Review of Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Daryl K — 29 Jun 2014
Good sequel, even though some of the budget restraints seem a little more obvious this time, and the film lacks Matthew Vaughn's directing flair. The story, involving teenagers trying to balance their real lives with superheroing, works pretty well.
Some have criticized the dark humor and violence as being unpleasantly off-tone with the first 'Kick-Ass', but I felt it was a logical escalation. The unpleasantness is certainly toned down a bit from the Mark Millar comics.
Similar to last film's Nic Cage, a surprisingly good turn here from Jim Carrey -- one of his better recent roles, in fact.
