So, I got first.
-
Cannot wait for this!
-
Dude
-
Condorman reference at the beginning?
-
Now when are we Getting "invincible"
-
Great little trailer. Definitely left me wanting to see more.
-
is a point in favor. Millar is a point against. I'm interested, but still a little skeptical. The mood of the trailer is not at all what I expected, but that's not bad...
-
thing....
-
but I'm still on the fence about this. Trailer has me sold so far though.
-
Vaughn = good, Millar = bad
-
Shit, every movie he's done has sucked.
-
and I have been very unimpressed with everthing Vaughn has been associated with (especially the rather dull Stardust), but this looks really cool. Looks like the awsome deconstruction of the superhero genre I have always wanted to see. And it looks fun and cool as opposed to Watchmen imho....
-
And not in a good way.
-
...thanks guys, I was really getting excited about this untill you mentioned that little nugget.....I cant bring myself to watch the Spirit, is it really as bad as they say?
-
...for Layer Cake.
But let's admit that Stardust SUCKED. Danes was miscast (Miller should have played her part) and it was a jumble of ideas without a coherent plot or character evolution. -
Frank Miller's not involved in any way with "Kick-Ass."
-
and worse than Hancock.
-
And people complain about Batman falling?
-
hated all the great CG in Avatar. This looks like shit. Will make Hancock look like Spider-Man 2.
-
unless the movie turns out to be unbelievably cool. Liked Layer Cake though. So you never know...
-
What a gorgeous woman！The magazine WEALTHY GOSSIP reported her joined the rich woman seeking sugar babies site"S u ga r lov es - c o m " and she is mentioned to find her sugar boy there! the magazine foolx she? or fools us。
-
Mark Millar's work on Kick Ass is great! Anyone who doesn't like his work in this series doesn't know what good writing is. -
Has the shuttle arrived from the other TB yet? The one with all the haters?
-
.....this I am excited for..and hopefully just one more slightly longer trailer before April will mean we don't see the whole damn thing beforehand...
-
hey harry, you aint paying attention and vaughn again proves that he respects the source material...but when are they gonna release the trailer that was shown at the con?
-
Of course he died. He was just some random Armenian with mental problems.
-
Maybe I missed something, but the comic never played as comedic to me. A little girls chopping off guys limbs! Yuk Yuk. This feels like a parody of the comic book.
-
The concept is good; the execution awful. The only hope this film has is if Vaughn can somehow pull a coherent film out of the horrid source material (with the aid of some charismatic actors).
I'm hoping it's good. But I'm doubtful. -
iron man pics
-
Layer Cake and Stardust are both terrific films. I don't know anything about the comics, but this film could easily be great.
I already saw and really enjoyed the comic-con scene of Cage hamming it up while shooting his daughter. -
Jeese guys learn to read.
-
...was a strikeout looking. Stardust sucked.
-
havent read Kick-Ass, thinking bout saving it for after this movie, which judging by the trailer will be AWESOME!
-
This is gonna kick so much fucking ass, it's ridonkulous!
-
Frank Miller gargles Mark Millar's sweaty, Scottish ballsack. If you don't know his shit, I feel fucking sorry for you. Chosen, Wanted (The comic, not the shit movie), War Heroes, Wanted. The guy is the fucking tits. Even Old Man Logan was fucking amazing. You assholes don't know what you're missing.
-
All you peeps out there who saw the Kick-Ass footage answer me one question. Is the little girl who plays hit girl, the same little girl who's in the latest tv commercial with the family in a mexican stand off with remote controls and the little girl who says, "Happy Pony's on and I'm not missing Happy Pony" ???? Get back at me!!!
-
It was an accident, but the book deserves a second mention. I mean, the last panel is literally the main character fucking you, the reader, in the ass for being such a fucking sheep. There was probably no one in the world with the balls to have made a true adaptation of that comic. Hopefully Vaughn has found the sack to do it with Kick-Ass.

