As a fan of the comic book, I was loving every minute of this film. I was fortunate enough to be at Wizard World Chicago 2009 when they first introduced exclusive footage with Mark Millar to the public. I highly respect Millar and his crew for taking the time to get the proper funding from the proper people and also being uncompromising in his vision for the movie; which was to stick to the original comic book issues as source material. It isn't often these days that something like this happens. Usually there is a lot more give and sponsors get in the way of a movie's integrity; or the ratings board gets into the way of a movie's integrity. If you are not into violence, vulgar language, and reality-based crime drama then you can forget going to see this movie. However, if you have an open mind about these things and are loosened up enough to possibly enjoy the humor along with the other elements of this movie, you might enjoy this. I don't recommend this for children under 13.

Being just a normal Joe who loves going to see movies and writing reviews for them, I feel very blessed to have gotten invited to see this movie, Kick ***, at an early screening. Now, Kick *** is a really funny movie. The cast just does a great job of acting in their best comedic acts, which is a real delight for fans of the cast. The story starts out great, and ends great but the real problem with the story/movie is that it drags in the middle. .Unlike in the comics, the story in the middle of the film is not told as great as it is told in the comics. I recommend seeing this movie and really enjoy it, cause you will, then go to a bookstore and get the comic really experience the story. ALSO, this movie is extremely violent! I was surprised myself, but it was a great delight to watch no doubt! Anyone interested in this movie will like it because it lives up to its previews and is a very funny movie. GREAT MOVIE, go see it

"...out of all the thousands of people in the world, you'd think that ONE would try it, try to become a super-hero." And with that statement, Dave Lizewski, aka Kick ***, utters the gunshot to usher in the summer movie season a month in advance. Dave's got all the marks of a great hero - he's like-able, he's an everyman, and he decides to don mask and tights to fight crime in New York city... even though he's invisible at school, a nobody. This is no Tony Stark, this no Bruce Wayne - but Dave could possibly be one of the greatest superheros to walk across silver in a while. The R-rating is justly earned - bloody, realistic violence that's also gruesomely creative (spoiler: one mob interrogation involves a microwave), and suggestive private moments, but there is truth in it all, and it doesn't take away from the generous reward of the third act. Kick ***, well, I won't say it... but it does.

What are you waiting for. Expect to see things you don't think "little kids" should be doing-----and enjoy. It's only a movie!!!! Since the script was out there,and young actors are playing these roles anyway,accept it. The child super heroes lived their respective roles amazingly well. In concert with appropriately backdrop and dead-on adult performances, epic cinematography, and a pitch perfect soundtrack...you will not be disappointed. Soak in the hard work and talent,know what the film is supposed to be,and just love it!

ultra-violent sincere original spectacular flawless
