I had no idea of the actual premise of the film, I just expected a good laugh of a movie.

I was really surprised by the serious tone, the blood and gore. I was a little disappointed that there weren't any "laugh out loud" moments, but at the same time I really loved the mature nature of the film.

What are your thoughts?

I'd already read the graphic novel. So... no. I was surprised to find that I enjoyed the movie alot more then the GN though, it's usually the other way around.

It's also one of my favorite movies now. I cannot wait for the blu-ray.

I was surprised by how much I ended up loving it. It was one of those movies I had anticipated before ever seeing it, but at the same time I was very skeptical about it because I wasn't sure if it would be more than just a brainless comedy.

I was surprised how good it was. I thought the movie was going to suck after seeing the trailers. Kick-Ass is is probably one of my favorite movies based off a comic.

For me there was rarely a second of maturity in that film. Having lots of blood and violence does not make a movie "mature" - it makes it the opposite sometimes. As a supposed parody I was more surprised by how much it became like the movies it wanted to spoof.

I was totally surprised. I had heard people say it was good, but I had no idea. One of my favorite movies I have seen this year, if not my favorite. I enjoyed it more than Iron Man 2, and I know they are very different movies, but still.

Care to elaborate? Noy saying you're wrong on anything. I just wanted to know why you dislike the movie.

Sorry I meant to say that the mature nature was separate from the blood and gore. By mature I just meant the overall tone of the movie. I thought it was just going to be a cheap highschool comedy like Superbad or Knocked Up or whatever, but this movie was darker than I expected.

Well i found it to be boring and slow towards the beginning and although it did pick up the ending was just terrible. Seriously she was wall running and machine gunning guys like no tomorrow. Im all for ridiculousness in films but that was way to much. The plot was also dodgy, only one criminal organization was affected by the so called superheros? Also the harry Osborne ending was cringe worthy

Oh well in that case stay away from the comic.

Disliked it. Expected a good film (based on RT and user reviews), instead all I got was shallow comic-book worship without any thought-provoking underlying theme.

I was surprised at how good it actually was, I thought it would be good, but I didn't think it'd be that good.
