Better Late Then Never

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I remember when this movie came out, I loved it so much. I like these movies because there's no way things would go well for anyone who decided to just become a superhero. These movies are violent, brutal and emotionally so rough. But now that I've seen this movie too many times, I notice how tacky the screen writing is. Especially during those scenes where Mindy clashes with the popular high school girls. Girls can be mean, but you wouldn't know that listening to these girls talk. Still fight scenes are fun, character designs are amazing, and there's something in Kick-Ass movies that just couldn't be done in typical DC or Marvel movies, some kind of irony that could never work in Avengers. Of course Deadpool comes close, but Deadpool's not a typical Marvel movie, is it?

I 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.

I found the first Kick-Ass to be an odd but fun film that deserved its cult classic status so I was really looking forward to its sequel. Alas, what a disappointment this is. From the moment we first hear the name of the villain, it became apparent that the film was simply trying too hard. Director Jeff Wadlow included all the violence and profanity from the first film but forgot to add any of the fun, resulting in a flat affair.The key problem was how dull it all was, in particular involving the arc of Mindy attempting to adapt to life in a new school; it all seemed too contrived. And I can't believe I'm saying this but the film misses Nicolas Cage. Jim Carrey has been cast to replace him in that big-name role but bizarrely he's barely in the film. There were just too many characters to keep track of and care about.While the first Kick Ass was a great antidote to superhero movies, this is nothing more than a terrible parody.

Like its predecessor this is also a movie that tries to fit to much in the same bag. Being the sequel this tries even more. Expect stylized violence, "touching" moments, some romance, revenge, deceit, black humor and maybe the most ridiculous super(?) villain ever who also has the most ridiculous nickname ever.Chloë Grace Moretz is the protagonist here, like in the previous installment, yet is credited third. She literally kicks ass having practically superhuman powers despite the fact that the movie tries to "keep it real" and constantly reminding that "this is the real world" and "superheroes do not exist".It is a colorful movie (the ridiculous costumes add that too) but its pace is terrible. Yes, there is a big finale/final fight and the usual sentimental scene in the end, but the movie fails to achieve a proper rhythm.Younger audience might like it better but the forced messages and morales might annoy them too.Overall: If you liked the first one obviously you will check it out, but is far less interesting and the master villain is too ridiculous to fear him even if his acts are atrocious.
