Review by Matt Finley
I’m ashamed to admit it, but I really enjoyed KICK-ASS 2. I’m ashamed because the
sequel to 2010’s ultraviolent, sailor-mouthed superhero sugar rush is at once
dumber, cruder and significantly more disjointed than its predecessor. I
enjoyed it because, I dunno… there’s a bunch of ridiculous homemade costumes,
two dudes get merked with a lawnmower, some stuff explodes, there’s some cool music…
Look, if you didn’t like KICK-ASS, don’t even bother. Written and Directed by Jeff Wadlow (CRY WOLF), KICK-ASS 2, which picks up 2 years after the original, features
many of the same characters, repeating the same inane question (what would
happen if someone tried to be a superhero in real life?), with half the
narrative and twice the swearing. Also hella puke.
