saw it the other day and it was actually....not bad? i was really worried when jim carrey would show up because i thought hed change the tone of the movie but he was actually the most grounded and restrained ive seen him in ...in almost anything. leguizamo played a hilarious straight man too. i think this movie had some controversy when it was released but i actually enjoyed it way more than i thought

but he was actually good in it. the scene where they raid that mobsters den was awesome.

"it hurts!"
" yea theres a dog on your balls!"

that whole scene was done really well. the action in that is what the watchmen movie shouldve been. no slo mo camera pans just vigilante real world people acting like "superheroes" not that im calling kickass 2 some super intelligent deconstruction of the genre but it suprisingly did a lot right. problem is the tone was kind of everywhere and mother russia was a straight up cartoon character (awesome character but yea went too far off the rails for what the rest of the movie was going for)

And it sucks even more because it makes basically ruined the chance of a part 3 by killing off the bad giy and avoiding the cliffhanger ending from the comics. And the Hit Girl/Kick Ass romance was dumb too

Holy crap its only been 10 years? Feels like a lifetime ago movie feels so much older. Those movies were perfect representation of what early 2010s was like before mcu really took off and made superheroic comic book movies good.

umm kickass was good. its not a mcu movie ffs. its kind of its own subgenre along with movies like super and defendor. comparing it to a mcu movie is missing the entire damn point.

This is true
I didn't realize it until years after the movie came out. I never bothered to watch into the credits

he wasnt in it much killed off way too early( actually died right after leguizamo they mustve been like damn these dudes are too expensive lets kill them off) but he did a great job imo. like he actually acted instead of doing his normal schtick

its on netflix! give it a watch!

maybe because ive been watching too many craptacular "adult animated comedies" recently but i laughed harder the first 10 minutes of kickass 2 then i did in awhile. like the jokes actually landed. the boy band scene was HILARIOUS

yea im curious what the people were wanting that are calling it bad. i mean i was expecting it to be terrible and every 10 or 15 minutes i had to do a sanity check and be like am i actually enjoying this? i guess i am
like when the villian referenced chuck liddel to train and then a couple of scenes later they actually got the real chuck liddel. and that wasnt the entire joke, the scene he was in was actually funny! the movie kept suprising me with jokes that were actually good

I know the Kick Ass comics were an edgy mess but I think they could have utilized storyline involving the Hit Girl's former mentor aka Bat Dad. That Bat Dad was completely insane and murdered Hit Girls parents to make her an orphan andfulfill his delusion of being a super hero mentor.
or at least do a fake out of that

ok cool you cant tell me, you need some stupidly long youtube video to explain it. (i knew that video was going to be stupidly long before i even clicked on it, why the fuck do youtubers not get to the point? did this trend start with the plinkett reviews??)

It's hard to utilize a storyline that doesn't exist. Big Daddy is her actual father. What you're thinking of is him lying about her mother being killed by mobsters when what happened was BD kidnapped Mindy to live his fantasy superhero life.

lol ok buddy. There is a reason why Chloe Moretz said she would never come back for the 3rd movie unless they got a better writer/director. There is a reason why it made half as much money as the first one at the box office.

It was a soulless sequel trying to hard to copy the first one. The villain was so cringy it was impossible to take him as a serious threat. Katie and Dave breaking up makes no sense and craps all over what is established in the first film. The entire Hit Girl vs. Popular girls side plot is terrible and drags the movie. The whole split amongst Dave and his friends makes no sense. Hardly any of the jokes land. I could go on and on.

There is not a single metric that exists that you can use to show the movie was quality at all.

the dude in the youtube video is wrong though. hes bitching about product placement for the boy band...the fact that its a real video is what made it funny. irs so over the top parody level, and its approached that way in the context of the scene. i didnt know it was a real band until the youtuber mentioned it. hes doing that thing hack youtube reviewers do (usually channel awesome shit) wheres hes approaching his criticisms at the complete wrong angle.

Don't really need a video on it. Mr_Karate_II liking it is all you need to know.

nah we need to come up with metacritic scores and random youtube knobs to explain our opinions for us because we are incapable of coming up with our own

like its cool if you think its bad, but its kind of sad you cant even articulate that on your own. the actress didnt like it! this youtuber didnt like it! it has a bad metacritic! ok but why didnt you like it? because you were told not to?

which makes me wonder if the movie is actually bad or its just a kneejerk internet thing again. as somebody who purveys truly awful media kickass 2 was nowhere close to being included in the crap pile. it was infinitely more entertaining than a lot of recent movies

Friends,

I like it. I like ninja chicks, so put an ass kicking ninja chick in anything , and I like it.

But the first one, broke so much ground, and was fresh, that one will hold
a special place.

I still remember this quote, but I think it was from the first one-

Superheroes can't exist in the real world for a reason. It's because the real world needs real heroes, and not some punk in a wetsuit playing dress-up, but a genuine badass who can really kick ass.
