Review of Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Rtheom — 15 Aug 2013

I enjoyed this movie, but I was also disappointed in it. It was good, acting was great, effects good, story okay, but it just didn't meet the magic of the first one. Where the first one was a completely unexpected anti-hero story, this actually turned out to be mostly cliche and lacking in originality. It felt like what the first Kick Ass would have been had a producer gotten hold of the script before it went to production. Unfortunately, I think that is what happened here.

An enjoyable movie and one worth seeing in the theater, but nowhere near as good as the original.
