Extras: Commentary Featurettes Interviews Photo Gallery Scene Access Storyboard Comparisons Trailers My Thoughts: A great movie! Tom Hanks is perfect in the role. He manages to carry this movie all by himself. He should have gotten the Oscar at the time. Not Russel Crowe.There are some scenes, where I can't help myself but to think of the MTV Movie Awards parody with Andy Dick which was done at the time. Rating: (From December Marathons - DISCUSSION AND REVIEW THREAD on December 7th, 2009) Kick-Ass, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Aaron Johnson as Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass Garrett M. Brown as Mr. Lizewski Clark Duke as Marty Evan Peters as Todd Deborah Twiss as Mrs Zane Lyndsy Fonseca as Katie Deauxma Plot: Co-written and directed by Matthew Vaughn (upcoming X-Men: First Class), the ass-kicking adventure about unlikely real-life crime fighters stars Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) and Mark Strong (Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes), along with the dynamic father-daughter duo played by Chloe Grace Moretz (upcoming Let Me In), and Nicolas Cage (National Treasure series). Based on the comic written by Mark Millar and John S. Romita Jr., the story follows Dave Lizewski (Johnson), an ordinary teenager who goes unnoticed in high school until he dons a mask to become "Kick-Ass," a real-life crime fighter. Bruised and beaten and without any real super powers, he is saved by a father-daughter duo (Cage as "Big Daddy," Moretz as "Hit-Girl") who have been fighting their own battle against a vicious crime-lord. After a firestorm of Internet publicity, Kick-Ass becomes the target of the same crime lord, which leads to the ass-kicking finale when the three crime fighters take on the crime lord, his son Red Mist (Mintz-Plasse) and his gang of criminals.

My Thoughts: I just watched this one for like the third time since it came out.... and loved it this time just as much as I did the first time. This movie is no less then excellent! I was so engrossed with this movie that the time (almost 2 full hours) flew by... and the movie was over before I knew it. Hit-Girl stole the show... best character in the entire movie. Brittany said it right when she told me not to confuse this with a superhero movie... it really isn't one. It is actually a vigilante movie that just happens to use superhero costumes as a gimmick. If by any chance you haven't seen this one yet.... it is one I highly recommend... see it as soon as possible... you won't be sorry! My Rating: (From The Alphabet Marathon: Blu-ray Edition on July 26th, 2014) Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom12. A New Man (2000-01-25) Writer: Jane Espenson (Writer) Director: Michael Gershman Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Robin Sachs (Ethan Rayne), Amber Benson (Tara), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Lindsay Crouse (Maggie Walsh), Elizabeth Penn Payne (Waitress), Michelle Ferrara (Mother) I enjoyed this filler episode very much. Giles feeling sorry for himself because he is being neglected by the gang.
