    It tried to be this movie, but less funny instead.

    seriously didn't like it? what expectations did you have?

    I loved it, if you enjoyed the first, I can't see how you couldn't like this one.

    It was just as edgy as the first, I'd say even more violent than the first

    the only complaint I had was there was more of the Mindy character and less Hit Girl

    I enjoyed the hell out of it and plan on seeing it again

    Glad you feel this way. I was worried after seeing the trailers. Reaaaally loved the first movie / the comic.

    High expectations considering the first movie was my favorite when it came out that year. I didn't think it was all that funny to be honest. Jim Carrey was the character I was looking forward to the most and what he brought to the film was less than stellar.

    100% agreed.

    I was sitting next to a 7 year old and when the
    anal beads
    came up he turned and asked his mom why the people were laughing. Yeah, good luck explaining that, you terrible, terrible parent. Seriously, who brings their kids to see Kick Ass? It's the trifecta of bad things for kids - language, nudity, and ridiculous violence.

    This movie was badass. The Motherfr and John Leguizamo were hilarious.

    John Leguizamo was hardly noticeable in a very forgettable role.

    the new supporting characters were great, Leguizamo, Faison, and Carrey were great in their limited roles

    Night b**** was freaking sexy, and to those wanting Lyndsy Fonseca, she's barely in it for maybe 3 mins and had like 2 lines in the movie

    I'm betting this turd will drop to 50%. By the look of the trailer it's not even funny since it's been done better in the first one with good comedy timing. Totally love the first one but this one is just flat.

    There are tons of mediocre clips out there. Go watch them.

    You must be one of those people who watch a highlight clips of a player and act like you know everything about that player.

    I can't help you if you think most of those clips aren't ****. They hired a no name director that directed some garbage to take over for Matthew Vaughn. A terrible mistake. This thing belong straight to video. Don't be surprise when this thing drop to under 30%.

    Typical Bebop, making prejudgment on things when it's already decided he won't like them in his mind.

    I had a feeling changing directors was going to be problematic. :(
    Guess I'll be seeing Elysium instead.

    DON'T DO IT ELYSIUM SUCKS. Kick-Ass 2 is waaaaaay better. Unless you love watching Matt Damon lecture about how we should let every immigrant in and have universal healthcare for two hours.

    I saw where he was disturbed by the movie
    and generally boycotting it after the Sandy Hook thing

    When did Matt Damon ever do that in the movie??? He's pretty much an anti-hero. And the movie is worth it if only to just see the tech and world they created.


    It's down to the 20s now. Well at least The Worlds End is still lookng real good.
