After Kick-Ass’ insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, he joins a patrol led by the Colonel Stars and Stripes. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist — reborn as The Mother Fucker — only the blade-wielding Hit-Girl can prevent their annihilation.

This film picks up a few years later. Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson )joins a Justice League of misfit crime fighters. Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) has promised to stop crime fighting as she stuffs dollar bills into the swear jar. Our bad guy (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) has taken on a name not worth repeating. He has started his own league of criminals.The film is let down. Kick-Ass has taken on the looks and persona of Harold Ramis. The film is filled with awkward swearing, i.e. lines read by people who don't know how to swear. The Justice League of misfits should have been a solid spoof, but instead was written rather lame.The film had potential. It opened with a re-do of my favorite scene from the first film, but since I have seen that film, the element of surprise was missing, making the scene a bust. Hit Girl as Mindy suffers from teen angst as she fails to fit in with the kids in high school.The plot was bad, characters were shallow, and the humor was a yawn. Yet there are aspects of enjoyment to be found in the film.This is aimed at the young adult audience who have to lie about their age to see it.Parental Guide: F-bombs, nudity.

3/28/18. Not a bad sequel to the original 2010 (3 years later). However, given that I watched this EIGHT years after the original, trying to follow the story was a wee bit challenging, although the story line was pretty simplistic - teens trying to live out their dream to be real life super-heroes. Alrighty then.

The movie focused on the wrong things most of the times. It didn't focus on the MC KickAss's breakup with his gf, which he clearly loved in the first movie. As if there was no impact from it and he just moved on to the casual hookups with the other heroine. HitGirls dilemmas weren't "serious" enough for me, or at least how they got resolved. The basic bitches with her? Really? In no way it could have happened. WHY it happened? What? Why the basic bitches are so smart compared to REAL LIVE basic bitches who can't even spell properly? Plus, how she resolved it was way over the top. Instead of winning at their game by getting popular and decreasing their popularity- She made them sh*t bricks. Almost literally. And puke a lot. Felt as if they just wanted to shock the viewers with over the top joke that isn't really funny because of the films original nature.Plus, Kickass fighting got suddenly bad and uninteresting (At least in the first half of the movie). His conversation with his dad was one sided (His dad was right) and he walked away like a small child instead of having an actual argument that can intrigue and make the conversation actually interesting. But it's not all bad! But, the villains journey in the movie was awesome. How he thought he is a real motherf*cker and then proved wrong just to become actually evil! Great scene! The following story development because of it was GREAT! HitGirl's character development was good from my point of view. They even said she isn't "Apologetic" and were surprised from her development. Well, I'll stop my review here. In short- MANY cons, but the pros are so darn good they make up for the cons. I give it a 7, but maybe because it's personally my style despite not being a real 7.

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.
