I was so excited when I heard that they were making a Kickass 2 movie because I really enjoyed the first movie and the comic series. I even went to the premiere showing. I feel like it was a joke they literally took out just about everything I loved from the comic. The one redeeming factor was Cornell Stars and Strips (Jim Carry). His part was actually really good but he was only in it for like 5-10 minutes. It seemed like a movie for kids and the messed up part they took out some of the more violent scenes and instead did raunchy jokes about 15 year old girls. For example a boy band plays and one of the girls mentions how shes soaked. It really seemed so anticlimactic and the way it ends means that the 3rd Kickass is going to be nothing like the comic. Hitgirl doesn't even get arrested at the end and The Motherf!@#$r actually dies instead of getting crippled. There was no intense scene at the end in Times Square with the cops attacking the villains and heroes indiscriminately . All in all the movie missed the mark in so many ways and I pray to god that they don't make a 3rd movie. I read the first issue of Kickass 3 and the way the movie ended means that the 3rd will be even less like that comic. I understand the director can take some creative liberties but he literally took away just about everything that made the first movie and comics so awesome. I was looking forward to this movie for months and kept talking it up to all my friends and now just feel like it was a waste of 103 minutes of my life. Maybe If you go to the movie with no expectations and haven't read the comic series then you might enjoy it a little.

Brilliant

Reminds you of so terrible reality shows are getting. Most people probably can't handle how gross the first half is but it is so funny and brilliant. By the end I was actually somewhat touched, which you would never initially expect from this short. If you like absurd raunchy comedy you should love this. I love Tim and Eric (excluding Billion Dollar Movie) and this would for sure be one of my first recommendations for anyone who hasn't seen them. Tim and Eric's comedy is so random and awkward that 15 minutes is really the perfect length for them. Probably why their show with 15 minute episodes was so great and why their movie was so horrible.

Hard to Watch but Painfully Real

People say the characters are hard to relate to and be empathetic towards which is completely wrong. If you hate the characters you are empathizing with them because they obviously hate themselves even more than you. With that being said it was very hard to watch some scenes and they dragged on too long, but the feeling of pointlessness in life that so many in this generation feel (including me) makes it understandable why the movie is the way it is. The repetitiveness, hopelessness, and boredom of modern life depicted through a 90 minute movie. All of us are looking for happiness but very few actually find it.
