CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Rupert Munn A very disappointing sequel. Where the first film was sharp and fast-paced, this feels bewildering. It probably stems from cramming too much into one story - there are far too many characters, and new and old alike come and go with such careless abandon that the melee is laughably confused. The crowds of bit-part heroes and villains, the throwaway appearance of Emily, Uncle Frank's non-story, the irrelevant high schoolers - the list goes on. There are also far too many storylines set up without enough time to do them justice. The fast pace works in the first film because the story always knows where its going, and is therefore purposeful - every scene feels as though it belongs. Here, there is so much to keep track of that all the disparate elements hop around like a cloud of fleas - ultimately, they all become irritating and you'd really rather they went away. Add to this some dreadful dialogue, a less-than-convincing villain (I know this is sort of the point, but somehow the humour of his hopelessness in the first film is gone and it just seems lame and crass), and the fact that everything is as overblown as the first film but without backing it up with the same hard results - the humour and the playfulness are screamed out as 'HAHA LOOK AT THIS, YOU LIKE THIS DON'T YOU, REMEMBER HOW WE DID THIS BEFORE? LAUGH, PLEASE' - and this is a characterless mess. And the less said about the kiss at the end, the better.
Noah Kick @$$ 2 is not as bad as most people say it is but it was still bad. When the first came out I thought it looked stupid so I did not see it. I wanted to see this one because Jim Carry (my favorite actor) was in it. So I quickly saw the first and loved it. But this one definitely disappoints. Jim Carry's character was cool but died way earlier than in the comic. It also did not have the same feel of the first and was nowhere near as vulgar or violent as the first. And also did not like how HitGirl was not as bad @$$ like the first. It also was not as dark as the first. In some ways like in the comic mother fu%%er rapes katie but in the movie he is about to but doesn't. That was good but in general he was not as sadistic as in the comic. They made it very cartoonist as well. There was some good stuff. The plot was good. The fight scenes were good but not that violent. And overall the characters were good. If you liked kick @$$ you'll probably hate this one but you should still give it a try. Its only 90 minutes.
Bob Jim The movie focused on the wrong things most of the times. It didn't focus on the MC KickAss's breakup with his gf, which he clearly loved in the first movie. As if there was no impact from it and he just moved on to the casual hookups with the other heroine. HitGirls dilemmas weren't "serious" enough for me, or at least how they got resolved. The basic bitches with her? Really? In no way it could have happened. WHY it happened? What? Why the basic bitches are so smart compared to REAL LIVE basic bitches who can't even spell properly? Plus, how she resolved it was way over the top. Instead of winning at their game by getting popular and decreasing their popularity- She made them sh*t bricks. Almost literally. And puke a lot. Felt as if they just wanted to shock the viewers with over the top joke that isn't really funny because of the films original nature.Plus, Kickass fighting got suddenly bad and uninteresting (At least in the first half of the movie). His conversation with his dad was one sided (His dad was right) and he walked away like a small child instead of having an actual argument that can intrigue and make the conversation actually interesting. But it's not all bad! But, the villains journey in the movie was awesome. How he thought he is a real motherf*cker and then proved wrong just to become actually evil! Great scene! The following story development because of it was GREAT! HitGirl's character development was good from my point of view. They even said she isn't "Apologetic" and were surprised from her development. Well, I'll stop my review here. In short- MANY cons, but the pros are so darn good they make up for the cons. I give it a 7, but maybe because it's personally my style despite not being a real 7.
fung0 The low ratings for this film astound me. Kick-Ass 2 is a fine successor to the first film. It resists the temptation to rehash the original plot or themes, and instead takes the now-familiar concept to some genuinely interesting new places.The basic premise is solid: assuming these non-super superheroes persist in their activities, just how far can they get? In the first film, we see the absurdity of someone like Kick-Ass trying to do the work of the police - especially up against over-the-top villains. Our hero squeaks through based on luck and sheer determination. In the second film, we see the same guy seriously trying to live up to his aspirations. He trains hard, to become the hero he was only play-acting before. He also joins with others who've been inspired by him, each of them offering a different perspective on the whole idea. They're led by the one amateur who might actually know what he's doing: a gung-ho military type, perfectly played by an unrecognizable Jim Carrey.Along the way, we get a lot of the same uncomfortable humor and off-kilter social commentary that we saw in the first film. This time, we explore some new places (high-school values, for example) but the writing remains sharp, and continues to feel refreshingly off-beat.I don't think there's a third film to be squeezed out of the Kick-Ass franchise, but I greatly enjoyed both of the ones we've got. If you liked the original, I can't see any reason you wouldn't like the sequel very nearly as much - unless you have some sort of preconceptions of your own that prevent it.
