Must Watch: Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass Theatrical Trailer

Lionsgate debuted a second full-length theatrical trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass today. At this point, after two other previous trailers, I don't think this movie needs an introduction. And I don't think I need to tell you that this looks totally frickin' awesome! If you're not convinced to go see this after watching this trailer, then there really is no hope for you! You should be able to tell by now what's going on. Anyway, I've said enough about the movie, it's time to fire this bad boy up & enjoy. I really do think this is some of the best marketing Lionsgate has ever done and I can't wait for Kick-Ass to hit theaters! Fire it up below.
Watch the full theatrical trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass from YouTube:

Dave Lizewski one day decides to be a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or any reason.
Kick-Ass is both written and directed by British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, of Layer Cake and Stardust previously. The screenplay was co-written by Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman, of Stardust as well. The story is an adaptation of Mark Millar's comic of the same name that is currently in the middle of its first series. Kick-Ass was funded entirely by Matthew Vaughn and his own private investors and sold once finished earlier this year. Lionsgate is debut Kick-Ass in theaters everywhere April 16th this spring.

Now this is what I call a trailer. After that weak teaser I didn't know what to expect next, but now I'm really excited that they stepped things up.

Forget Iron Man 2 and Clash Of The Titans. Kick-Ass is the movie to beat in 2010.

Not a January junk, but definitely not a "summer movie", so the April release date is about right and I'm sure they won't change it.

You can tell when red mist jumps off the dumpster he says ''oh shit''. LOL. Other than that, looks like a fun movie and looking forward to it.

I gotta say, for a movie not funded by a big studio this looks very well polished and put together. I'm not at all familiar with the Kick-Ass comics so I can't tell if this is supposed to be funny or not?

#9. Read the fucking comic, you tool. Cinema ignorance. What was your favorite movie ever, 'Dark Knight?' Eat it, mary. This looks unreal. Midnight, bitches!
Shannon S on Jan 8, 2010

@ 20 and 23: Calling me "twat" and "mary?" No need for a rebuttal. I hope you "men" have fun watching - I mean wasting your time with this shit.

@9/24. You sad lonely pretentious blouse. Take the film for what it is, fun. Just because it has no subtitles or art house director doesn't mean it's shit.
sonnychiba1 on Jan 8, 2010

this shit looks funny as hell. Mark Strong and Mathew Vaughn (sp?) have me there without seeing a thing, but after this... hell yeah.

And in Cage's case..... " THEY CAN"T ACT!!!!!" Xerexx...you have just lost all cred if you think this is awesome.

"I think I'm in love with her, Dude!" Get in line. I saw her first. I'm there......

clover - why are you singling out xerxex? many here (including myself) are really into this movie! since when is your opinion so much better than the rest of us? and by the way - you shouldn't be talking about his "cred". you can't even spell the guys name right.........all you had to do was look at his comment to see how it's spelled! that's a pretty lame mistake. hey, #21..........i totally agree! hit-girl and her dad need a movie of their own.

Clover I never knew I had cred on this site, and if I never had it then how could I lose it? Conundrum! Beavis and Casshern, a spin-off with Big Daddy and Hit Girl would be awesome! Fingers crossed!

The action looks solid but the acting and dialogue are AWFUL ---- seriously, complete garbage
Joel on Jan 9, 2010

i love the step cinema made with comicbook movies, if you like the comic you like the movie, and if you dont like it dont feel so pushed to say it because you ruin the fun all the people here are obviously having, and watching little girls killing people is never a waste of time booooya!!!

Sick. Sick. Sick. Along with "300", "A History Of Violence", , "V for Vendetta", "Sin City" and "Watchmen", this looks so cool a R-rated comic book film. I'm there.

I thought the first trailer looked stupid. This looks great though.
Brian Ricci on Jan 9, 2010

Hey, i'm sorry i was such a huge douche-bag. i think if i were in the mood for some easy fun, without having to think so much about what the film was trying to say, i might enjoy this movie. it's just been really hard for me lately because my girlfriend left me for this other guy whose really into action movies and i just can't get over it....... hhaha. jk, this is a different Sean. this movie looks cool.
Sean on Jan 9, 2010
55
It could be funny. I kept waiting for the part where the cops come flying around the corner and arrest these people and put them in involuntary detainment. However, looks like it could be funny.
Quanah on Jan 9, 2010

@54 - So funny! and very likely to be true.

Kick-ass is the only freakin' way to describe this movie! I love Cage's laugh after he says "ass kick." XDD
Lar on Jan 9, 2010

Looks like Nicolas Cage is finally acting!! he looks great
Zombie on Jan 9, 2010

#59 - why? Because you read the comic & don't want to see it turned into a movie, or because you suck at life?
Me on Jan 9, 2010

As usual BEAVIS....you missed the point-it was a joke. The spelling was the joke. It is not the film genius.....IT'S THE "actor" playing the lead. I would love to see this, alas.....I avoid bad acting like the examples in the trailer. Cred X....street cred. You have it Pal. I have payed attention to your posts. I ususally agree with you. Except for the Cage. WOAT!
Clover on Jan 9, 2010
61
Thanks Clover, I just can't give up on Cage its something my Father did to me, ever since we watched Leaving Las Vegas together.
Xerxex on Jan 9, 2010
62
Clobberin' time!
Fisherr on Jan 9, 2010
63
the reason i missed YOUR point, clover is that your points are never well thought out. i can't think "stupid". and the spelling was a joke?.....yea, sure it was....... LOL your convoluted "point" on the acting?....... it's not accurate. the acting seems satisfactory to deliver some great action and funny moments. i'm not familiar with aaron johnson. i don't know that he could deliver in an "acting-heavy" dramatic role; but, he seems to be adequate playing the confused, misguided "super-hero wanna-be" type. and cage is doing a good job playing a guy who is a very eccentric (if you know the meaning of such a large word) dad. dude, the acting is ok in this. just what are you wanting? - this isn't "war and peace" or some art house film. and as far as cage is concerned: you must not watch many movies or be 15 years old to not know some of the cool movies he's been in.........birdy; raising arizona; leaving las vegas; 8MM, bad lieutenant; moonstruck, con air; family man; lord of war - and these are just me thinking for a few seconds. nope, i didn't miss your point. as usual - you didn't make a valid point to begin with.

Careful Joel.....some here ( Beavis for instance) obviously don't know anything about the craft of acting, let alone film making. You are correct! As far as this Beavis infant....yes I do, and no I am not. I have been in the business over 30 years. I have made this point on the inept timing, screen presence and the facts of the co-stars taking over the frame time and time again. Plus the acting coach in So Cal that has Cage on a loop to PROVE to the students, just how not to do it. And if I remember correctly......you are also a Seth Rogen fan. (which speaks volumes in your taste, or lack there of) The mere fact you did not get the spelling joke, ( which I have done perhaps 7 times with Cred X's handle) proves with out a doubt...YOU don't get it. Go away little boy, get tough with someone else behind your keyboard. God damn me for having an educated observation! Cred X goes 70!

Yeah I have to agree with Clover on the credibility of Xerxex. I look for your posts every time I'm on here. Very rare to see someone with knowledge who understands what is going on and what is supposed to be going on. I can't stand reading ignorant comments from ignorant people. Anyone who gets on here and rates any movie as pure trash is just trash himself, or herself. Xerxex, I had to break into the 80's.
