Most Anticipated Movies

It looks like Jim Carrey was right about Kick-Ass 2.

Ah well. I'm just hoping that Machete Kills lives up to the hype.

Hmmmm....Judging by the kind of ratings that this movie is receiving so far, it may be safe to assume that its TOO faithful of an adaptation to the original source material, given how much everyone hates that for the piece of shit that it is (or so I've heard).

It went from being a movie I was really excited for to "guess I'll check it out on DVD... maybe...".

I just remember him saying it was too violent....my kind of flick.

Oh yeah, Jim Carrey's comments actually made me want to see it more. But it currently has <30% on RT, so...

I know that they cut the rape scene out. Christopher Mintz-Plasse confirmed that. I'm not sure what else they kept in though.

I would pull out the fact that critics aren't always right, but then again, this is a movie that would be very easy to fuck up. Look at the source material.

The only reason the first film was any good was because they diverted from the source material. I can't understand why they wouldn't keep doing it.

It's worse than Old Man Logan. (NOBODY POST ANYTHING FROM THAT PLEASE)

I hope you mran that OML got a terrible animated movie because the comic is great.

I still haven't seen the first Kick-Ass. Based on what I've seen of these films in ads and trailers, I never had any desire to see them. Kick-Ass just looks...stupid to me. Like somebody decided to make a movie about those vigilante dorks who run around the streets in homemade costumes and are dubbed "real-life superheroes" by perky local news anchors. No, they aren't real-life superheroes. Superheroes by their very definition have super powers. No powers = not a superhero. Those guys are just cosplayers who take it too far. If I want to see guys in tights and flashy costumes beat the snot out of each other, I can watch UFC or pro-wrestling.

The trailers are godawful. The movie is witty and loaded with fun action scenes.

I'm not too surprised that Kick-Ass 2 isn't breaking any box office records. R-rated super hero flicks generally don't do well commercially. This is primarily due to the fact that a movie with an R rating can't be targeted to kids, which means that the producers can't launch a line of mass produced, over-priced toys and other merchandise based on the movie.

I think the reason that Kick-Ass works (at least as a movie, as I haven't read the original comic) is BECAUSE it is self-aware of the fact that its premise is stupid. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and is more of a satire of superhero flicks than an actual superhero flick itself. It's also not really trying to be realistic at all. The movie is loaded with tons of over-the-top action sequences that quite honestly make The Dark Knight look plausible in comparison.

The film's definitely not for everyone, but for what it is, it was really entertaining.

It also doesn't have some of the really dumb plot twists that the comic has.
