Here's a situation where the negative reviews did not seem to be fair .The movie only picked up a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I think a fairer score would have been somewhere in the mid 50's. I actually enjoyed it probably more than Elysium.
Main issues:
1. No longer novel, just "more of same."
2. The Hit Girl plotline took her out of action for the middle of the movie, where actually she's the most entertaining person in the series.
3. Kind of meandered around without much of a goal.
4. The characters weren't necessarily memorable.
I don't think I would have recognized Jim Carrey if I didn't know who he was playing -- it was actually a pretty restrained performance by him (in a movie prone to excess, especially) than you would have seen from him in the early or mid 90's.
I was the only person in the theater who sat through the entire credits, not even expecting anything... and yes to my joy, there's a final clip at the very end of the movie. I mean, the bar was set by Marvel: What kind of superhero movie doesn't have a teaser clip at end of film nowadays? Nothing spectacular, but it does reopen a can of worms that I thought was empty.
