Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Memorable, crazy movie

Good concept, poorly executed.

Blistering performances.

Its not horrible - but it does feel like this movie is made by someone still in school. The violence is all over the place - sometimes its seems to be toned down to 60's Batman style where people get hit but not hurt, and at other times the violence is just horrific. One scene of a bad guy getting kicked off a truck and then run over - is just one of the most horrific (and not enjoyable) things I've seen.However the movie is definitely watchable - because I doubt too many people will be expecting much from a sequel.

I feel like rating this sequel a 1 might be a little too harsh, maybe a 3 or 4, but I don't want you to get me wrong, it's not a little bit good, there are some moments, but they are all very tiny. It is bad, but it's not terrible...wait, I don't want to say that it isn't terrible though which is very deserving, but it's not so terrible that it deserves such negativity. But on IMDb, "1" is listed as "awful" so I want to go with that. There are way worse films than this.I loved "Kick-Ass", it was and still is one of my favorite movies of all time...but this follow- up RUINED it. It didn't just ruin the first movie, it destroyed everything I LOVED about the first movie.It's so hard to go into detail and emphasize just how frustrated I am, because that was how let-down I was...I have too many strong feelings about the sequel. Kick-Ass 2 is just...a flop on so many levels. The story was incredibly uninteresting and not exciting at all. Most of the film's focus takes time on Mindy/Hit-Girl that it forgets the moral of the first movie. Mindy's character gets way more focus in the movie than the main character himself, Kick-Ass.This series went from being a hilarious comedy...to a boring-ass melodrama. This is not because I don't like drama, and I am not just all for action and gigs. Kick-Ass had a good balance with the action, comedy and drama altogether. This movie lacks everything the original was about. It forgot its moral structure and tone. There was barely any comedy in this film. This film is all about Mindy fitting in school.1 out of 10 does feel a bit strong but this film ruined everything. Andy hooks up with a new girl and breaks up with his girlfriend from the first movie as if it was nothing, when the first film was largely about the girl he loves. Unfortunately those two break up by the middle of the movie. I'm surprised she even had a role in this.This film didn't deserve to be made. In a way, it does slightly ruin my experience when I re-watch the first movie.

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??)

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.
