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.
xristoff93 I have been hearing a lot about kick as 2 before I actually checked it out,usually bad stuff.I must say it did not disappoint me!Maybe the first movie introduced the but the second was as refreshing as ever.It had good action and new characters.Action scenes were awesome and the group of Justic Forever was really something.They brought a nice vibe in the film.Of course there were also some things that did not really fit in there.The acting was pretty solid and we got to see an aspect of the amazing Hit Girl,trying for the first time in her life to be a normal teenager.The way those bit**es and as**oles acted shows exactly what a shi*-hole high school is and how damaged are the people of those ages.Dave's girlfriend was so small in this movie I got a headache,so I am not going to comment on her anything else.Just lame.Night bit*h was fine and sexy,I mean that body was rocking!!But in the end she didn't seem like an appropriate match for Kick-a*s.So I am glad they did not go on.I expected something more from the members of JF,after they had just become a thing.They did some nice things and dealt with a case of gangsters and then star and stripes died.That was a bit of a letdown since he was an amazing character.Also we didn t see what happened of his dog.Dave and the fat one were acting like divas and ditched their friend Todd(I preferred the other actor better),I expected to see some developments there,between them,but in general the character development was kinda weak in the film,so it was to be expected.Only HG had some additions and expansions on her character.The ending battle should have had less killing among st the small characters,I mean it is not Kill Bill and it should focus more on Kickas and Hitgirl working together,at least up to a point.They were training and talking about it since the beginning of the movie and we did not see that anywhere.Hg was once again amazing!The Kickas vs dark f*ggot fight was cool with many great scenes but the dialogue somewhere towards the end got pretty weak...There was a nice escalation but the hype was for nothing.Kickas is just a nice and soft guy.He should either be displayed as a bit more vengeful or more righteous.Now we saw a bit of both and not in great sync,so the result was not the best.I hated how effing stupid his friend Todd was.Last but not least,some time after the middle of the movie,we see HG coming really close with Dave and towards the end of the movie we see her having some feeling for him.They look pretty good together and there is a deep connection between them.Their kiss was nice for Hollywood but superficial.It could have been a bit more important.Too bad they did not go down that way for those two.I am not into much of a romance,but since it was giving the impression it was going somewhere towards there,why not?It's a 7/10 for me,not more because of the bad ending and the weak,at times,plot.Overall I enjoyed it pretty much!If there is a 3rd movie coming up,I really hope they do not just stay on their former success and actually try for it to be a decent movie.
maxmanthedon Kick-Ass 2 started out promising. The story, with Hit-Girl being forced to retire and leading Kick-Ass to form his own team was a fine start. Jim Carrey was fun as Colonel Stars and Stripes, and the movie was shaping up. But from the moment Chris D'Amico arrived, he was annoying, and just got worse. Mother Russia and the other "super villains" were awful, and the fact that Dave's geek friends become heroes like "Ass- Kicker" and "Battle-Guy" is cheap. It was overly violent (and not in a fun way like the first one), boring at some points, and a rip-off of itself. The first one was much better. Though I would recommend it to fans of the first, if anything to finish the saga, Kick-Ass 2 was overall a disappointment.
will tucker ***spoilers*** I think that Kick-Ass 2 fell victim of the classic sequel syndrome that plagues the movie industry these days. In sequels they look to mix things up but still keep the fire from the first movie alive.In Kick-Ass 2 they had definitely kept the humorous and kick ass fighting scenes that made me love the first movie but after hit girl tries to fit in with the mean girls at high school, wets her pants over some one direction knock off, then goes on a date with some random jock that just met her just to dump her in the woods, and her only way of revenge hit girl the most bad ass superhero in the whole franchise gets revenge by dressing up all pretty pretty and makes them all vomit milk and spew pudding out their asses with her "sick stick".I'm just all sorts of disappointed from this sequels simply because they made half the movie about hit girl trying to quit doing what she does best. I did think there were some other draw backs to this sequel but they could have been completely disregarded if they could have just let hit girl be hit girl or at least just made her a small part of the movie because I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I do think it is worth watching just don't go into this movie expecting too much out of it.
