I doubt they'll make a third. This has been fizzling at the box office thus far.

Hit Girl is the best. She is a cool character. The first one was good. I will see #2.

They have the "Jim Carrey ****ed us over" excuse, and DVD sales will be critical.

It looks like it did not do bad. It did go up against oprahs movie which would bring in her watchers.

No, it did poorly. It finished in fourth, behind We're the Millers and Elysium. It was a sequel that only did about 2/3 of the original. And it got savaged by the critics. I doubt we see a third, especially since the breakout character is growing up quickly and will certainly ask for more money, if she wants to film it at all.

The fans will probably do a "Dredd" movement and buy the DVDs like crazy, and start up petition websites that'll be backed by the producers and stars of the movie

**** the critics, I cant wait to see this

And? It is following the first movie formula.

Cost 28mil to make

13mil US, almost 7mil UK, has not opened everywhere else. So only 8mil to go to break even after the first week.

But here is the kicker. Kickass makes all of its money on dvds. It will get close to 100mil or break it with world wide, again.

Which is great for small films..

No idea why people keep saying it flopped. It is almost like the critics want shit to flop so we can keep getting transformers.

It'll need to make about 56 million to break even, if you factor in promotional costs.

This movie was pretty reeruned. The script was awful, the plot outright sucked. It was lifeless and barely entertaining. Running strictly on the evaporating fumes of success the first movie had. Kick-Ass turned into a wimpy douche, and Hit Girl was conflicted and inconsistent and couldn't carry the role. Jim Carrey had about 3 minutes of total screen time.

If you read the comic that's pretty much the longevity of character to the story, and in the comic mindy was conflicted untill the very end.

It doesn't matter if the comic was any good. Their goal (ostensibly) was to make a good movie, not to make a faithful retelling of a comic book. If they couldn't change the story enough to make the movie work any better - which movies do all the time - they should've told a different story.

It had a couple of bright spots, but it really wasn't very good. The best superhero movie of the year so far (as far as I'm concerned) is still The Wolverine, which is hardly a ringing endorsement of the genre.

You say it like that's a bad thing. That was the best part...not having to watch that douche for very long. This movie fell flat, I didn't think it was horrible but it was nowhere near as good as the first. Pretty disappointed to say the least.

I wholeheartedly disagree, because the comic was good and so was the movie. They changed a bunch of shit to make it more tame for the general public too.
