The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jim Carey, Donald Faison, Clark Duke, John Leguizamo, Morris Chestnut
Director: Jeff Wadlow

Premise:
Kick Ass joins a group of citizens who have decided to become superheroes and Hit Girl tries to back away from the superhero lifestyle and become a normal high school girl. In the meantime Red Mist assembles a team of thugs to destroy every one Kick Ass loves.

My Take:
A fine sequel to the orginal. I dont recall the first movie being this gory, which is why I added it. The story is great and the cast is solid. There is plenty of action, comedy, and a surprising amount of splatter. Hopefully this sets up another sequel.

Rating: So Good
