Review:
I was lucky enough to be able to see this movie in theaters, but I was pregnant at the time and my hormones really messed with my perception of a lot of things. After a re-watch I believe I might like this more than I originally did.
Yes the scenes where Hit Girl is trying to figure out who she is are annoying, but then without those scenes I wouldn’t get the scene were those girls vomited and shit all over the place, and that was pretty damn funny.
It was also really violent, and while most of the time I don’t mind that, with this movie there were times I had to look away. Not sure why and I don’t feel like analyzing it at this moment to figure it out.
Overall I liked the story and the movie. I do find it funny that Jim Carey starred in this and then spoke out against gun violence. What a dick.
4/5
I’m a big fan of Kick-Ass, but I hated this movie. The filmmakers took several liberties with the book that I didn’t care for. The book, “Kick-Ass 2,” is also the worst in the series. But, luckily, Mark Millar wrote “Kick-Ass 3” to conclude Dave and Mindy’s story. And I absolutely loved the ending! If you like reading comic books, then I highly recommend you check it out.
