Speaking of which, considering all of the pre-release fuss Jim Carrey made about Kick-Ass 2's violence and what-not, he's quite forgettable in the actual movie. Gravity, Lindy Booth's Night Bitch, Jim Carrey's ringleader character, Colonel Stars and Stripes, and others I don't remember anything about, but they're never given any room to breathe.Īnd that's the problem: They're all interchangeable, and I didn't care about any of them outside of Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl. We're introduced to all of these new superheroes, like Donald Faison's Dr. Here, it's a case of a filmmaker succumbing to the urge to make a sequel that's a supercharged version of its predecessor. But at least the first movie had a sense of control there was a story being told, and patiently, at that. One problem I had with Kick-Ass 2 is that it's too frantically paced, which is weird to say since the movie is damn near two hours long. At first, I thought I enjoyed it more than the first Kick-Ass, but now that I've dwelled on it, I prefer the original.
As fun as it was the first time-and you're right, Moretz is the best thing about it-I don't think it would hold my attention for a second viewing. However, would I see it again with my friends if they wanted to do a movie night this weekend? No. Tara Aquino: It's definitely a movie that will inspire you to beat the shit out of injustice. And the fact that, as much fun as I had watching Kick-Ass 2, Moretz is the only reason I'd want to watch it again. But I've also been thinking more and more about the fact that Chloë Grace Moretz is leaps and bounds better than everyone else in the movie. Matt Barone: It's been two days since we saw Kick-Ass 2, and I'm still in the mood to brandish some homemade weapons and beat the hell out of annoying NYC subway riders. If you're a fan of the original, try not to lose your shit. The Complex Pop Culture staff writers- Tara Aquino and Matt Barone-saw Kick-Ass 2 earlier in the week, and chatted about the anticipated sequel. However, the evil they have on their hands turn out to be far greater than anticipated, as the Motherfucker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) assembles his own army to retaliate against the hero who bazooka'd his father to death. Stars: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jim Carrey, Clark Duke, Lindy Booth, Morris ChestnutĪ follow up to 2010's Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2 follows the young hero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and young heroine Hit-Girl as they join forces with a new crop of homemade heroes, including Jim Carrey's Colonel Stars and Strips, to take down local villains.
