Poster Rating: C+ / C (4) / C+

Review: (#1, C+) A nice arrangement of actors on an mediocre background with tacky red borders and accents. It struggles to create something genuinely engaging. (#2-#5, C) These comics-colored character designs have minimal appeal with colors that chafe rather than accentuate. (#6, C+) A little more interesting than the previous design, it still has some confounding decisions, including the gun pile, strange color combinations, and lifeless character poses.

Trailer Rating: C+ / C+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C+) The over-the-top action, cheesy dialogue and situations, and snarkiness of this trailer make it seem like an effort that might have some appeal to fans of Kick-Ass and its ilk but won’t ultimately do much in the way of creating a new popular genre in cinema.

(#2, C+) While there’s a bit more humor in this trailer, the premise is shifted to the background, which makes everything nonsensical. The character interactions feel forced and the whole affair wants to be seen as bloody fun rather than just exploitative.
