Saw this last night at Kingston but it was a rush to get there and if it hadn't been for the fact that my son wanted to see it (probably aimed at his age group being that he is 16) I probably wouldn't have bothered.

This one defintiely left me with a bit of a dilemma........... it was bad but a good bad - a bit like Blackpool and Las Vegas in that you know it's going to be tacky but you go anyway. Not really sure that I should have liked it as much as I did maybe it was because I had actually had such a bad day at work that it was light relief! The most surprising thing was my daughter found it a good bad like me but my son absolutely hated it.

Wasn't too sure what score to give this but between us we came to a 7/10 - marks were improved by my daughter and I both coming out and stating that we wanted to be "Hit Girl" - her moves were seriously impressive!

Did anyone else go to the Sheffield screening last night? It was my first free preview. Is there always security standing through the film?

Loved Loved Loved it! Definitely the best film I've seen in 2010. Hit Girl was just amazing she made the film for me, her one liners were just awesome. I'm another one who'll definitely be b*ying the DVD.

Never seen any trailers before a free film before so I'm hoping for a free screening of Get Him To The Greek as I loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall!

I did and no there has never been security before in a screening I've been to, I've also never seen the trailers before either. Dunno why they needed security though, I think they just wanted to watch it themselves did you notice the guy who worked for Cineworld had saved himself a seat near the back and I saw one of the security people sit down as well!

The only other screening I've been too in which there was security to this extent at Cineworld, was when I saw 'Green Street' (meh!) at a secret screening a few months before it was released. They were pretty lax to be honest, I mean when I saw 'Knocked Up' at the Sheffield Odeon (the cinematic equivalent of Dante's inferno) we were forced to remove our phones and wallets and leave them with a member of staff!

If anybody was sat around three/fours rows up from the front in Sheffield, you didn't see me...Also I kept forgetting that it was a '15' before it started, especially when quite a few kids (15/16) were coming in with their families. Which to be fair, 'Kick-Ass' isn't exactly a family-friendly film! Now if the Princess from 'Princess And The Frog' had a Beretta 92...

They sit there watching the audience with nightvision goggles to make sure no one is bootlegging it.

They had no goggles or anything though, cause I could see them, they were just watching the film one of the guys even said he was just grabbing a seat so he could watch it.

I've only ever been to one screening at Sheffield Cineworld where the security was actually stricter than last night. Think it was 3D Ice Age last year and not sure if it was a competition win rather than through FMUK. They obviously trust us FUMKER's more. They actually took our phones off us for that one and one group of teenagers actually walked away rather than hand in their precious phones. I'm sure some peoples phones are actually glued to them or maybe it's more 'mission impossible' and they will actually explode if they go outside a 5 metre radius away from their phones.

They were at the Nottingham viewing too, when everyone was seated they got our attention and said they were from universal and are there to make sure nobody films the movie. They told us to switch are phones off and then watched the audience during the whole film.

I LOL'd at the "nightvision" goggles remark

Well I know the security guys at the viewing last week had something in some cases that they were holding when we came in and I've seen disclaimers several times about nightvision technology being used in a theatre to prevent piracy.
