Dave (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), aka Kick-Ass, and Mindy (Chloë Grace Moretz), aka Hit Girl, are trying to live as normal teenagers and briefly form a crime-fighting team. After Mindy is busted and forced to retire as Hit Girl, Dave joins a group of amateur superheroes led by Col. Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), a reformed mobster. Just as Dave and company start to make a real difference on the streets, the villain formerly known as Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) rears his head yet again.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Reel Talk Online

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.

Rated: B-

Flavorwire

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.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

InSession Film

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...

Rated: B+

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

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.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2/4

kevin c Fun and entertaining Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Gary W It's ok but nowhere near as good as the first one. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Alan T It's not as bad as people think. Maybe not as good as the first film but only a little bit lacking, so my score is still the same as the first one. Though for Kick-Ass/Dave, I wish if he had a better ending and had better interactions with certain characters. Jim Carrey was pretty cool in this movie even though his role was short. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Alilali42 should have ended on the first movie. Tbh, but I guess this was entertaining too Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Dave B Any movie that has diarrhea as a gag will be hard to watch. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Gabriel Valentim Muito bom o filme. Recomendo assistir.É um filme que entrega uma qualidade parecido com o filme que antecede este, mas tem alguns pontos que poderiam ter sido melhores.
