Recommendations

Empire
A ridiculously entertaining, perfectly paced, ultra-violent cinematic rush that kicks the places other movies struggle to reach.
90
Variety
Equal parts audacious dark comedy, wish-fulfillment fantasy and over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek action-adventure.

ReelViews
The best superhero movie since "The Dark Knight" (and far less serious in tone or approach), Kick-Ass earns its name in every way.
80
Boxoffice Magazine
A clever movie premise based on an obscure comic book has been turned into, okay we’ll say it, a fanboy’s kick-ass wet dream of a movie that could be a surprise Spring smash.
80
The Hollywood Reporter
Its balancing act between innocence and gore perfectly matches the expectations of genre fans, who should embrace the movie.
80
Time Out
For those of us who find somber superhero movies faintly ridiculous, Kick-Ass is a one-film justice league.
80
Arizona Republic
It's also perfectly content to be an insanely violent, funny take on an established genre. And in that respect, Kick-Ass lives up to its name.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
Kick-Ass is a compendium of all sleazy things, and it sings like a siren to our inner Tarantinos.