Never read the comic but even I know this teaser is misleading.
by mr. nice gaius
Kinda silly to go the light-hearted route but I'm sure they'll put something more substantial out later. Even still, this early one does nothing for me.Quote: "Frank Miller did this?"Geez dude, just go away.
-
Kick Ass the comic was hit or miss with me, but as it morphed into what it really wanted to be as opposed as what it was promised to be, I started to enjoy it for what it was-pure escapism. The comic con footage looked good, and in my opinion was a little toned down from the violence in the comic. I was hoping for a movie as brutal as the comic... but I will say this...as a skeptic and as a man burned by Millar many times... I think it looks good, well cast, and a lot of fun and I'll be there opening day. Good luck Gents!
-
THAT is our first glimpse at this geek wet dream fantasy movie? Christ, I must be too old for this shit...
-
If you don't get what's funny about an eleven-year old girl slicing up criminal shitheads with kitanas, then you have no fucking business watching a movie this cool.
-
It's like a Japanese rip off of an American Superhero movie. I'm sure you D And D dorks eat this shit up, but really, is THIS going to be good?
-
I am so in.
-
amusing, yes, but this is NOT an original concept. cant believe the trailer would even make that claim, considering BLANKMAN, MYSTERY MEN, and even THE INCREDIBLES all did a variation of this story already
-
I'm not one to judge a movie by its trailer, but this trailer didn't capture the feel of the comic book at all. Of course this isn't a comic book, and of course I know things play out differently in movies, but the clips I see in this trailer looks like it's a parody of the source material.
-
Nov 11, 2009 1:43:28 AM CST
Hopefully I'm wrong and the trailer is just put together badly
by galactic
I would really really like it if this movie was good...
-
this looks about right. I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's going to be WAY bloodier than the trailer let's on, cuz the comic is fucking brutal as all bloody hell.
-
See Takashi Miike's Zebraman. And D&D? Yeah the fuck right.
-
are both winners in my book.
-
Anyone who's ACTUALLY read the comic and GETS what's so fucking cool about it will be able to understand that this is NOT parody. If you weren't laughing your ass off when you read the "That's not me." scene in the first issue, then I have no idea why you even fucking kept reading. If you don't get it, you don't fucking get it.
-
Saw it last week. It lived up to the title... even if the title was Fucking Amazing. And I'll bet you my ballsack that this screens at BNAT. Any takers?
-
Anyone who's seen it knows this movie's gonna be the shit.
-
This has Meh written all over it. But of course, the same people that saw Transformers 2 will eat this shit up.
-
This looks far worse than TF 2.
-
I really liked Layer Cake and Stardust is a lot better movie than given credit for. So maybe this will be good as well, never heard of the comic though.
-
More by-the-numbers deconstructionism, which is what Millar does, and he does it fucking poorly. But Mark Millar is not Matthew Vaughn and Vaughn has said he is going in his own direction. But as I said, weak trailer.
-
The guy (girl? whatever) has classically awful and shallow taste in just about everything.
-
Nov 11, 2009 2:18:34 AM CST
saw the teaster at comic con..R rating coming..looks good
by glory_fades_immaxfischer
-
Stardust was terrible. Honestly. Layer Cake was just Fight Club lite. Seriously. His films look flash and expensive but are wafer thin and dissatisfying.
-
Millar's only bested by the great Garth Ennis. As I said above, if you don't like Mark Millar's work, you don't get good writing. It figures that you gaytards hating on Millar's work just don't get it. What, do you all worship at the ballsack of Jeff Johns? Millar's work is deft, pitch perfect and always surprising. It's so rare that anyone surprises me these days. The three writers who always surprise me are, in this order: Garth Ennis, Quentin Tarantino, and Mark Millar.
All you fucktard haters out there are just a bunch of talentless hacks who can't even recognize good writing when it chomps on your nuts. Stay with your Jeff Johns and your fucking sucky movies like the soon to be unspectacular Expendables, which will not be, by any stretch of the imagination, anywhere near as great as Inglourious Basterds was.
The one project that I am hoping beyond hope gets made is Garth Ennis' CROSSED, and that it's done right, by like QT or Vaughn, both of them respecting the source material. CROSSED will fuck you up the ass, if it's ever made, which is highly doubtful.
"Mommy, you fucking cunt!"
If anyone understands that reference, than you deserve to become an honorary Crossed for a day. -
sucking ball sacks routine?
-
Looks like some stupid shit man. And its got a seriously crappy title.
-
I recognize some of the screen names trashing AVATAR but praising this bullshit! Look, just because you read a comic book that the majority have no clue doesn't automatically make this a great film. I need to see more footage because so far its looking like MYSTERY MEN with teenage brats !
-
Gee, i wonder why!
-
And so did Stardust.
At least Layer Cake was good. So there's a slim chance Vaughn can rescue the puerile, idiotic source material... -

Read anonymous_bitch's post to enter the mind of Millar fans
by industrykiller!
THESE are the kind of people Mark Millar's work attracts. He's the Michael bay of the comic book world. I don't think more need be said.
-
Exactly.
-
...I wish there was about
a minute more of the trailer!!! -
Tarantino's mongoloid, retard baby...
-
...and I think it undermined the trailer for a lot of people--it certainly lessened it for me, but I am hoping that there is promise in the film. The second song, I don't know, was that The Clash, I don't recall? Whatever, it fit the trailer far better. I'd set the main part of the trailer to The Nine Inch Nails' song "Twilight" as it has a more tonally vicious and serious mood.
-
I don't get the hype.
-
He's anything but the Michael Bay. And Garth Ennis is the Tarantino of the medium. The fact that you say this, Industry Killer, tells me that you have no idea what good writing is, and have no use for deft, subtle brilliance. -

