Cole Waters Kick ass 2 was super close to be as good as the first but was not

WARlluminati Not sure why so many people are giving this film 1 star reviews. There are films that I can't even watch 5 minutes of because they're so poorly produced or the acting is so terrible that it deserves 1 star. This movie is not one of them. I get people's take on the violence etc. but the film is rated R and it's based on a comic people! for frak's sake! Good soundtrack, great acting, and a very believable and relatable to our world if there were heroes or villains. I love Marvel and the X-Men films (for the most part) but if you believe that someone getting a sword shoved through them wouldn't make them bleed profusely then you're just an idiot. The kick-ass franchise is actually realistic in the sense that it SHOWS BLOOD. If you don't like it go watch X-Men First Class ... (not ragging on first class ...just saying...no blood...the hell??)

Dr_Sagan Like its predecessor this is also a movie that tries to fit to much in the same bag. Being the sequel this tries even more. Expect stylized violence, "touching" moments, some romance, revenge, deceit, black humor and maybe the most ridiculous super(?) villain ever who also has the most ridiculous nickname ever.Chloë Grace Moretz is the protagonist here, like in the previous installment, yet is credited third. She literally kicks ass having practically superhuman powers despite the fact that the movie tries to "keep it real" and constantly reminding that "this is the real world" and "superheroes do not exist".It is a colorful movie (the ridiculous costumes add that too) but its pace is terrible. Yes, there is a big finale/final fight and the usual sentimental scene in the end, but the movie fails to achieve a proper rhythm.Younger audience might like it better but the forced messages and morales might annoy them too.Overall: If you liked the first one obviously you will check it out, but is far less interesting and the master villain is too ridiculous to fear him even if his acts are atrocious.

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.
