Movie Reviews

Post your thoughts on movies you've seen recently. Or not recently. I'm not a cop.
I was talking to my brother about Kickass 2 and he thought it was bizarre that no one thought to bring a gun to a literal knife fight when the wannabe heroes and wannabe villains clashed, considering that earlier, they shot up a funeral.
I told him that plot hole would be easy AF to patch with just a couple of short lines. The head villain doesn't want guns because he's going for comic vibes and the Rule of Cool (plus, he might secretly fear getting shot by one of his many mooks). The heroes can't bring guns because the cops are cracking down on vigilantism, so walking around while packing is a fast way to get arrested. Plus, guns clash with the whole superhero vibe and they'd reasonably fear someone getting shot in the crossfire. Each side could have a simple, 5 second scene where someone tries to bring a gun and they say no for whatever reason. Easy peasy.
