Critics Consensus

Kick-Ass 2 falls short in its attempt to emulate the original's unique blend of ultra-violence and ironic humor.

B-

While the character development and underlying premise of this installment are far more eloquently stated than they were in the first film, Kick-Ass 2, like its characters, suffers at times from a dual identity.

Chloe Grace Moretz and the character of Hit Girl are so infinitely more entertaining than the film around them, you can't help but wonder why it's not just a movie about her.

1/5

Although the film has the cheap veneer of female empowerment that comes from having a girl assassin, it is rotten with misogyny.

Perhaps a little over-dramatic at times but this movie is silly and goofy and the score reflects that, yet it gives you this sense of an awesome comic-book epic...

2/5

Squanders all the potential of the franchise to deliver an overly indulgent and abrasive experience that aimed to be controversial but ends up being embarrassing.

2/4

Fleetingly enjoyable scenes suffer for the overall lack of cohesion. The film would have benefitted from some focus.

Definitely a step down from the first film but it still has its moments. The school girl subplot with Mindy felt unnecessary and strange. I think my biggest problem is that it tried to do too many things but didn't stick to one of those, which left it feeling a bit scatterbrained. The film has a completely different feel compared to its predecessor, and you can definitely tell the director was changed. The original was clever and witty, and the sequel can feel archetypal. Some of the characters also felt overly dramatic and mean-spirited. I was a fan of some of the action scenes and it presents neat ideas, but the film can feel unweighty balancing it all. It's worth a watch and you could do a lot worse, but some of the choices made left me scratching my head. In many instances, there were moments of brilliance and glimmers of the original movie, but then it went off in some perplexing direction. There's a really great movie in there somewhere though, which frustrates me all the more
