I’m not sure what is worse- the horrible wait for Kick-Ass before I saw it, or the wait to see it a second time now that I’ve experienced the madness. The hype was completely and utterly justified, and no matter how I tried to ignore it before the screening it didn’t matter- this movie fucking nails it. This, coming from someone who read the series immediately afterwards and absolutely hated it. The movie is miles above the source material!
One thing seems obvious, though- they don’t really know how to market this great film. The green band trailer didn’t do a helluva lot for anyone and the red band trailers and clips are giving away almost all of the good moments from the film. Case in point, this clip of Nic Cage tearing shit up as Big Daddy that just debuted on MSN.
I’d almost recommend you not see this because you’re not getting the full experience- it’s pretty heavily edited for time and doesn’t really give you an idea of how amazing and badass it is to see this character in action for the first time, and what it means for the characters watching.
But man, what a scene.

being that mark millar tends to be an egotistical ass and a shameless self promoter i didnt bother with the comic when it came out cause i knew it was only a vehicle for him to use to get the movie made. i did skim through the first issue. thats about it. figured it would make a better movie from the start. i do LOVE superman: Red Son though.
gawd Civil War sucked dick. i got back into comics right when it came out, liked the first issue, the rest were snoozers.
the blond guy getting whipped and used as a sheild looked like millar. I wish.
Alright — not seeing it.
Why is a member of the superhero team (Red Mist) seemingly hanging out with the bad guys towards the end? Is that a SPOILER?
That is his son. Red Mist is the son of the villian. It's not a spoiler
Well…..yeah. Telling people that one of the main characters is the son of the main villain IS actually a pretty big spoiler. So thanks for that.
Looks just as much like juvenile GTA fantasy porn as everything else has so far.
It's not a spoiler. It's not a twist to the story, you know about it beforehand. Stop being a "spoiler!" pussy.
Okay, I get it now. The bizarre hate for this movie has to be trodden toes right? You douchebags all had your own "realistic" superhero idea in the works since you were in high school and this thing has stolen your thunder/chance at glory or is "doing it wrong". Fuck you – you were never gonna finish it and nobody was ever going to read it – you should be happy to be free of the concrete block of ambition around your neck. Go see the movie, enjoy yourself and thank fuck someone has more get up and go than you do.
What is that music playing in the clip?
# 11 – Not sure, but I'm almost 100% certain it was used in one of the 28 Days/Weeks Later movies
Yep- it's called In the House, In a Hearbeat, and it's from 28 Days Later. Love its usage here.
