Self-made superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and sweet-faced, foul-mouthed assassin Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) try to return to life as “normal” teenagers, but soon they are faced with their deadliest challenge yet. To seek revenge for his father’s death, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) has re-invented himself as the leader of an evil league of super-villains. To defeat their new nemesis, Kick-Ass and Hit Girl must team up with a new wave of masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), in this battle of real-life villains and heroes.

Critics Consensus: Kick-Ass 2 falls short in its attempt to emulate the original's unique blend of ultra-violence and ironic humor.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Fleetingly enjoyable scenes suffer for the overall lack of cohesion. The film would have benefitted from some focus.

Retains a nearly identical tone to its predecessor - an accomplishment few sequels can boast.

Richard Propes

I'd say it's not going to please a good majority of the folks who were pleased by the original.

It's not enough to simply show violence on screen and call it 'entertainment.' What a film has to say about the violence is critical. This film does not accomplish that.

Mildly entertaining on a very superficial level, "Kick-Ass 2" is, at best, a bumpy, uneven ride.
