Kick Ass 2

Kick Ass 2 just came out.  We saw it with 5 or six other couples at the Esquire in St. Louis.  Not a big showing for its first week, but i kind of like it that way.

Kick Ass 2 stars the same two characters as the first one.  This time, one named red mist is out to seek revenge on Kick Ass for the death of his father in the first Kick Ass.  He's changed his name to Motherfucker after killing his mom in a tanning bed.  Later, in a scene at a prison, Motherfucker confronts his mafioso uncle who slits his guardian's throat over the phone.  That is enough to transform red mist into the motherfucker supervillain

Meanwhile, Hit Girl is getting phased out of her superhero status by her guardian to try and be a normal girl with other normal girls.  This doesn't work out well for her.  The cool kids pick on her and she suffers for it.  Still, she can't seem to betray her guardian and try to live a normal life.  She's a special girl.  Her father, the original super hero, trained her to be a walking, hitting machine.  So she feels like she's been betraying her father.  Plus, kick ass can't get her to rejoin the fighting ranks.

This movie is fairly gory.  Throats slit, glass jabbing, shark attack.  The final scenes of this movie make it all worth watching.  Also, there are a couple of good sized tits in one scene.  This movie, making it a rated R was a really good choice.  Had it not for all the boobies and violence, i probably would have just passed it.

I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars.
