Since no one has bit I will state why I posted this.

I thought the two KA movies decent fare. Not high art by any means but decent popcorn movies. What I am always most impressed by in any movie is character and character development, and the Hitgirl character was both well written and well portrayed.

Sure, a violent little psychopath, but a violent little psychopath with heart. The dynamics of her relationships with both her father and with KA himself enhanced the movies as opposed to being detriments to the story.

Plus she was ruthless to bad guys, so...

Oh, I also liked the purple hair.

I watched the first movie and LOVED it. BUt the bluray. WAtched it over and over and over. But had a life change and felt God was saying the movie was not useful in any way other then brainless filth.

So I didn't end up seeing the second one. Oddly enough even before my change I never showed anyone I knew the first movie because I felt guilty. As for Hitgirl. I did like the relationship dynamic with her father. And I did like the idea behind her... and the purple also lol. But when I seen the red band trailer for Kick*** 2 and I seen her swearing even more I really questioned it.

What does it teach kids? Kids have seen it after all. Its always appealing to them. I don't know, in the end I no longer support the movies. Now if they could tone it down I'd be more for it since the story is good.

Ok, you are correct the movies are not Christian fare, but on that note I question our ability to isolate ourselves from the world in which we live. I am not advocating indulgence, simply acknowledgement the world is what it is.

The second movie was at times over the top, but I credit this to the director falling for the typical sequel philosophy that more is better. Most times it isn't, as also evidenced by X-Men 3. But Hitgirl I thought still an interesting character.

Thanks for the response.

The second shows Mindy in society and Hitgirls struggle to follow the path her Father set for her and the path her Godfather wants her to follow.

I didn't realize Red Mist (MF) lived at the end, until I was busy and didn't turn off the player until after the credits finished.

I loved the first film, and passionately hated the second installment (both in comic book and film format): KA2 is positively mean-spirited and unpleasant.

Chloe Grace Moretz gives an amazing performance - as always - but even she cannot save a film that's so tonally uneven and ideologically questionable.

If you don't mind, what ideological concerns are you referring to?

Kick-Ass 2 cannot decide whether it wants to approach its ultra-violence with humor and irony, or whether it wants to take the matter seriously. The result is a film (and a comic) that reads less like a self-aware deconstruction of the superhero myth, and more like a bona fide advertisement for bloody vengeance.

i have not seen the hitgirl movies but i saw man of steel and it was by the same director as the hitgirl moves. and the 2016 superman vs batman film is also by that same director.

I liked KA2 better than the original.

She's going to be Hollywood's next big thing once she hits her 20s IMO, but yeah, Mindy trying to live a normal life wasted a lot of the film.

Speaking of actresses, Lindy Booth is gorgeous, but I awestruck watching her dressed as Night B.

The internet has been obsessed with chloe moretz since KA 1, she still hasn't found that role to launch her into the a-list, just a matter of time

I liked both the KA movies. No, neither was high art, but both were fun, and not without their poignancy.

I think the best role I've seen her in so far was Let Me In (2010) - IMDb

I think the swearing is realistic of how kids these days talk.

The only thing that I didn't like about her was that she was too full of herself.
