Review Kick-Ass 2
I just watched the prekuel 2 days before watch this movie and I really can't wait to watch this movie. Instantly fell in love with it, just like everybody else, because rooting for the underdog is what we all like to do. Big Daddy and Hit Girl were awesome, and with Kick Ass, they really left a big impression.
During the hype and build up of this movie a certain actor in this movie railed against all the violence, blood and gore. Well it turned out that actor was completely correct in saying the action and violence was over the top. But in my opinion the violence was not over the top it was perfect.
Two years after the events of Kick-Ass, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor- Johnson) wants to get back into the superhero game and starts to train with Mindy Macready/Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz). Dave as Kick-Ass soon teams up with other costumed vigilantes he has inspired and lead by ex- mob enforcer turned Born Again Christian Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). But Hit-Girl does not want to return due to promise she made with her adopted father, Marcus (Morris Chestnut) to be a normal girl and deal with the school bitches. Even worst Chris D'Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), wants revenge against Kick-Ass and plans to become the world's first supervillian, The Mother-F**ker
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz are now the lone lead stars in this sequel. They are both amazing actors and shine in this movie. Moretz stole the show, and overshadowed everyone in each scene she was in. By the end of the movie, as some have already said, it is hard not to absolutely love her, and see her in a completely different light than the previous movie. Carrey really steals the show in this movie as General Stars and Stripes. I just wish his character was used more because he steals the show. This time Mintz-Plasse is the highlight of the movie: he has the best jokes, he has the best lines and delivery and he was just entertaining as the villain. He has presence on screen in his gimp suit and attempting to be evil. The best of the new cast was bodybuilder Olga Kurkulina who has obvious has physical presence, but also has menace with her few words and is a one woman army as she takes on a destroys a small army of cops.
My favorite thing about this movie is it's not afraid to get brutal and dark. It shows you just how impractical being a superhero in the real world really is people die and it's not pleasant .
Overall while I don't believe in my opinion that this movie is as good as the first movie it is without a doubt a fantastic sequel. And in a day and age when sequels usually aren't that good this movie breaks the mold. The film has over the top violence and action but it fits so well in this movie.
