Kick-Ass 2

How does an action-packed movie get any better? It can't. If you loved the first, you will love the second. I don't want to give any part of the story away. Of course there were some flaws in the story that I wish weren't there, BUT they were so small that I did not care. ACTION, COMEDY, ROMANCE, EXCITEMENT, ORIGINALITY. I highly recommend seeing this movie. "Hit Girl" owns this thing. Dislikes: Jim Carey's character is great, just wish he played a bigger roll in the story, as I'm sure everyone else did. Kick-Ass plays a nerdy, unsure of himself high school kid, AGAIN. I personally would have liked to see him with a little more confidence considering what he went through on the last film. And for all you haters out there on this film, please shut up. No one cares about you. You guys don't like anything and your lives probably suck.

The novelty and certainly the originality of the first film has indeed worn off. What's left is to pick up where the first film left off. Like the end of the first movie, this franchise still doesn't know what it wants to be. I have a feeling it's no longer a franchise. They even ended the film as if to say that we will see no more of this strange and shallow universe. The tone was messy and all over the place. One minute it's violent and the next minute it's trying to comment on teenage clichés. The movie doesn't thrill or entertain yet you want to see how it all plays out. Still, I consider this a rather poor effort. For all the hype, Jim Carrey's role was very brief. I think he was in three scenes total.

Brilliant. I didn't stop laughing or wincing the whole way through! Kick Ass 2 is a hilarious, bloody piece of cinema that is great from start to end. It made me feel, it made me laugh and it made me turn away from the level of gratuitous violence shown, which was well used. I was worried that the new characters would take away the special feeling present in the first film - don't' worry, the new characters are brilliant. I loved Dr Gravity (Donald Faison) and, of course, Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). Both were brilliant and played their respective roles perfectly. Definitely worth a watch, especially if you in any way liked the first one.
