He buys a scuba suit online and becomes a masked crime fighter, despite the fact he has no superpowers or training of any kind."

Drezzy75 - I saw the movie, loved it, and then read the comics, and certain changes to the story (like how Kick-Ass doesn't come up with his own name in the comic but does in the movie, how Red Mist isn't revealed to be a villain upon his first appearance, or how comic book Kick-Ass refuses to kill but movie Kick-Ass has no problem with it by the end) hurt the movie for me. Others greatly enhance it (changing Big Daddy and Hit Girl's backstory a little bit from what it's revealed to be in the comics, showing various missions that Big Daddy/Hit Girl go on, the modifications to the Big Daddy/Hit Girl costumes in general).

Bryan Lienesch62 - What starts out as an honest attempt to make the unlikely superhero comedy takes a sharp right as it becomes a dark semi-action flick.