-
Vaughn knocked it out of the park with Stardust, finally giving us the first true spiritual successor to The Princess Bride. He's proven he knows how to adapt a comic and keep the spirit of the original, while still making the movie his own creation. I expect this will be amazing as well.
-
Overruled.
You can argue he's "subversive" (in the way a ten year old playing doctor with Barbie is). You can say he's "funny". But you can't seriously claim he's subtle... Dear Lord no. -
I'm going to bed. That's how much this trailer excited me. Goodnight.
-
Next.
-
Peaches does a fantactic cover/honage of that song....
-
...that movie Zak Snyder is doing "Sucker-Punch". Boy, this is worse than when I kept getting "Shoot'em Up" and "Smoking Aces" confused.
-
...wow. do we think it's a co-incidence they used the same song as Freaks and Geeks in the trailer?
-
the rest looks aight
-
Check out #2 and #4 in particular, if you think this movie is going to be watered down compared to the book. http://tinyurl.com/ltryyu
-
that i thought couldn't happen anymore in a universe were the lame copycat named harry potter is your way to go. vaughn is a director i can't put in a category, so i hope he will surpise me again - in a great way :)
-
Didn't they use that song from the trailer in SHREK? Also lol about the SPY KIDS 4 comment!
This actually looks like a lot of fun to me. AICN has already started promoting this as 'the best superhero movie of all time' - Beaks used those very words - but if you can ignore that bullshit (AICN did much the same in the run up to SUPERMAN RETURNS and SPIDERMAN 3 and look how they turned out) then hopefully the hype wont kill the film before its released. It's clearly not a blockbuster so for KICK ASS to do great box office it's going to have to be as a sleeper hit and too much hype pre-release will damage it's chances. -
Seriously Herc... I cant believe how you at aintitcool would be so enthusiastic by this piece of @#$.
Millar is a talentless writer, who hasn't written anything remotely good in the last 6-7 years. Like another talkbacker said, he has good concepts (Wanted, Old Man Logan) but AWFUL executions. His writing is PAINFUL!
And I also hated the fact that he decided one day to become a hollywood writer/director whatever and everyone seems to go along with it.
Hopefully this will be his Spirit and he will leave movies for good.
I have a good opinion about Matthew Vaughn , I liked Layer Cake and Stardust but I dont think he can save this. -
Nov 11, 2009 4:07:31 AM CST
Looks terrible - this is one of those FANBOYS movies
by professor_monster
That aintitcool promotes and flies the flag for as high as they can. This looks like so many other things that themselves were horrible -
It'll open less than 9mil and drop more than 50 2nd week. -
Though Millar is a shit writer, and that was a terrible trailer. Obviously put together by ad guys who dont give a crap about the actual film, so I won't jump to judgement, but that trailer sells the film like another Super Ex-Girlfriend or something alongthose lines.
-

-
Yawn ! I'll reserve opinion as always though, until i see it.
-
Those who are hating this keep thinking that it's either a parody, ala Mystery Men, or it's a deconstruction of the genre. Really, I can see this.
If you haven't read the comic series, I can see how this trailer can look like a Mystery Men-like parody. But watch the trailer again, and keep saying to yourself, "this isn't a parody, this is real life."
Kick Ass is NOT a parody. It's black as fuck and fucking real. That's really a ten year old girl disembowling a man.
Honestly, I don't know how good the movie will be. I just know the comicbook series is pretty awesome. And, yes, much of its brilliance is subtle. You're just not bright enough to get it. -
Cheesy concept. Cheesy title. Cheesy dialogue. Cheesy trailer.
-
...but then I guess it was aimed squarely at 11 year old boys and the rest of the world might get very little from that. Hopefully the film will be better. I must admit I don't entirely get the attack on Millar's superhero writing at all - as other than just some kind of defensiveness against his attempts to revise and explore different aspects of the medium. I haven't read Kick-Ass yet (I will soon), I really hated Wanted (which was pretty reprehensible all round on most levels, sure) but absolutely loved The Authority, Civil War and The Ultimates which all brought a fresh take on the entire concept, but deconstructive, political and not too reverent - which I think makes people feel a little uncomfortable at times. (I was amazed to see Favreau's reticence around the Avenger, I mean, really...just film Millar's Ultimates, the template's all there pretty much.) As I see it Millar's crimes seem to be that he's a bit obnoxious at times, (often a bit ironic), conceited and perhaps a little over-ambitious but then so are most of the people working in the entertainment industry. But at least Millar has given us something interesting and challenged the parameters of the medium and brought in some interesting ideas. Matthew Vaughan's hardly been a social worker either when you read a few interviews with him. I'd love to see wht he had in mind for Superman...it'd have been a damn site more fun than that Richard Donner tribute we got saddled with a couple of years back.
-
I wrote that in a hurry - bits of it needs editing!
-
Thanks for uploading those clips, Drave! Yes, clip #4 is the money shot and what I'm talking about; a little girl killing a room full of bangers. It looks like Vaughn and Jane Goldman are going to stick close to the source material. Can't fucking wait. -
Saw it in London last week and wanted to hate it - Nic Cage, arrogant ass Matthew Vaughn, a comic i've never heard of, something i keep getting told "looks amazing" by comic-con types which always makes me sceptical - but damn it was funny as hell. Admittedly without Chloe Moretz's Hit Girl and Cage's line delivery (especially his use of the word child) it would be solid and fun but not stunning, but with them it's aces. The intro scene to Cage and Moretz is the best scene i've seen this year. Hugely entertaining.
-
Maybe on some alternate world there's a parallel version of him writing intelligent stuff or maybe we're the ones stuck with the Bizarro version of Millar (which would be ironic considering his obsession with Down's Syndrome).
-
This watered down pg-13 one is kinda meh. Doesn't get the comic tone across very well. Which is silly really when it's inevitably going to get an R rating so why try and market it to 11 year olds?
-
Is it just me, or was I the only one reading Herc's over the top descriptions as dripping with irony?
-
"This is going to be so so so SO GOOD you guys!! Are they really going to make us wait until April 16 to see the rest of it??"
That sounds like sarcasm to you?
Sounds like an over-excited geek cumming in his undies to me.
-
i haven't even posted in months. but when i first heard about this project i sought out the comic book, read it, and anticipated this movie. i'm not a long time fan but even i know this commercial is absolutely ridiculous. hopefully it's just the studio not knowing how to sell a good product. but i don't know... still looks pretty crappy...
-
"this isn't a parody, this is real life.
Kick Ass is NOT a parody. It's black as fuck and fucking real. That's really a ten year old girl disembowling a man."
anonymous_bitch go to the earlier KICK ASS tb by DKMODE, there's another review posted on there by TheLastBoyScout who explains how 'unrealistic' this movie actually is. This trailer pretty much indicates the same thing - I don't think you're getting the 'real world' movie you seem to think you're getting.
-
Anyone who does not realize the comic was satire is an idiot. Yes a ten year old girl disemboweling people is funny. What planet are you from?
-
I may just be a sick fuck but the scene with Nic Cage sold me my ticket next spring. That was fucking hilarious!
-
I don't know anything about the comic. And this trailer didn't really wow me. Frankly, the only reason I am still interested in it is because of all the excitement from others here.
-
It's awesome when a comic book movie is rushed into production before the comic's first 6 issues are out. Genius!
Mindlessness and over the top action. Just what America needs. -
I watched it, (and bear in mind I know nothing about the source material) and thought it looked, a bit shit actually.
It kind of reminded me of the Twilight trailer I saw in front of 2012. (Another thing I know nothing about.) The trailer told me absolutely nothing about the movie, I suppose because it assumed the audience knew a lot.
Compare that, with say, the Harry Potter movies. I don't know their source material either, but their trailers give you a much better idea of what's going to happen. -

