatter-fest that celebrates (nay, encourages) acts of ridiculous violence, but also the fact that it was made completely outside of the studio system.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A bait-and-switch movie that lucks out because its switch is so much more appealing than its bait.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Your appreciation will depend in how much you can appreciate it's utter wrongness as a twisted virtue.

Uma diversão atípica: choca e provoca o riso na mesma medida, conseguindo também privilegiar seus personagens sem jamais sacrificar a história.

Finally, a comic-book superhero movie for people who are sick to death of comic-book superhero movies.

A serviceable two hours with some entertaining moments...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Kick-Ass speaks volumes about where our entertainment is heading. We can either take noisy offense or go along for the grisly and giddy ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

it doesn't follow a formula, but...there is a certain point in the movie where things do start to become a little conventional.
