SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Rupert Munn A very disappointing sequel. Where the first film was sharp and fast-paced, this feels bewildering. It probably stems from cramming too much into one story - there are far too many characters, and new and old alike come and go with such careless abandon that the melee is laughably confused. The crowds of bit-part heroes and villains, the throwaway appearance of Emily, Uncle Frank's non-story, the irrelevant high schoolers - the list goes on. There are also far too many storylines set up without enough time to do them justice. The fast pace works in the first film because the story always knows where its going, and is therefore purposeful - every scene feels as though it belongs. Here, there is so much to keep track of that all the disparate elements hop around like a cloud of fleas - ultimately, they all become irritating and you'd really rather they went away. Add to this some dreadful dialogue, a less-than-convincing villain (I know this is sort of the point, but somehow the humour of his hopelessness in the first film is gone and it just seems lame and crass), and the fact that everything is as overblown as the first film but without backing it up with the same hard results - the humour and the playfulness are screamed out as 'HAHA LOOK AT THIS, YOU LIKE THIS DON'T YOU, REMEMBER HOW WE DID THIS BEFORE? LAUGH, PLEASE' - and this is a characterless mess. And the less said about the kiss at the end, the better.

Screen_Blitz Kick-Ass was a movie that both entertained and shocked audiences with its rebellious patent of taking the superhero genre and spinning into a raunchy hard-R satire with its unapolegetic delivery of ultra violence and subversive humor. It answered the witty question of why no one in real life every tried to be a superhero. Whether it or not it offended you with its morally reprehensible material (particularly from the violent and foul-mouthed Hit-Girl), it made for a wildly bold transcendence of its genre thanks to director Matthew Vaughn behind the wheel. It is sad to say that Vaughn didn't make his return to the director's chair for this sequel and is instead replaced by Jeff Wadlow whose previous effort was 'Never Back Down'. Upon watching this follow-up to the original, it seems like Wadlow may not have been the best replacement. Lacking the ironic flair and falling short of the anarchic comedic spirit that made the first film wildly entertaining, this film stands as a disappointing continuation of its predecessor. Set roughly three years after the events of the first film, Dave Lizewski (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has left his life as the crime-fighting machine in favor of picking up on his high school life. That is not the same for Mindy MacCready (played by Chloe-Grace Moretz), now 15, who is still out in the streets suited up as Hit- Girl taking down the baddies. After getting caught sneaking out by her now-guardian Marcus (played by Morris Chestnut), she is forced to give up her life of crime-fighting and go to school as a normal teenage girl. Meanwhile, Dave decides to jump back into his superhero alter- ego and recruits a band of others superhero wannabes lead by Colonel Stars-and-Stripes (played by Jim Carrey). This leads them into a battle against the former Red Mist star Chris D'Amico (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who adopts a new super villain alter-ego known as The Mother F@%#er, in attempt to seek revenge against Kick- Ass who killed his father in the last film. Matthew Vaughn brought a clever source of audacious meta-humor and an unyielding push for stylized violence and profane dialogue for the purpose of establishing a unique portrayal of the comic book genre to the original. That is what made the film vastly entertaining. Jeff Wadlow tries following his footsteps, but his attempt comes to subpar results. Whereas the violence and profane were wittily perpetrated to establish a slick comedic edge, Wadlow cuts slightly back on the edgy humor in favor of toothless sex jokes and attempts at bodily humor that almost never seem to land. And when it comes down to taking the character and setting them in the crime-fighting action, the results are less funny and fall inconsistent with some jarring tonal shifts and stabs at dark humor that occasionally get off-putting. While the action sequences following Kick-Ass and his buddies are fun and retain roughly the same amount of bloodshed displayed in the original, less time is spent with the last film's show-stealer Hit-Girl whose time on screen is reduced in favor of segments focusing on Mindy Macready exploring her life as a high school girl joining a clique of snobby school chicks, a subplot that not only feels overly derivative from 'Mean Girls', but hinders the pacing of the plot . Thus, the majority of the show is handed to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kick-Ass who, while likable, lacks the level of charisma to Chloe Grace Moretz's Hit- Girl; while a large portion to handed to Christopher Mintz-Plasse's supervillain ego whose evil demeanor feels often too vicious and over-the-top to even contribute to the darkly funny atmosphere. Jim Carrey's Colonel Star-and-Stripes, a role the actor now detests due to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting months prior, is no show stealer here; though shines with a little twinkle of charm. In the end, it is fair to say Jeff Wadlow succeeds at making the film self-aware of itself while breathing a few nice action scenes to engage in the adrenaline- fueled testosterone, even if his style of humor falls short of Matthew Vaughn's comedic beauty. Kick-Ass 2 is a moderately entertaining sequel that may boast a sense of excitement in terms of feeding audiences with its energetic action muscle, but falls shallow to the bold humor and subversiveness that ravaged the beauty of its predecessor. It comes to show that more often than not, it follow-up signals a step down from the franchise. But could the return of Matthew Vaughn helped? It is certain.

Maharishi verma Plot-- Kick ass joins a group of amateur superheros( jokers actually) lead by Colonel Stars and Stripes ,where as Mindy trying to become a normal college girl , but circumstances force them to become vigilantes, once again. Performances--- The lead cast tries to hard to do justice with their roles but script doesn't offer much for them. The real problem with this sequel is the script .The story has more violence and gore than the prequel. In one scene a criminal got killed ,in another the hero's dad got killed. For a second you think you're not watching an action comedy but you're watching a revenge drama. Even villain the Motherf*cker (Red Myst) has not much to do except only shrieking on his goons.The jokes have less humour, actually they are senseless. Jim Carrey's character is meaningless and is overshadowed by kick-ass.The ending is inspired from The Dark Knight (2008) where Mindy is going on her bike so fast. Do not waste your money, in buying a DVD, for this one .But, if you still want to watch it then watch this on Star Movies or on HBO.

Aminul Hassan I found the first Kick-Ass to be an odd but fun film that deserved its cult classic status so I was really looking forward to its sequel. Alas, what a disappointment this is. From the moment we first hear the name of the villain, it became apparent that the film was simply trying too hard. Director Jeff Wadlow included all the violence and profanity from the first film but forgot to add any of the fun, resulting in a flat affair.The key problem was how dull it all was, in particular involving the arc of Mindy attempting to adapt to life in a new school; it all seemed too contrived. And I can't believe I'm saying this but the film misses Nicolas Cage. Jim Carrey has been cast to replace him in that big-name role but bizarrely he's barely in the film. There were just too many characters to keep track of and care about.While the first Kick Ass was a great antidote to superhero movies, this is nothing more than a terrible parody.