Layer Cake gave me a lot of good will toward Mathew Vaugh
by asimovlives
The man would need to fuck up for a whole decade for me to give up on him.
-
Wasn't that called "Mystery Men"?
-
Sorry, fellas. I'm sure this movie is everything it's being promoted as and more, but if that's the trailer they're selling it with, this movie is going to have the same trajectory as the poor "I Believe I Can Fly" schlub in the trailer. Everything about it, from the broad slapstick to the narration by some "kid with attitude" to the hackneyed Joan Jett song, just screams "Coming Soon from Nickelodeon Movies...Mystery Men 2: Mystery Teens!"Again, the movie itself might be awesome, but if I saw this trailer without knowing what Kick-Ass was, I'd assume it was some new Robert Rodriguez kid's movie and immediately dismiss it. The only thing it's missing is some spiky-haired 8-year-old going "COOOOOOOOL!"
-
This could be up there with The Dark Night or Watchmen?
-
I am so unimpressed. I hope another trailer comes out in a couple months that is better, as this one did nothing for me.
Maybe my age is starting to show, as I just couldn't relate to any of the kids in that clip.
-
But he likes to go overboard at times with the "damn, this shit is fucked up" scenarios. Which is just what the net nerds love.
-
promise that NOBODY will start any future Kick Ass review with the frase "Kick Ass kicks ass"? Please? PLEASE? Obvious puns are the most anoying thing to read. I bet it'll be "*critic name* watches the Watchmen" all over again
-
Argentino, too late to make changes now. AICN have already written their KICK ASS review. The cheque's been cashed.
-
There was something going on with Garofalo's bowling ball, and that kid from GoodBurger did turn invisible. ANd Stiller's superpower was bad acting, right?
-
Still not Guy Richie, 7 years after the fact, but trying.
-
Trailer does nothing for me. Millar is hit or miss, and Kick-Ass the comic is one of his misses, for me. The movie looks worse.
-
Even if you aren't the real one. I mean I like remakes as much as the next guy, but just stealing shit left and right from Carlito's Way without giving credit makes Layer Cake a failure on every level.
-
now bring on a longer trailer!
-
looks....entertaining, but anyway as nearly everything written by mark millar it will be a total mountain of revisionistic crap...oh he thinks he's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too clever and the only things he knows to do is rip off warren ellis...fuck it, i wish the worst failure to this thing so millar will go back to his crawling hole and stop trying to get into hollywood and fuck franchises.
-
After years of bad superhero send-ups like Leonard Part VI, Meteor Man and Mystery Men etc, it is nice to see that it might finally have been done right... although I guess The Incredibles was pretty great too, but you get my point.
-
Your right, Vaughn isn't Ritchie - Thank God!
Did you see Swept Away? No wonder Vaughn said "fuck it" and decided to go do films his way. Layer Cake is better than anything Ritchie has done... and a couple of Ritchie's films are damn good.
Stardust was a miss for Vaughn IMO, but Kick Ass has promise and the advanced word on it is great. Layer Cake puts a lot of good will towards Vaughn in my books. -
This is a world without super heroes. And none of the characters have super powers.Except Hit Girl who is way beyond human athletic and trained level. From the various clips I've seen she's Blade. She's just short of being The One.Yes I know it was like that in the comic. But that was a deal breaker too. Either the world has superhumans or not. A super movie ninja type is not human.I'll still see it though.
-
Yeah but Layer Cake of Vaughn trying to do Lock Stock 3, but stealing the story from Carlitos Way. Just lame.
-
I think when the more discerning comic book fans read, they expect something deep and subtle and moving--kind of like sci-fi enthusiasts that want all their books to be as thought provoking as Ender's Game or Foundation. And there's lots of comics that manage to have a deep message and create really convincing character studies of what happen when you put heroes/virtual gods through the wringer.
Except Millar isn't that kind of writer. He specializes in pure escapism and fantasy, and he never really goes much deeper than that. Whether that's a good thing or not is really dependent on the reader's personal opinion. But reading Millar is much like watching a film by Bruckheimer--sure there's some limited depth, but I'm just there for the action. And what's more, Bruckheimer (and Millar) are entertaining despite the lack of depth.
I think that Millar actually managed to break his own mold when he did Old Man Logan, though. That was actually a really deep character study into a well-beloved character, set in a pretty compelling universe. At least it had a lot more depth than his usual stuff. -
Is Disney behind this???
-
It looks like a superhero version of Napolean Dynamite.
-
I'm too lazy to watch the trailer. I don't even want to watch it if it's giving off some kind of shitty disney vibe. Have not read the comic but I have seen enough clips of Kick Ass to make me excited to see the movie when it's released. The scene with that 11 year old asassin girl slicing up a bunch of gangsters is awesome hilarious, so over the top violent, cant wait...oh yeah, fuck Avatar, that movie looks like a star trek fans wet dream!
-
Layer Cake and Stardust are just woeful. Really terrible.
-
This movie won't even touch the violence of D9.
-
Place your bets.
-
I don't like the fact that Kick-Ass is a brunette, instead of a blonde. But that's just a minor detail. This could be one of the best superhero films ever, just by the fact that it'll deconstruct superohero films, while not taking itself too seriously. :)
-
Do none of you remember the long clips that were floating around here a few months back? Awesome scenes of Cage training his little girl by shooting her? The teen getting beat by car-jacking hoods? The gang hotel room fight? If you haven't seen those, seek them out and maybe then you'll get and/or appreciate this more.
-
Those clips were MUCH better! Very Tarantino. Ok, I'm sold.
-
urgh!

