Its no secret that I idolise Kick-Ass, but the more I see of this half hearted sequel, the more I get underwhelmed. Its actually depressing to think that a movie that was so awesome with have what is shaping up to be, a crock of shit sequel. And depending on what side of the fence you lie on, a 4 odd minute NSFW trailer should be enough to confirm things are not boding well for Kick-Ass. It seems very far removed from Millar’s original sequel, which turned the madness and the violence up to 11. Wheres the comic books grand finale in Times Square? In a fucking warehouse thats where! And you can count the absolutely shitty green screen effects here. Some of them are incredibly bad, check out Hit Girl on the van, check the part in the disused quarry! Seriously!!!! Did anyone give a fuck making this? Millar has been harping on twitter about how great this is. I hope he’s right, but what does it matter. He’s got his cash! I’m calling this now! Kick-Ass 2 is going to be a disaster!
Anyway, check it out below and drop me a comment and let me know what you think!
