Title: Kick Ass 2
Post by: Geekyfanboy on March 13, 2013, 09:27:54 AM
I could have sworn there was a thread for this movie but I can't seem to find it.

Check out this link for the release of the new Kick Ass 2 trailer.. looks pretty epic. This is a Red-Band trailer so you'll have to enter date of birth to watch. It has strong language.

Yeah, I can't believe that's Jim Carrey! Looks to be pretty cool...the source book is actually shockingly brutal, I wonder if it's going to be toned down somewhat. I mean, there was stuff in there I couldn't really take. Movie looks fun though.

Trailer looks pretty good.  Really enjoyed the first film and have followed all the comics in this series - even the most recent "Hit Girl" series which is pretty frakking violent (as they all are).  Hoping they keep it that way which is a lot of the point of the comics - that violence like this is a nasty business.

Yeah, I hear you but the [spoiler]gang rape scene was a bit much. [/spoiler] I hear that won't be in the movie.

Agreed.  Only so much even an "R" movie can have in it - especially one made in the States.

I'm not familiar with the source material but found the violence and language, especially as it applied to Hit Girl, to really distinguish the first film in my mind. My jaw was literally on the floor watching it, I was shocked, but was able to appreciate it and not be offended. Assuming they continue along the same route, I am very much looking forward to this. But again, I am not easily offended.

I liked the first one, so looking forward to this one. I like that they don't water it down to be PG, sort of makes it a bit more fun.

Wow what a great trailer.  Jim Carrey is barely recognisable.  Looks very good.

New, Green Band trailer.  I can't want to see this movie anymore than I already do at this point.

The first one was a lot of fun to watch! The 2nd definitely looks entertaining. I still want to read the comic at some point too. Maybe I should do that before it comes out. Has anybody read them? Is the first one pretty close to the movie?

I've read all the comics related to this property.  Things are a bit different than the movie - the comics are even more violent and nasty in some parts.  But if you like comics I recommend them highly.

I'm reading my way through The Losers at the moment, so after I finish that I may have to get my hands on a copy of the first Kick-Ass. Seems and sounds like something I'd enjoy reading. Thanks.

Red Band extended trailer - lots of violence & language in this one.  Looks like it's right out of the comics.  Can't wait!

Just got back and really enjoyed this.  Great follow up film to the one from 2010.  They take a lot from the comics too.  The actors seemed to be enjoying themselves and it was great to just get right into things quickly and into this universe again.  If you enjoyed the first one, you will definitely like this movie too.   :biggrin

Glad to hear it - saw a negative review but so enjoyed the craziness of the first one that I was looking forward to this one.  On my list now on the basis of a RicoReview.

I went and saw this today, and enjoyed it a lot. I felt it hit on a range of emotions for me. I know it did not get good reviews, but I found it held me the entire way through. I have to say, it is certainly not for the feint of heart, as some of the violence and other scenes could be a lot for some. I sure hope they do a 3rd one if this does good enough business.

Glad you liked it too Jeff.  This is really a fun film.  Lots of great action and over the top stuff in it.  I want to see it again.
