I haven't even watched kick-ass 2..

but quite often the sequels of movies are better because they don't have to go through the stories of how the characters got to be how they are and stuff like that

they can jump right in to the actual part of the movie instead of spending half the movie explaining how they got there...

so mindless action over character development any day yea?

right...

where did I ever say anything about mindless action..?

it is extremely boring watching them spend an hour of a movie covering the past of a person...

I rather enjoyed Kick Ass 2. It was slightly inferior to 1, but def delivered in every area that I expected from such a movie.

Any decent movie generally has short entertaining character development. Making a character that the viewer wants to know the past about.

Quality and Originality are the core of entertainment. Sequels generally lack in both areas because people are going to watch it just off the reputation of a successful first movie and the writers take advantage of that.

really bad? i thought first wasnt too bad

really bad imo.

The first was kinda original and as doves said, it pretty much nailed it as an adaptation of the comic book. This one is terrible - gang of over the top good guys against a gang of really over the top bad guys led by 'the mother fucker' with not much else to shout about, I didn't even like the action... unless it was a hit girl scene.

hit girl though

Second is a good film, well worth watching.

That's what I figured as well. I haven't seen it yet. But, with the "spot on" nature of the first one. And, with them continuing to use the creator of the graphic novel in the making of this film as well, I don't see how it can be "not worth watching" atleast.

its rare af for a sequel to be better. what planet are you living on lol
