Today's News: Kick-Ass 2 character posters

Here's some fairly fresh bit of movie news you might have missed these past few days:

There's little to add to this really. I can once again state I'm superstoked for this film, considering how much I liked its predecessor. I also enjoyed the new trailer quite a bit, which promises more of the same: which is what sequels usually provide and what audiences normally hope for, though I for one would love to see this film surpass its forebear in quality, but I'm certainly not counting on it.

That said, I do believe these six posters suffer from severe uninspiredness, making them look rather dull, especially compared to some of the fabulous posters of the previous film, as seen below. Then again, these are still teaser posters, so better looking posters might still be down the pipe line sooner or later. And they at least serve their purpose adequately, teasing us with new characters and their fancy names which in the established Kick-Ass tradition border on the ridiculous, making us wonder who these people are and how they fit into the film (except for those among the audience who already have read the comics). For now, that's all that's needed until the dvertisement campaign passes the teaser stage, which will take a bit longer considering the announced delays in releasing the final product (in fact, a Dutch release date still hasn't been picked). So here's hoping I'll soon have to decorate the walls at work with far more awe-inspiring promotional materials, the kind you want to take home with you and afterwards leave gathering dust in your attic for years for lack of display space.