by frisco
There it is, Millar's great gift to the comics art form: stunt casting. Too bad they couldn't get Eminem and Halle Berry for the "Wanted" movie, huh? Sheeeeeit... This trailer is quite entertaining and it has me hoping that the movie is good. It looks like the filmmakers may have clued in to the absurdity of the idea that a pre-pubescent girl could take on organized crime and slaughter hired killers by the bushel fucking basket. That's a good thing. Less Millar = better chance at a good movie.
-
anonymous_bitch = Garth Ennis? Or QT? Or Miller himself?mmmmmmm....could be....Oh, and DeadPan....you made me laugh. Good job.
-
on this one. Like Where the Wild Things Are hyperbole.
-
What the fuck is all the hype about? really? Really? REALLY?
-
Is this the trailer that they are going to "release" on the kickass website on saturday?? hopefully they show a red band
-
No. Not at all. Total fantasy, as seen by the inclusion of Hit Girl. 'nuff said.
Oh, wait ... "Crossed" sucks. -
Can't wait until it is out, in theatres next year.
-
This trailer did pretty much nothing for me. We've seen all this sort of thing before. All they apparently seem to be doing different, from what I've read, not based on what was in this trailer, is just up the violence factor. Looks like a rip-off of Mystery Men. Lets hope that Jane Goldman hasn't turned any characters into fucking gay pirates...
-
I thought I was being fooled by some you tuber and it was going to turn out to be Not Another Superhero movie or whatever that thing was called.
-
I have no illusions about that. The only crowd this will please is hardcore comics geeks. Non-comic fan adults will think it looks laughable and it will be way too violent to take kids to.
-
exactly
-
Now, that was a superhero.
-
...or it is spot on. And that's the part that bothers me the most.The comic is gritty and real, peppered with bits of indiscrete humor. If it weren't for the bloody title cards, I'd have thought this to be a teaser for an upcoming Saturday morning kiddie show. It isn't made any better by use of my Boston homies Half Cocked's "Bad Reputation" which was employed in the Shrek flicks.I really, really hope this is another example of a totally deceptive trailer. What a shame. That opening segment is perfect and ripped from the pages of the source material.
-
I'm not familiar with the comic and haven't followed the development of this project at all, BUT, this looks wildly entertaining and fun! Great opening to the trailer too!
-
..till he fucked it up via a cop out conclusion.almost a cop out like the 3rd act of the MUA2 game, just not as bad.he deserve props for giving us the ultimates although the rest of Ultimate Books suck Evil Monkey Dick.
-
If by interesting you mean the biggest bastardization of classic characters the comic book world has ever seen then yeah, it was real interesting. It was a cheap overly obvious political allegory with characters FUNDAMENTALLY and randomly changed in order to better shoehorn them into a story. Civil War did irreparable damage (barring a FULL retcon) tot he Marvel Universe that it is still recovering from. And let's face it, it wasnt a very interesting story to begin with considering none of the major superheroes would ever agree to some bullshit reactionary government law. If you wanna tell the story you gotta follow the CHARACTERS, not the other way around.

