(Originally see a few years ago) I hate the first film, but this one I hate even more, it has a nastier streak about it, with some really unnecessary violence that serves no purpose, only to promote suffering, among the disgusting things that happen for show include a person getting their throat cut open for no reason, which felt sadistic, a person getting tortured till they snap his neck in slow motion within a leg lock and a spoilt, repulsive teenager kicking his mom's tanning bed, killing her because he did not get what he wanted. This film is sickening, it's like Wolf Creek and The Hitcher, all of these films promote torture, suffering, and vile, repulsive moments to earn a profit and I hate them, these are some of the worst films ever made but unlike trash, they are bitter to there core, they didn't try to be dumb, they tried to be nasty and I loathe everyone of these pathetic exercises in torture and sadism. Kick-Ass 2 is also terribly acted with some detestable character's too, where you would hope a nuclear bomb wiped everyone out on screen, among other things is it's use of language, it's unnecessary and promotes a young girl swearing, saying look this is cool, she can kill people to, watch her stab this guy, or cut this guy's arm off. Kick-Ass 2 you are a piece of s**t and the people who made this lack humanity, intelligence and compassion; I hate this film with a passion. 0/10
... View MoreI feel like rating this sequel a 1 might be a little too harsh, maybe a 3 or 4, but I don't want you to get me wrong, it's not a little bit good, there are some moments, but they are all very tiny. It is bad, but it's not terrible...wait, I don't want to say that it isn't terrible though which is very deserving, but it's not so terrible that it deserves such negativity. But on IMDb, "1" is listed as "awful" so I want to go with that. There are way worse films than this.I loved "Kick-Ass", it was and still is one of my favorite movies of all time...but this follow- up RUINED it. It didn't just ruin the first movie, it destroyed everything I LOVED about the first movie.It's so hard to go into detail and emphasize just how frustrated I am, because that was how let-down I was...I have too many strong feelings about the sequel. Kick-Ass 2 is just...a flop on so many levels. The story was incredibly uninteresting and not exciting at all. Most of the film's focus takes time on Mindy/Hit-Girl that it forgets the moral of the first movie. Mindy's character gets way more focus in the movie than the main character himself, Kick-Ass.This series went from being a hilarious comedy...to a boring-ass melodrama. This is not because I don't like drama, and I am not just all for action and gigs. Kick-Ass had a good balance with the action, comedy and drama altogether. This movie lacks everything the original was about. It forgot its moral structure and tone. There was barely any comedy in this film. This film is all about Mindy fitting in school.1 out of 10 does feel a bit strong but this film ruined everything. Andy hooks up with a new girl and breaks up with his girlfriend from the first movie as if it was nothing, when the first film was largely about the girl he loves. Unfortunately those two break up by the middle of the movie. I'm surprised she even had a role in this.This film didn't deserve to be made. In a way, it does slightly ruin my experience when I re-watch the first movie.
... View MoreI have been hearing a lot about kick as 2 before I actually checked it out,usually bad stuff.I must say it did not disappoint me!Maybe the first movie introduced the but the second was as refreshing as ever.It had good action and new characters.Action scenes were awesome and the group of Justic Forever was really something.They brought a nice vibe in the film.Of course there were also some things that did not really fit in there.The acting was pretty solid and we got to see an aspect of the amazing Hit Girl,trying for the first time in her life to be a normal teenager.The way those bit**es and as**oles acted shows exactly what a shi*-hole high school is and how damaged are the people of those ages.Dave's girlfriend was so small in this movie I got a headache,so I am not going to comment on her anything else.Just lame.Night bit*h was fine and sexy,I mean that body was rocking!!But in the end she didn't seem like an appropriate match for Kick-a*s.So I am glad they did not go on.I expected something more from the members of JF,after they had just become a thing.They did some nice things and dealt with a case of gangsters and then star and stripes died.That was a bit of a letdown since he was an amazing character.Also we didn t see what happened of his dog.Dave and the fat one were acting like divas and ditched their friend Todd(I preferred the other actor better),I expected to see some developments there,between them,but in general the character development was kinda weak in the film,so it was to be expected.Only HG had some additions and expansions on her character.The ending battle should have had less killing among st the small characters,I mean it is not Kill Bill and it should focus more on Kickas and Hitgirl working together,at least up to a point.They were training and talking about it since the beginning of the movie and we did not see that anywhere.Hg was once again amazing!The Kickas vs dark f*ggot fight was cool with many great scenes but the dialogue somewhere towards the end got pretty weak...There was a nice escalation but the hype was for nothing.Kickas is just a nice and soft guy.He should either be displayed as a bit more vengeful or more righteous.Now we saw a bit of both and not in great sync,so the result was not the best.I hated how effing stupid his friend Todd was.Last but not least,some time after the middle of the movie,we see HG coming really close with Dave and towards the end of the movie we see her having some feeling for him.They look pretty good together and there is a deep connection between them.Their kiss was nice for Hollywood but superficial.It could have been a bit more important.Too bad they did not go down that way for those two.I am not into much of a romance,but since it was giving the impression it was going somewhere towards there,why not?It's a 7/10 for me,not more because of the bad ending and the weak,at times,plot.Overall I enjoyed it pretty much!If there is a 3rd movie coming up,I really hope they do not just stay on their former success and actually try for it to be a decent movie.
... View MoreThis is a very bad film! Besides having all the drawbacks of its highly overrated prequel (it pretends to show common people becoming superheroes but indeed show hyper-violent and criminal child who fights better than Batman) it has much worse and absolutely unfunny jokes, a lot of prejudice (against Arabs, Asians, gays, women... and I am not talking about the racism of a character, like the M0therfvcker, but about the whole film), awful dialogs. I expected that at least Jim Carrey could save the day... but he did not. The plot itself is a disaster: Mindy cannot be a superhero because she promised to her father who made her a superhero that she would obey his friend who doesn't want her to be a superhero? That's nonsense. The way Ass- Kicker became a super villain was also so silly, so childish! As a matter of fact, super villains in this film are even worse than superheroes. Seeing the "evil army" reminded me the worse of comic book films from the 80's, without their qualities. All the parody of Watchmen (the picture on the wall, the outlawing of costumed vigilantes...) could be nice if the rest of the film were nice, but it isn't. I also think that, as the movie pretends that common young people are the heroes (15 years old Hit Girl shoots real guns!), they are really stimulating violence among teenagers in a very dangerous way. And what the hell was that absurd last quote?!
