Some one who has seen this.....Is it worst than Kickass2 or about the same?

It’s better than Kick Ass 2. 

 

Just not particularly good, by its own standards.

Vaughn didn't do Kick-Ass 2.

He said in a interview he told Jeff Wadlow to emulate his style.

[dudalb]

Among the main complaints are

A: The movie is too long and drags in many places (I had my doubts about the running time;2 hours and 20 minutes seemed too long for this type of movie;)

B.Way too many Pop Culture references;they get very old very fast

C.Even things that should be funny (like Julianne Moore as the Big Bad) don't quite work.

29% Top Critics score.

Many also called it chauvinistic which isn't surprising.

IMDB at 7.5 with 4260 ratings so far - seems to be following a similar disconnect between critics/general audience as Hitman's Bodyguard.  

-3.3 on Letterbox with 1700+ reviews also, not terrible

Budget: 104 million

Ralph trashed this film HARD.

Jeff Wadlow clearly did everything, except emulating Vaughn's style in Kick Ass 2, lol.

 

Both movies were insanely different in everything.

Yeah Wadlow's direction made it seem less comic-booky, and more strangely "gritty". His action scenes were also worse directed, though I can't say I'm surprised by that.

7.5 before US release isn’t good. It’ll likely fall further.

I love Ralph but he has trashed some of my favorite movies of the past few years (War for the Planet of the Apes, Kubo and the Two Strings, etc.). I love listening to his opinions but I'm going into this film with an open mind.

Yeah I don't always agree with him either. His praises and trashings are amusing as fuck though.

Who is Ralph.

[MrPink]

I found it dull. There's a good hour stretch where nothing of note really happens and the action scenes here feature all the Vaughn trademarks with really none of the spark that the first film had. There are a couple ones featuring Pedro Pascal that are neat, but that was about it. I really liked the first movie and was hoping this would turn out fun but it's not even a case of bigger being better syndrome (honestly scale feels about the same), it's that there's nothing interesting Vaughn brings to the table, at all. The Statesmen could be interesting but it all feels undercooked, along with 3 other plot lines and a few wasted characters.

 

I didn't hate it, but it was just there. And there were two gags I didn't care for much at all, one for just being kind of an ugly gag without any purpose to it (I at least get where they were going with the anal scene in the first), and one that gets abused about 5 times too many

It's unfortunate that it sounds so much like a retread. It doesn't sound bad but it doesn't sound good either.

[a2k]

Going by the reception wouldn't it be hilarious if this out-grosses War of Apes (54 ow/2.75x/148.5 dom...or something like that).

I just saw and thought it was pretty good...the first one was better though...

[NoobSaibot]

I saw the first one through Redbox and loved it. Considered seeing this tonight.

 

Now after hearing my friends tear it to fucking shreds, I'm beginning to think that my decision not to go was a wise one.