..it was interesting because of the 'obvious' pollitical allegory especially during the era of 911,patriot Act and of course the Bush Administration. It's very credible that stark could be a prick and cap being the self rightous SOB that he is, would never go for some mandate/registration. The ROBO Thor was a bit too trivial.You didn't like it, good for you. i thought it was a bold idea that may or may not have paid off.Better than that House of M garbage anyways.
-
That does look like Bay street, just up from Union Station; looking the other way I see what I believe to be the Old City Hall clock tower.
-
http://tinyurl.com/ltryyu they show more of the tone this movie is in. and the 'reality level' since that seems to be important to everyone. either way, it looks like a pretty entertaining film to me.
-
but i did read Wanted.. and the Movie 'Wanted' was a far superior adaptation of the source material in my opinion. So i'm gonna trust the Vaughn's choices on this one.
-
As Frisco says, Sam Jackson as Nick Fury isn't the greatest fucking thing in the world. I'm not entirely sure why he and I seem to be the only two people on the Internet who have this figured out, though.
-
Aside from being about a decade ahead of its time, that is. Go ahead, hit me with your best slap shot, suckas.
-
It's a great thing.
-
They were obviously going for a light-hearted tone for the trailer. Fucking Nine Inch Nails? Piss off to the Clash of the Titans talkback. That song was by The Prodigy by the way, second song by Joan Jett.
-
I find it hilarious that the mediocre at best Wanted film was way above the actual source material in terms of writing. And I'm suspecting Vaughn's adaptation will blow this crap series away as well. Millar is an idea-man at best. Others should flesh them out for him.

If SLJ did not play the same character each and every time
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Then it would be a good thing.
-
Paltrow needs to be killed off.
-
But if they ARE going for a light-hearted tone then it's just a ploy to draw in the rubes. Or, at least, to not scare them off with the unrepentant violence. Also, if you train someone from birth how to kill people, they'd be pretty badass pretty quick. I know this because I'm a psychologist sensei. Do not question it.

I kinda imagine Kick-Ass is a bit like Lockesbrokenleg

Although I imagine Lockesbrokenleg probably dresses up as a robot instead of a superhero.

Because it's true.

"SJ was one of the best things about Iron Man"
Fuck have I got Alzheimers!!? I've seen IRON MAN twice and I dont remember Sam L Jackson being in it, let alone 'the best thing'!
You're not talking about Terence Howard right? Cos him I DO remember? Now i'm confused.
-
It was a post-credits scene. Ya gotta watch the 'whole' movie to get to it.
-
and lockesbrokenleg is just trollin trollin trollin with that comment. That's complete bullshit. Samuel Jackson being Samuel Jackson was apparently one of the best things about Iron Man. I don't like Gwyneth Paltrow much, but she played her part well. The shitty side-character slave girl.
-
Ted & Waqman, thanks guys. At least now i know im not mad. If I ever get round to a 3rd watch of IRON MAN i'll let the movie credits run on for Ol' Sam's sake.
ps. Waqman, I agree. I thought Gwyneth did a good job as Pepper. -

by solanine
I'm not totally sure, but I'd bet it's the same reason they try to say everything sucks just to be different.
-
Fuck you you ignorant ass. You fucking HATE everything. OF COURSE everyone knows that SJ was at the end of the credits you fucking douchebag. It was STILL part of the movie. God, Fanboys are assholes.
-
You have no idea what good writing is. Maybe if you took the time to lift your face from Geoff John's ballsack, you'd learn something. -

by lockesbrokenleg
that knows there's a scene at the end credits of Iron Man.

Cocksucker.
-
Person that pretends to be cool.
-
See what you did? Now Mommy & Daddy are yelling!
-
These net nerds/haters all hate on everything they think is mainstream, only to suddenly find themselves right smack IN the mainstream. How fuckin' funny is that?
It's like all those chicks who get that lower back, above the ass tattoo because it expresses their individuality. And some chicks should never have lower back, above the ass tattoos. -
The comic sucks (I do enjoy a number of other of Millar's work) and this trailer does nothing for me. It's the kind of trailer that needs 'sale' text slapped on it. "From the creator of WANTED... And you liked that when you first saw it, right? I know that when you saw it again, you realized how it sucked donkey nuts, but it was fun in the theater. You know, like how Costner's ROBIN HOOD was fun until your brain turned back on when the lights went up. It'll be like that."
-
I love that movie too. So, based on what everyone's saying is that it's like Mystery Men or The Specials, but with lots of blood and gore. And McLovin (Sorry, your name is too long and convoluted for me to remember) is in it? Well, I'm fucking there then. Good to see ya, Al.
-
A father pumping bullets in to his baby girl... and that fourth clip, is wire-fu sword action.
Anyone who pretends that Kick-Ass is even loosely based on Reality, needs a fucking reality check. -
So if I said that I thought that I was really the Blue Beetle, and all this was some kind of mental illusion created by Brainiac (or whomever) to keep the heroes out of the way while he conquered the world, and that The Matrix was my mind trying to clue me in to the fact that me and my fellow Justice Leaguers are captured and hooked up to some mind control device, you'd say I need a reality check? Man, the kooks on this site.
-
They've been pimping it a little too much around here for no good reason.
-
Still looking forward to it though.
-
I would like to personally thank all the men and women serving in our Armed Force, past and present, for their service to our country. It is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
-
Why was there talk of the actress who plays hit girl being like ten years old and doing dangerous stunts. It was painfully obvious that there was a stunt double used. She grew about four inches in her action scenes. Anyway, Millar...whatever, there was a year between war heroes issues and there's been about four months since last Kick Ass for whatever reasons. I'm pretty sure the guy can just pitch his ideas anymore and not be expected to follow through or he gets distracted and jumps around on projects but people keep buying his stuff so he continues to work. Old Man Logan was good and latests Ultimates is little on story heavy on action but even Old Man Logan had delays. Comics are too expensive to put up with creators getting to things when they feel like it.
-
The fuckin' hooplehead that's pretending to be cool around here is fuckin' you.
-
Funny, did your staff of writers come up with that for you?
-
No cutting, just sticking. Real cool like, see?

