Wah wah way, it said F*CK, and SHI*, and BI*CH, your kids see and hear worse at school, stop trying to keep then you precious perfect angles and give them a taste of the real world.......
Awesome movie!
I find it disturbing to see an 11 year-old cussing, but hey, elementary kids cuss nowadays and it's not suprising (Not saying it's a good thing, it's greatly a bad thing.) anymore. Lots of violence and sexual jokes but I think it's alright for 16+. Anyone younger or "innocent and pure", STAY HOME.
I Saw probably one of the most violent scenes in the movie where Hit Girl stabs tons of people, Cuts Off a Dude's Leg, then Stabs him in the back and I honestly have to say that the blood looks like red slime! It's Not gross or disturbing and makes the scenes kind of funny! The other worst scene is when a guy explodes in an oven... THAT'S IT!! I mean the blood in the incredible hulk looks real! But in a rated R movie the blood looks like Goo! Lol! :D Also the language is what's inappropriate but most kids know the F word and some know the C word like me. I think kids 11 and up could see this movie!
Kickass - The most over the top R18 rating in history!
I LOVED this movie! I'm 14 and at first my parents were a little squemish about letting me see a R18 movie but after they saw it they were as shocked as I was. Kickass has got to be one of the most awesomest movies ever and it has no reason why it should be R18. So what if an 11 year old girl is swearing? Man I swore like a sailor when I was that age! So what if she kills people? I know adults say tweens are at an impressionable age, but seeing Hitgirl kill people isn't going to send them on a murderous rampage. She even sends positive messages - That girls don't have to use their sexuality to be action heroes. Just like Ripeley in Alien she defies gender boundaries. Kickass also sends positive messages that you should stand up for what you believe in.
My only reserve would be if your kids are sensitive to violence BUT don't just assume they are. Ask, and talk to your kids about the limit of violence they mind. Kickass there is alot of people getting shot and things, a bit like Hot Fuzz. (but less gorey) Nothing like Saw or gornographic movies.
And the sex in this? I have seen WAY worse in family guy. I mean this is nothing compared to Family Guy and some Family Guy episodes have been only M.
Overall the R18 rating on this film made me miss out on seeing one of the COOLEST films in the world. If you are scared about your kids seeing it - watch it first! And remember- Our generation is alot tougher than you think!
This is my favorite movie at the moment. The story is amazing, not one of those predicto-movies where you know whats coming before it even starts. The cinematography and action scenes kicked ass. I have to say that i havent gone to very many movies in the theaters lately, i normally stick to the older movies people have forgotten about but are still great. But this one has struck me and i love it. I have seen this now three times and plan to see it again. Now content wise, yes it had blood, gore, violence, cussing, sex, but so what you can look past that and actually i think the controversial content made it more popular with the crowd that doesnt stick to the normal happy dappy movies. and scoobysnacks the only nudity in the movie is a picture on the internet of two african americans topless in their tribe, you can see this on discovery channel on pg shows, its labeled "tribal nudity" so if you cant handle this then you sure as hell couldnt handle the violence, so you probably shouldnt have gone to a movie that obviously had this content and if you didnt know and you know that this bothers you, look it up before you come to the internet complaining like a freaking liberal that you hate this movie after watching five minutes of it. no one wants to hear it
Sickening violence, just the way you like it, but people under 14 are out of the question
As a rabid fan of the comic, I was indeed excited to hear about a film adaptation of Kick-Ass. But, I thought no one would be able to emulate the sheer awesomeness of Hit Girl. Oh, but I was wrong. This morality tale/comedy/affectionate parody of superheroes is...there's that title. Yeah. Anyways, I wouldn't say No Kids, Common Sense. This film is rated R (17+, NOT 18+) in the US, but in other countries it's given a 15+ or 16+ rating. Personally, I'd be fine with a 15 or 16-year-old seeing this alone. But, I don't think that a little kid (under 13 or 14) should see this. Why? Because of a character that age. Hit Girl uses big guns and flick knives and has the mouth of a sailor. But, people who've read the comic know this already. Not to mention, there's also a lot of violence, but what do you expect? Also, there's some sexual content in the first few minutes. Masturbation is briefly implied, and there are a few sexually related comments, but nothing you wouldn't see or hear in an average Gossip Girl episode. Overall, parents need to just chill out. It's fine for teens.
