Kick-Ass 2
The real-life superheroes return in this action-comedy sequel based on the Marvel comic strip. With the end of college insight, and unclear about his future, Dave aka Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) decides to create a superhero team with the help of Mindy aka Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz). When Mindy is subsequently forced to hang up her costume, however, Dave sees no other option than to team up with the vigilante members of ‘Justice Forever’, led by the take-no-prisoners Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey).
But as this latest wave of costume-toting crime-fighters begin to take back the streets, they soon find themselves under attack from a reincarnated ‘Red Mist’, now known as ‘The Mother F**cker’ (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), out to exact revenge on Kick-Ass for the death of his father.
Critic Reviews:
- " Occasionally confusing but immensely enjoyable, Kick-Ass 2 is an ideal anecdote for those needing a fun comic-book adaptation. " – Katie Smith-Wong
- " Kick-Ass 2 actually develops its main characters, Hit Girl and Kick-Ass, allowing them to grow up in ways that are surprisingly fun and interesting. " – Annalee Newitz
- " Kick-Ass 2 is a giddy kind of ride, offering up well-designed action scenes and a few perfectly aimed visual gags but it never does much with its own satirical stylings. " – Nathan Bartlebaugh