Looks great!

-
Eff you mutha fukka!!!
-
Is anyone else surprised that in a film full of no name actors that they don't play up the fact that Nic Cage is in this thing? I just thought that was odd.
-
Staff of writers? No, my fuckin' staff either offers up pussy for cash or feeds cocksuckers like you to Wu's pigs.And I gotta mind to think that you wouldn't know funny if it grabbed you by the short hair.
-
...this looks like it could be an awfully cute little movie. Liked Stardust (easier if you're not comparing it to the book and I wasn't from the get-go). And I can't abide Gwyneth Paltrow, but I'll give her credit for giving a real performance in Iron Man. Compare that to Kirsten Dunst's "I'm holding my nose because I'm walking in shit" performances from all three Spiderman movies. Yeah, that's all.
-
Also I'm not a stuck up prick about things like some people around here. Jeez, I bet there's some kind of template in your mind for a perfect trailer/movie everytime you view something. Well guess what! Not every single fucking thing will fit that mold. Doesn't make it any valid reason to write something off as sucking balls or whatever. If I took the premature advice of a lot of you I'd have missed out on some pretty damn good things I otherwise would never have enjoyed.
-
all these mediocre trailers look even worse now. Clash of the Titans had decent music (albeit cheesy as hell) but it quickly turned into some 300 garbage. And Kick Ass....looks alright. Millar's a twat though.
-
That dude at the beginning of the trailer looks like Condorman - one of the most beloved films of my childhood. That film totally needs to be on DVD!!!
-
But I absolutely loved Ultimates 1&2. I haven't read Kick Ass since it just sounded like it was going to have a Wanted-like tone to it, but this trailer did look entertaining.

Wish it was more Romero's Martin less Raimi's Spiderman
by u_banned_me_down_the_stairs
and why are the villains so over the top??? Where on earth do they buy the shit they wear? Where is the people under the stairs villains, the ones who are slightly over the top but very believable. Hell weres a real gang like ms13 or the folks or crypts or bloods, fighting outside of a restaurant like denys?? wait we don't go to a crack house or a ghetto or wait outside of a jail or courthouse when rapists, drug dealers, thieves and murderers are going in and sometime coming out. Wouldn't this kid do shit like that. Sit in a courtroom and watch, and then go after the guy if he walks, read papers about people who were arrested and burn down their houses and blow up their cars and shit and tail them when they got out until they re offended. Maybe look up the sex offender registry to find all the sex offenders in his neighborhood to pay them a visit or to spy on them too. Join an online racist group to find the grand dragon who runs the KKK. Something like that...
Too much fantasy, too much candy not enough truth. Romeo did it right with Martin, and everyone else just doesn't get it when they toy with the same idea. Remove the flash and show the shit, the shit as in the pure normal real life reaction to the characters behavior to do something like this. All I see is candy on both sides. Everyone's so exaggerated once again "Hooray for Hollywood!" -
are so ridiculous. just blind hatred for some unknown obviously deep-seeded reason. i was excited about this because i'm not too cool to enjoy a comic book and then i was excited when i heard they were making a movie because i liked the comic book so much. now after seeing the trailer i'm not too cool to admit that i'm stoked.
i'll get off my soapbox now, have a good day -
Not familiar with the source material, love the concept, really like the images and clips I've seen prior to this. But this trailer didn't register at all with me.It spent way too much time on the first scene and didn't give enough substance afterward to tell me why I should see it. I'm still interested, but only because of what I've heard previously.That is, interested in spite of the trailer.
-
movies.