Highly entertaining movie, lots of bad swears, some blood, but they made it so it looks cartoon-y, and several scenes in which Dave masturbates as he looks at a picture of naked tribal women, but we only see their breasts for a second. In two scenes he actually has sex, in one of them we see him grab his female partner's breast, in the other she wraps her legs around him as he pulls his pants down and they thrust against each other.
Wow! I just got done watching this movie. It was amazing! It had some really good action and comedy in here; I really loved it! Violence The violence isn't really that bad. People are stabbed, shot, and have their throats slit, but their is not much blood. A guy is shot with a bazooka, but we just see a big explosion. A guy explodes in a microwave, and we see blood and red goo. People are beaten, and we see some blood. A guy has his leg cut off, but we see it for about a second. Overall, the violence is a little too much for a PG-13, but not too much more violent than the Bourne movies. Sex and Nudity There are a handful of sexual references in here. There is a rumor that a guy is gay. The only nudity is of boobs, but it lasts for about one second. There is some implied nudity and sex, but its IMPLIED! The nudity and sex would be allowed in a PG-13 movie. Drugs The villains in this movie are drug dealers. We see one person smoking weed, but it looks like a cigarette. Thats it. Language There is tons of cussing in this movie. There are about 100 F-words, one c*nt, and some other cuss words. Surprisingly, God's name is not said in vain too many times. There are a few g-d*mns, but only two or three. All the characters say Oh my gosh instead of God's name. Overall, the violence in this movie is just a little more bloody than PG-13 movies. There is only to brief instances of gore. The sex and nudity is at a PG-13 level. Most of the stuff about drugs is talked about, rather than shown. The main problem here is language, but every kid that's ten and up hears this much language and sex/ masturbation talk every day. If you realize that your kid hears this kind of stuff everyday, and you don't mind the brief one second shot of breasts or implied nudity and sex, then this movie isn't too bad as long as they don't mind the blood. If they can handle violence a little bloodier than PG-13 movies, then a 10 year old could watch this amazing movie. It's really good!!!
I wouldn't really say this was a very funny movie. It was entertaining though, there were a couple of funny parts and a couple of funny comments made by different characters. It's a lot more bloody than your average raunchy yet funny comedies. One thing I don't understand about a lot of the other reviews on here is why does the adult content make it a bad movie? "Oh NO a little girl used THE C WORD!!! WHAT!?". If you aren't mature enough to see that then don't watch it and grow up, why the one star rating because you can't take a little bit of "bad" language and some violence? Overall it was kinda funny and entertaining, however I wouldn't let kids or immature/young teens see it.
Lets face it the trailers were awful. But when i saw this movie i realized people were missing out and this movie shouldnt have bombed. Yes, there is a lot of swearing (not nonstop tho) and yes the violence was graphic (not as bad as Rambo, but not tame). There is some drug content and some minor sexual content, but nothing to bad. This year there have been a lot of dissapointing movies, but this is not one of them. Its a shame people saw Dinner for Shmucks instead of this.
Kick-Ass is a rollicking good time from director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake). It involves beatings, shootings and slashing but are done with a comic book style. I would even go so far as to recommend it as a transition film for kids from 14A to R. The violence is not nearly as graphic as the source material but is about 3 quarters as bad as Kill BIll Vol. 1. There is controversy over Hit-Girl swearing but if you have seen a movie like Pulp Fiction, you know that if some gangster swears its no big deal, but a girls swears and inappropriate content flags go up, but your kids swear just as much so you really shouldn't have a problem and if you do you are an ageist and a sexist. Dave is not an unrodinaraly sexual kid. He is a character who boys will connect with. Big Daddy is a great father figure that you can believe exists. HIt-Girl provides a rare female superhero for girls who don't want to be stupid Barbie clones they are taught to be. The supporting cast including the villain are great. The fights are choreographed fantastically and the writing is very sharp. Great for all boys and girls who are not the Hannah Montana type.
this movie is the best movie ive ever seen... the language is an issue but most kids hav heard it all and wat u dont kno is most use it anyway... but seriosly the blood isnt much of a problem the sex is rilly low and everything else about this is just awesome
