I just wish they don't forget that what made Kick Ass so great was not primarily the violence but the clever humour.

Obviously, can't speak to the film's humor compared to the first one, but I can say that he was wrong about the rating. I don't know why he would think a major film like this would limit itself to a small audience that an NC-17 rating would bring. Anyway, it got Rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, crude and sexual content, and brief nudity.

 

The fact that it has Jim Carrey in it suggests it won't be funny at all though  :/

I'm not watching any of those clips. lol. Sometimes too much ruins it for me during watching the film. 

So... Gettin a group together for this movie? lol


 

haha love Ella Purnells line at the end of the clip 'Im soaked'
Yep, this movie is gunna own :)

 

The clip/song itself sucks, you might wanna mute it apart from the talking bits

Hope this isnt gonna be a let down, seems to be hyped too much!

reviews from advanced screenings in Toronto suggest its better than the first. (and reading the comic and knowing the storyline already, I totally agree)

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