Wow. I just wanted to watch the trailer, and then I read all the comments. I've learned a few things:
• Mark Millar and Frank Miller are not the same person.
• Stardust was either very good, OK, terrible, shit, or THE shit.
• A movie will be terrible if you don't like the trailer.
• A trailer (and therefore, the movie) is terrible if the wrong cover of a rock song is played under it.
• A movie will also be terrible if it does not completely adhere to the source material, regardless of what is actually in the movie.
• The source material for this movie is funny, or it's not, and is also both realistic and unrealistic.
• Tarantino should have directed this movie, but he also makes people groan.
• FRANK MILLER AND MARK MILLAR ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON!
• There is a magazine called WEALTHY GOSSIP, apparently read by non-english speakers.
• Avast! Thar be trolls here...
• This movie might be as good as some other movies, but it might be worse. Oh, and those other movies might have been good, or they might have sucked.
• People REALLY like to comment first, but the first comment never says anything. I don't know why - maybe they're just really excited about the fabulous prizes you get for commenting first, so they forget to write something substantive. What? They don't? Oh.
• Fucktard! Cunt! Fanboy! Cocksucker! Asshole! Douchebag! Meh! And most of all, (say it with me now) Ballsack!
• I'm going to see this movie.
• Ballsack! Ballsack! Ballsack! BALL SACK. -
WIN.
-
Both this movie and this TB. Just 9 days until New Moon and I'll have my face buried in a pile of Peruvian snow.
See some of you then... -
Crap, Crap, Crap.Jeezus.Will Smith as Mark Millar.
-
Because it's true. He's the Bay of comics. I also say it because I want to here anonymous_bitch reference a nut/ballsack while telling me how "deep" Millar is.
Life is good. -
And, apparently, because I want to anger the gods of grammar.
-
Forgettable at best.
-
and not in a good way. The fucking mouth hole looks ridiculous. The whole concept of Hit Girl is stupid.
-
Damn it! You won me over with your savvy argument. Why have I never seen this before?? -
Thanks to whomever posted those clips from SDCC. This trailer and those clips looks like such a crap-fest of tone and "reality". On the one hand it demands "reality" to the Kick-Ass character and on the other they have a ten year old girl fighting like Bruce Lee. You can't have it both ways, fanboys. I think TheLastBoyScout mentioned in the other TB about how the film sets up its rules and then completely cuts them off at the knees (like the little girl does to that thug in the film...any idea how hard that would be for a grown man to do?). This film might achieve a little hit of SIN CITY fanboy interest in the beginning at the box office but it's going to tank so fast (I predict that opening will become the metaphor for the film's plunge both at the box office and as its critical analysis). Sure, Mark Millar isn't Frank Miller but Lionsgate IS the same company that made and released THE SPIRIT proving they have absolutely no clue of what they are doing with this kind of material. That trailer is shit with how cheap that opening looked (terrible lighting on the character in regards to the city's image). Didn't the use of "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss (inspired by Nietzsche's treatise by the same name) become criminally over-used for the millionth time about 1980? The height of KICK-ASS's originally established before we even get to see an image with those famous overdone few notes. The crowd's reactions to kid's violent death established a "comedy" tone to it like one of those "Scary Movie" so-called satires of the genre (I bet those movies make more money than this). I expected to see Leslie Nielsen giving a shocked double take. Lionsgate's marketing people are shooting up heroin somewhere in desperation and puking their guts out on trying to figure out how to sell this and to whom. We've already seen OBSERVE AND REPORT get flushed down the drain chasing the same "really REALLY now" audience keyed to laughing at dark "reverse expectations" of a genre (and with Rogen & his people driving the GREEN HORNET we can expect another totally clueless superhero turd). The fanboys will get many of the cutesy "inside" references to this kind of story but the rest of the ticket-buying audience won't know or care. And this Jackson as Fury analogy with Millar...as if that means anything to the success or failure of this. Hey, Lionsgate gave us Jackson as the Octopus. Nuff Said! (My parting and cutesy "inside" joke)
-
is there a reason for it or is she really a boy?
-
So I saw a couple scans of kick-ass, and I remember a little girl murdering people in horribly gruesome ways, and then a kid and his friends hanging out at a comic book store.
Then when someone told me the premise of the comic, I was like 'what?' since the little bit I saw didn't have anything to do with 'realistic superheroes.'
Now the trailer comes out and it looks kind of like Mystery Men. Huh.
Is Kick-Ass as a whole just schizophrenic? Horrible, sickening violence combined with sitcom style sarcastic geeks with a dose of superhero humor thrown in? -
That trailer would not have made me want to watch it.
-
the same the Comic. Almost exactly like the comic. The comic is entertaining, and it's hardcore violent. Second, Millar's Wanted was funny and messed up, but I think the guy might be a sociopath. I don't think the world's ready for a rapist as a superhero.Kick-Ass is a comedy comic, it's not meant to be serious, and if you read the thing (I know, reading, who needs it) you'd probably know that. Also JRJR has probably the finest art of his career thus far in this book, which is saying a LOT...the guy's amazing.Finally, I will say for the record that Millar is the very close disciple of Warren Ellis, the mastermind behind Planetary (when it comes out) and the guy who took Wildstorm into awesome new directions with his Authority comic.Millar isn't on the same literary level as Ellis, sure, but his comic ideas are on par. Wanted, the comic, was also supposed to be funny. Yeah, you can say the guy writes shit, but he's what? Famous or something? And you're sitting at your computer bitching about him. Be productive, if you can't be constructive. Build an effigy and burn it! Then, at least there's a chance you could die in a hilariously ironic fire and be famous too!
-
Those clips really make me want to watch this movie!
-
Internet chat is great way to meet some super people, online!

Check out his run on "Swamp Thing" for DC Comics. Some good stuff there.
