About this movie

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. (Original Title - Kick-Ass 2)

Ratings and reviews

Please don't watch it, it will only encourage them. First film was good, nice bit of fun and well made. This one is just really poor, genuinely wish I could unwatch it (and I don't say that about many films - just this and Expendables 2!). The jokes aren't funny, the plot isn't great and overall it just comes off as a film that thinks it's making really insightful comments on society and being hilarious but it's actually just very awkward and boring.

Some parts could have been better like shooting blindly into a panel van, she could have killed kickass and what was he doing when the goon was shooting through the roof at Mindy, George Shelley in union j is from my neck of the woods.

I don't understand the negative reviews on here? What were they expecting, a best picture nomination at the Oscars?? It's Kick-Was for Christ sake! Lots of violence, lots of humour and a twisted comic style storyline. There's a little bit more girl power focus with Mindy in this one that may upset the arrogant misogynists out there but it's not a bad comic book movie, especially when you think about the repeatedly cloned and lifeless format of recent Marvel movies nowadays...
