Kick Ass 2 takes place not too long after the first one. Hit Girl, aka Mindy, is now attending the same High School as Kick Ass, aka Dave.
But the moment after her Dad's Friend drops her off at school and he's gone she goes back to her Dad's place and continues training. Dave, who has stopped being Kick Ass, finds this out and decides that he wants to get back into the game and that he and Mindy should be a team. Mindy agrees to help him train but her Dad's friend finds out and tells her to stop. She goes back to being a normal teenager by making friends and whatever as Dave continues training. Dave puts a message online looking for other super hero's and he finds a group.
This group is filled with some wannabe's and some who can really kick ass, like Night Bitch and Colonel Stars and Stripes. As Kick Ass trains with his new group Red Mist, aka Chris D'Amico decides that he wants revenge on Kick Ass and he then becomes The Motherfucker just after he kills his mother.
The Motherfucker's only quest is to kill Kick Ass. He starts to assemble a gang of ruthless people but the worst is Mother Russia, she is crazy. The Motherfucker finds out who Kick Ass's real name is and goes after him but finds his father instead. The Motherfucker being completely ruthless hurts Kick Ass. Kick Ass, broken and bloodied, assembles the good guys and takes on The Mother Fucker and his gang.
I don't want to give too much away but this movie is not for people who do not like violence or people who can't take rude humour. I have heard a lot over my years and I can even have a pretty bad mouth some times but even the things they were saying in this movie made me blush. The movie is crazy violent. But overall I enjoyed it. It's not the violence I enjoyed or the language but I know the difference between a movie (fiction) and real life and I know some people can't see the difference.
For entertainment value Kick Ass delivers, plus it is pretty funny in some parts and other parts it pulls on your heart strings.
Elysium takes place sometime in the future. The rich have decided on leaving Earth leaving the sick and poor to live in filth on Earth as they live on Elysium, high above the planet living free of disease, and in privilege. Matt Damon plays Max, who has been in trouble before but he's trying to make a life for himself. He works at a factory and when he becomes trapped and infected with radiation he decides he will do anything to get to Elysium to fix himself.
Along the way he meets up with a childhood friend Frey who has a daughter who is sick too. Max, finds a man named Spider who will help Max's failing body by attaching a metal exoskeleton to his body giving him the strength to get to Elysium. But this comes with a price. Max must extract information from his old boss and during this extraction things go bad. His boss dies and the director of protection on Elysium, Jodi Foster's character, Delacourt know that this information that is now in the hands of Max is vital for her she ends up sending out a assassin of sorts Kruger, played by Sharlto Copley. Kruger is ruthless and as he hunts down Max he finds out about Frey and her daughter and brings them to Elysium along with Max who he captured. Max finds out that the information he holds in his head will allow all residents of Earth to be able to come to Elysium to be healed. But uploading this information to the server comes at a great cost.
I don't want to give away the ending but overall I enjoyed this movie. It had great action sequences, amazing visual effects and great cast. Sharlto Copley is great and scary. I enjoyed him in District 9 and in this movie.
